You asked. We bridged. SHx is expanding into the XRPL ecosystem. Through our new bridge via @squidrouter and @axelar, SHx can now move across chains into an ecosystem built for regulated, enterprise-grade participation. This is a step toward more accessible, compliant liquidity. Bridge here: sghd.co/SHxRPL #SHxRPL #SHx #Ripple

Every hacking and stolen money incident harms the trust users place on our blockchain systems as a whole and delays adoption of the global worldwide ledger we're envisioning. We stand with the @LayerZero_Core team as they're navigating this difficult situation and rebuilding trust. Each such incident is a learning opportunity for the whole community, and in this case, us, the rest of the interoperability ecosystem. While we're still waiting for the forensic evidence to come out for the final verdict, we're reminded there's multiple safeguards to building safe bridges, and all of them must be taken care of to effect security-in-depth. First, secure the opsec of the bridge operators, validators, and verifiers with correct incentives and training, and remove validators who have not illustrated technical excellence. Second, make sure the number of operators is large, heterogeneous, diverse, and geographically dispersed, not ultimately owned and controlled by a single entity that can be compromised. As we know from Axelar, building bridges takes years of effort and we have great respect for the layer0 team and what they've accomplished. We stand with them and by them as they're handling the aftermath of this painful $290M exploit.

That’s a wrap on AI/InfraCon 2026 🎉 300+ builders, researchers, and industry leaders came together at DreamPlus Gangnam during Buidl Asia on April 15 to explore where Web3 infrastructure meets AI. Huge thanks to all speakers and everyone who joined us 🙏 Special thanks to our co-hosts @redstone_defi @squidrouter

Grateful for being part of AI/InfraCon during @koreabuidlweek and to connect with the Korean community. Seoul, you were amazing. Until next time.

Let's dive into our collaboration with @axelar over the years and how it led to Common Prefix becoming the ecosystem’s steward. Our journey with Axelar began in 2021, before the network had launched on mainnet. We audited the initial versions of the AxelarGateway smart contracts that connect EVM chains with Axelar. Over the years, our collaboration deepened. Together with Interop Labs, we became the primary contributors of the ecosystem, building a series of complex chain integrations, including the integrations with XRP Ledger, Hedera, and Solana. Leading up to the stewardship transition, we also took ownership of numerous core components of the Axelar stack, such as Axelarscan and ITS Portal. Today's stewardship marks a new chapter in a journey that started 5 years ago, built on shared innovation and trust.
