Today, we are announcing our integration with Hyperlane ⏩,... the open interoperability framework connecting more than 150 blockchain networks. Shield Swap is built for confidential trading. Participant identities stay off the public ledger, portfolio balances remain encrypted to the participant’s keys, and trades do not expose the participant’s full activity to public observers. Each transaction also creates an encrypted compliance record that can be disclosed to authorized parties when required. But confidential execution is only useful if participants can get their assets into the venue without rebuilding their treasury operations around a new network. Hyperlane solves that access problem. Its framework supports asset transfers across EVM, Solana, Cosmos, and other virtual machine environments. A single Hyperlane integration can connect applications and assets across more than 150 networks. For Shield Swap participants, that means assets can move into the venue from the networks where they already sit. Hyperlane also gives applications control over how cross-chain messages are verified. Its Interchain Security Modules allow developers to choose and combine security models for their deployment. Validator sets and signature thresholds can be configured around the requirements of the application rather than inherited from a single bridge-wide model. Transfers into Shield Swap remain visible on their origin networks. Confidentiality begins when the assets are shielded inside the venue. From that point, the participant’s identity, balances, and trading activity stay out of public view. View keys allow the participant to disclose the relevant records to authorized parties without making those records public. During the beta period, the initial Hyperlane routes will support ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, and wBTC on Ethereum. Early access is available to a limited number of beta participants atshow more

Today, we are announcing our collaboration with NEAR Intents,... the intent-based execution layer connecting assets and participants across 34 blockchain networks, which has processed more than $25 billion in all-time volume. Shield Swap is working with NEAR Intents to make it easier for market participants to move assets across blockchain networks and trade without exposing their activity inside the venue to the public market. NEAR Intents is a multichain transaction protocol that allows users to specify the outcome they want, and competing solvers quote the execution. That removes much of the work normally involved in moving assets across chains. Participants do not need to choose a bridge, build a route, or manage gas tokens across several networks. They choose the asset they want to move and the result they want to receive. Solvers handle the route and compete on price. Shield Swap takes a similar approach to confidential trading. Participants are able to execute a trade without publishing their identity, holdings, and strategy to the market. This is difficult to achieve on a transparent blockchain. Wallet addresses are persistent identifiers, and positions can be reconstructed from transaction history. Over time, trades reveal patterns that other market participants can use against the trader. Inside Shield Swap, participant identities stay off the public ledger, portfolio balances remain encrypted to the participant's keys, and trades do not expose the participant's full activity to public observers. Each transaction also creates a compliance record that can be disclosed to authorized parties when required. Working with NEAR Intents connects these two parts of the trading process. A participant can state the outcome they want and source assets from supported EVM and non-EVM networks. Solvers compete to deliver the best available route. Once those assets enter Shield Swap and are shielded, subsequent holdings and trades remain confidential inside the venue. Transactions on origin networks remain visible. Confidentiality begins when assets are shielded within Shield Swap. This gives participants access to liquidity across networks without carrying public transaction history into every trade they make afterward. Early access is open to organizations and individual market participants atshow more

What is Chainlink CCIP? Chainlink's (Chainlink) Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol,... or CCIP, is designed to let applications communicate across different blockchain networks. Put simply, CCIP acts as a secure messaging and transfer layer between otherwise disconnected blockchains. Here's how it works: (1) It moves data between blockchains CCIP allows smart contracts on one blockchain to send messages to smart contracts on another network. That means an application can trigger an action on a different chain without requiring users to manually move between ecosystems. (2) It can transfer tokens across networks CCIP also supports cross-chain token transfers. Projects can use token pools and other mechanisms to move assets between supported chains while maintaining controlled supply across networks. (3) It lets you combine messaging and asset movement A major feature of CCIP is that developers can send arbitrary messages, transfer tokens, or do both in a single cross-chain transaction, rather than needing separate systems for each. (4) It uses Chainlink's decentralized oracle infrastructure CCIP relies on Chainlink's decentralized oracle network to validate and deliver cross-chain messages. The system uses multiple independent components to help verify transactions and protect against failures or manipulation. (5) It adds programmable token transfers CCIP is not limited to simply sending an asset from one chain to another. Developers can attach instructions to transfers, allowing receiving applications to automatically perform actions when tokens arrive. This could make cross-chain lending, payments, trading, and other DeFi applications easier to build. (6) It is designed for multiple blockchain environments CCIP supports communication across different blockchain ecosystems rather than forcing applications to operate within a single network. That matters as liquidity, users, and applications become increasingly fragmented across chains. The bigger idea is simple. Blockchains were originally built as separate networks, but users and capital increasingly need to move between them. CCIP is Chainlink's attempt to provide the infrastructure for that movement. If cross-chain applications continue expanding, secure interoperability could become one of the most important layers in the blockchain stack.show more

Canton Network vs. Ethereum: What's the Difference? Ethereum (Ethereum)... is a general-purpose public blockchain where transactions and smart contract activity are broadly visible across the network. Validators use proof-of-stake to agree on the chain’s state. Canton Network (Canton Network) takes a different approach, focusing on privacy, interoperability, and institutional financial workflows. Here are the key differences: (1) Privacy Ethereum is transparent by design. Addresses, balances, transactions, contract calls, and events can generally be inspected publicly. Ethereum is now researching additional privacy technologies, including private reads, private transactions, and zero-knowledge proofs. Canton uses sub-transaction-level privacy. Participants only receive the transaction data relevant to them, while sensitive information is shared on a need-to-know basis. (2) Network Structure Ethereum operates as a public blockchain with a shared global state maintained by its network of nodes and validators, plus layer 2 networks that settle back to it. Canton is designed as a network of networks. Applications can operate across different participant nodes and synchronizers while remaining interoperable, connected through the public Global Synchronizer run by super validators. (3) Consensus Ethereum’s proof-of-stake system uses validators to propose and attest to blocks, with validators staking ETH to participate in network security. Canton separates transaction validation from transaction ordering and confirmation. The participants involved in a transaction validate the relevant smart contract state, while synchronizers coordinate ordering and commits. (4) Smart Contracts Ethereum uses the Ethereum Virtual Machine, allowing developers to deploy programmable smart contracts across a broad public ecosystem. Canton uses Daml-based smart contracts and gives applications control over privacy, governance, permissions, and operating policies. This makes Canton particularly suited to workflows where different institutions need to interact without exposing every transaction to the entire network. (5) Main Use Cases Ethereum has developed into a broad platform for DeFi, NFTs, stablecoins, decentralized applications, and other permissionless applications. Canton is focused heavily on financial infrastructure, including tokenized assets, payments, institutional markets, and workflows requiring confidentiality. So, Ethereum emphasizes public verification and permissionless composability, while Canton emphasizes privacy-preserving interoperability between institutions on a public network.show more

Introducing COTI 2.0 Private Programmable Money COTI shifts into... its next phase, with a new website to match. > Same foundation. Bolder vision. 1. The Vision The world's money will soon move the way information does, on open networks. But those networks are public, and nobody wants to run their finances in public. COTI is now critically tasked with changing that. Its mission is to make private programmable money the global standard, so institutions, businesses, developers and individuals can hold, move and settle value on public blockchains, confidentially. COTI exists to champion this cause. 2. The Foundation Since 2017, COTI has built the privacy technology this next phase runs on. It was the first network to run garbled circuits in production, computing directly on encrypted data so inputs stay encrypted from submission to settlement. Its institutional-grade technology has been developed across leading institutions: 1. European Central Bank 2. Bank of Israel 3. Input Output Global (IOG) 3. Privacy-on-Demand Privacy-on-Demand serves as COTI's privacy layer for other blockchains. It allows applications to keep their users and assets on their existing chain, while COTI handles the private computation. Avalanche was the first network to bring it to production. Since September 17, applications on Avalanche have been computing on confidential data, and users have been shielding AVAX and USDC through the Privacy Portal. Expansion to further networks is a core part of the roadmap. 4. New Products At the centre of COTI 2.0 are two new products, designed to keep transactions private when moving money between blockchains, and when spending it in day to day life. 1. Interphase - The flagship. It serves as the global privacy layer for moving assets between blockchains, and executing confidential, unlinked transfers across 30+ major networks. 2. COTI Global - A new central application, which allows COTI to be spent as a privacy payment rail for everything in day to day life. 5. What's Next The new website and public roadmap are the first of several major upgrades coming this month.show more

What is Quant Network's Overledger? Overledger is Quant’s (Quant)... interoperability platform, designed to connect different blockchains and traditional systems through a common API layer. It tries to make different blockchain networks communicate without forcing developers to build separate integrations for every chain. (1) Overledger acts as a universal API gateway. Developers can use standardized APIs to interact with supported blockchains instead of learning and maintaining separate infrastructure for each network. (2) It works as a translation layer between different blockchain environments. Quant describes Overledger as a “universal translator,” allowing applications to communicate across different DLT architectures through a common interface. (3) This is where Overledger differs from the typical bridge model. Instead of every application relying on a separate bridge between two chains, Overledger provides a common interoperability layer that can connect multiple networks. That can reduce the need for point-to-point integrations, which become increasingly complex as more blockchains enter the ecosystem. (4) Overledger can also power multi-chain applications. Quant calls these mApps, applications designed to operate across multiple distributed ledgers rather than being locked to one blockchain. The platform can also handle transaction signing, asset transfers, and other blockchain interactions through its APIs. (5) But Overledger does not completely eliminate bridges. Quant also provides its own bridge infrastructure for transferring assets between networks, using standardized APIs and smart contracts. Since June 2026, this has also expanded into Quant Fusion, a multi-ledger rollup connecting dozens of blockchains. The bigger idea is that the applications can have interoperability via an infrastructure layer as opposed to establishing the connections all over again.show more

How Does Plume Network turn Real-World Assets Into Crypto... Tokens? Plume (Plume) is a blockchain focused on bringing real-world assets, or RWAs, onchain and making them easier to use across crypto markets. The network creates infrastructure that allows assets such as private credit, real estate, commodities, and other financial products to be represented as blockchain-based tokens. But how does that process actually work? (1) First, an asset needs to be brought onchain. Plume provides infrastructure for issuers to tokenize real-world assets, creating digital representations that can be tracked and transferred on the blockchain. Its tokenization engine, Arc, gives issuers standard templates and built-in compliance checks. (2) The underlying asset still exists outside the blockchain. Tokenization does not automatically turn a property, loan, or other asset into a purely digital asset. Instead, the blockchain token represents rights or claims connected to the underlying asset. (3) Plume also focuses on compliance and asset management. Its ecosystem includes tools designed to help issuers handle onboarding, compliance requirements, asset servicing, and other processes needed to bring RWAs into blockchain markets. In October 2025, Plume registered with the SEC as a transfer agent, so it can keep official ownership records for tokenized securities onchain. (4) Once tokenized, these assets can interact with onchain applications. This can allow tokenized assets to become usable across lending, trading, yield products, and other decentralized financial applications. Nest, Plume's yield protocol, is one example. (5) Plume also uses permissioned structures where required. For assets with legal or investor restrictions, issuers can control which users are allowed to access them.show more

What is Plume Network? Plume (Plume) is a blockchain... built specifically for bringing real-world assets onchain and making them usable in DeFi. Unlike blockchains that treat tokenization as just another application, Plume is building an entire financial ecosystem around real-world assets, or RWAs. Treasuries, private credit, commodities, funds, and other traditionally illiquid assets can be represented as blockchain-based assets and then used across decentralized financial applications. Plume calls this model RWAfi, or real-world asset finance. So what makes Plume different? (1) ) It is purpose-built for RWAs Plume launched its Genesis mainnet in June 2025 as a permissionless blockchain designed around RWA finance. In October 2025, Plume was approved by the SEC as a registered transfer agent, a regulatory step most general-purpose chains don't hold. The network is EVM-compatible, allowing developers to use familiar Ethereum tooling while accessing lower-cost execution. (2) It focuses on more than tokenization. Plume wants tokenized assets to actually do something once they reach the blockchain. Its ecosystem allows RWA-backed assets to be used for lending, borrowing, trading, staking and yield strategies. Its flagship Nest protocol, for example, lets users gain exposure to institutional-backed assets through yield-bearing RWA positions that can then become useful across DeFi. (3) Compliance is built into the infrastructure. Real-world assets come with regulations, investor restrictions and identity requirements that ordinary DeFi tokens usually do not face. Plume has therefore built compliance and screening capabilities directly into its network rather than treating them as an afterthought. Its blockchain includes protocol-level AML, ATF and sanctions screening infrastructure. (4) It is trying to make institutional assets composable. A tokenized Treasury or private credit position does not have to sit idle in a wallet. The goal is to make these assets usable across different financial applications, similar to how USDC, ETH and other crypto assets move through DeFi today. Plume's Portal already allows users to swap, lend, borrow, loop and earn against RWA-backed assets. (5) Plume is also building cross-chain infrastructure. Its SkyLink infrastructure is designed to distribute RWA yields across other blockchain networks. That means Plume does not necessarily need every investor to move onto Plume itself. Instead, the network can act as infrastructure for bringing institutional yield into other ecosystems. (6) The network has attracted major institutional names. Apollo Global Management, WisdomTree, Hamilton Lane and Securitize are among the institutions connected to Plume's ecosystem. Securitize, for example, announced plans to deploy assets through Plume's Nest protocol, linking institutional tokenization infrastructure with Plume's RWA holder base. So where does PLUME fit in? $PLUME is the network's native token. It can be used for gas, staking, governance, collateral and ecosystem access. Plume also says protocol fees can eventually support token buybacks, ecosystem incentives and further network growth. Plume is betting that the next major phase of crypto adoption will not only involve digital-native assets. It will involve putting traditional financial assets onchain and making them programmable. The challenge is turning that vision into deep liquidity, compliant infrastructure and genuine demand. If Plume can solve those problems, it could become an important piece of the infrastructure connecting traditional finance with DeFi.show more

COTI Powers Privacy on Every Chain Avalanche was the... first network to bring Coti's Privacy-on-Demand to production. Since September 16, applications on Avalanche have been computing on confidential data, and users have been shielding AVAX and USDC through the Privacy Portal. Expansion to further networks is a core part of our roadmap. > 1. The Privacy Requirement Institutions are bringing real assets on-chain. On a public chain, every position and payment is visible to anyone, competitors included. Confidentiality is necessary before that capital can scale. Until now, privacy meant leaving for a separate chain, and taking their capital with them. Privacy-on-Demand allows institutions to stay on yours. 2. Understanding COTI Privacy-on-Demand Privacy-on-Demand is creating a privacy layer for every chain. Shield, trade, and settle to pay, bid, and vote privately, without leaving the network. It is the next joint frontier in the privacy and institutional finance markets, and an embodiment of the confidentiality of finance tied with the liquidity of the chains people already use.show more

TL;DR - Privacy on public blockchains has historically been... fragmented and episodic. Umbra introduces persistent, expressive privacy by default. - Umbra is a private financial layer on Solana, enabling private transfers, swaps, balances, and yield within a continuous shielded environment. - Umbra combines client-side zero-knowledge proofs for anonymity with MPC for confidentiality - MPC enables confidential balances via Encrypted Token Accounts (ETAs), hiding balances and transfer amounts - Privacy strength depends not only on cryptography, but on anonymity set size and user behavior. - Umbra treats anonymity sets as a first-class metric and designs the product to minimize behavioral privacy failures. - A multi-purpose shielded pool allows funds to remain private across transfers, swaps, and yield, compounding privacy over time. - The Umbra SDK allows wallets and applications to integrate private transfers, swaps, and balances, feeding activity into a shared shielded pool. - Swaps execute via public liquidity venues while identity, balances, and intent remain unlinkable. - Users can earn yield on shielded assets, incentivizing longer time in the private environment. - Umbra mitigates exit-related privacy risks through product design, including anonymity indicators, configurable unshielding delays, and confidential balances. - UTXO-based shielded systems suffer from performance decay as balances fragment into many notes over time, increasing scan and aggregation costs. - Umbra eliminates this bottleneck by consolidating balances into Encrypted Token Accounts (ETAs), using UTXOs only at the anonymity boundary. The result is encrypted balances with stable, high-performance transfers even as activity scales. - Compliance is addressed through proactive screening against risk databases and opt-in selective disclosure via read-only viewing keys. - Umbra was launched via MetaDAO as an ownership coin, with governance and economic policy determined by token holders through futarchy. - Umbra is not a mixer or a single feature, but a sovereign privacy domain with its own private state and internal economy. - Umbra is Hopecore for Privacy.

Introducing USTX. The native stablecoin of the tx ecosystem... will launch in October. USTX is issued on tx chain and built for what comes next: tokenized stocks, ETFs, and other real-world assets, providing stable liquidity on their native chain. Why a natively issued stablecoin? Tokenized markets are only as strong as the liquidity behind them. Today much of that liquidity sits in USDC, spread across many networks. USTX concentrates it into one native balance on tx, acting as a settlement layer for assets issued there. In traditional markets, trading and settlement are separate processes. On-chain, the asset and the payment can move together, and a native stablecoin allows that process to scale efficiently. USTX is one of the final additions before the tx marketplace goes live: a simple way to bring dollars onto tx and use them across the assets issued there. For issuers and traders, that means deeper liquidity in one place. For the ecosystem, it means the foundation is set for those assets to arrive. Fully backed 1:1 and issued by brale in partnership with tx.show more
