The unification of DeFi ecosystems is of the utmost importance as we push towards a cross-chain future. For this to become a reality however, the industry must not be willing to sacrifice security for access. If indeed DeFi’s future will be cross-chain, then bridges that allow for cross-ecosystem activities must…

Following on from our previous Dev Logs #12, our team continues to build at full steam ahead with our focus unchanged. The Picasso and Pablo team are finalizing the audits and testing ahead of launch, the bridging team is making the last adjustments in order for the IBC KSM<>Bridge, and…

As a team that actively works with both the Polkadot and Cosmos ecosystems, we believe that their reconciliation will create a trustless and cohesive experience for Web3. The culmination of our efforts manifests itself in the cross-chain virtual machine (XCVM), a top-level orchestration layer for deploying and executing cross-chain functions…

In our bid to advance trustless bridging as the standard across all of DeFi, we have pioneered the first trustless bridge between KSM<>DOT via IBC. For detailed information on how this works, see the announcement by our Founder and CEO 0xBrainjar. Part of the announcement includes the future of Mosaic…

Overview Following on from our first-ever IBC Kusama<>Polkadot trustless bridge announcement, we can now reveal the development progress that we will leverage for the launch of Picasso and Pablo. A significant amount of the work for the bridge has already been completed as we will detail below. Whilst the announcement of…

We continue to deconstruct the XCVM use cases article written by our Founder & CEO, 0xbrainjar, as the third and final part of the series we focus our attention on user experience (UX) and tooling. The core strength of the XCVM will be its ability to abstract the complexity of…

We have discussed earlier in our series that the XCVM will open up new opportunities for DeFi developers to create compelling use cases that appeal to both consumers and institutions. Furthermore, this will enable the development of novel cross-chain dApps across four major categories: aggregation, arbitrage, onboard ramps into DeFi…

The XCVM’s primary objective is to eliminate the obstacles that developers face when building and deploying cross-chain solutions. The XCVM will enable user-centric applications that abstract the development process and simplify the user experience. With this in mind, our Founder and CEO, 0xbrainjar published an article revealing the potential use-cases…

As ecosystems contend with each other in a zero-sum competition, DeFi’s liquidity is fragmented among them, hampering its overall growth which negatively impacts users and developers alike. The functionalities of applications and protocols must be able to transcend ecosystems if DeFi is to be widely adopted. At Composable, we have…
