Most builders don’t need more blockspace. They need infrastructure that protects strategy. Private swaps. Confidential lending. Dark pools for retail. On-chain products people can use without exposing every move. That’s what builders are creating on Horizen. Built on @base. Privacy-first by design.

good morning Hong Kong dm me if you're in town this week









Onchain trading will win. However, for years, the tech hasn’t been ready. That’s no longer the case. An amazing trading application like @Polymarket can be built completely onchain (i.e., matching, execution, and settlement all happen with no single point of failure, source-available deterministic ordering, and verifiable state) and scale to worldwide adoption with the @Aptos technology stack. Almost a year ago, we said (x.com/AveryChing/sta…) that the world’s fastest, most scalable, lowest-cost blockchain infra would become the global trading engine and that many innovative advancements would be critical to make that happen. Many doubted it was possible. However, building a scalable onchain trading platform is no longer an aspiration. It’s in production today. * The first onchain CLOB to match CEX performance is now live with @decibeltrade. 33ms median block times in mainnet today and Zaptos optimizations in prod. No other onchain product comes close. * Guaranteed maker preference via re-ordered transactions ensures that tight spreads are possible even in the presence of toxic taker flow. This is live in the DLP vault today. * X-chain accounts are live and support importing and exporting liquidity from EVM, Solana, & Sui. * MEV protection protects traders from being front-run or sandwich attacked * Bulk trades (x.com/sitalkedia/sta…) mean makers can quote at rates>99% lower than those of any other on-chain infrastructure. Faster quoting, tighter quoting, better price execution. There are worlds of difference between a normal blockchain, a high-performance blockchain, and a global trading engine when it comes to onchain trading. A high-performance blockchain might be 10x more efficient than a typical blockchain infrastructure. Still, a global trading engine can be 100x to 1000x more efficient than a high-performance blockchain. Kind of like a single-core CPU vs a multi-core CPU vs an Nvidia B200. Let’s build the next generation of trading applications together on the right infrastructure @devjoshstevens. 💪
