Network Expansion - Introducing Avalanche 🔺 We’re pleased to share that Crypto Factor will integrate the Avalanche Partial chain into Interchain and expand operations to the Avalanche blockchain. @avax @AvalancheFDN This is not a reaction to trend. It is a planned and deliberate step in the evolution of our infrastructure. We are expanding the surface area of Crypto Factor - carefully, strategically - to support new categories of tokenised assets and commercial deployments, while continuing to strengthen the network integrations that already power our ecosystem. Why Avalanche? Avalanche combines high throughput with near-instant finality through its multi-chain architecture. For tokenisation at scale, performance is not a feature - it is a fresh foundation. Its subnet model enables sovereign, purpose-built layer-1 environments. This allows projects building on our infrastructure to operate within tailored execution contexts, while remaining connected to the wider ecosystem through Interchain. Avalanche has also emerged as a serious environment for real-world asset tokenisation. Strong tooling, flexible asset issuance and native cross-chain capability make it well suited to structured, long-term deployment models. And sustainability matters. Independent benchmarking places Avalanche among the most energy-efficient major proof-of-stake networks. For infrastructure that aims to support responsibly aligned markets, that characteristic is not incidental - it is intentional. A Complementary Expansion. This move does not replace or compete with our existing partner chains. Partisia Blockchain, DeFiChain and Polygon remain foundational to Crypto Factor’s strategy. - @partisiampc - @defichain - @0xPolygon Avalanche extends our reach. It strengthens Interchain. It broadens what we can build - for who, with confident intent. Labs will be sharing more on what this unlocks and technically entails very soon! @cfr_labs











InterChain Fees Optimization and Node Operations It has been a while since we last shared a development update, but like everyone else, we have been busy clearing our backlog at the year's end. As part of the focus areas for the year at Crypto Factor, we want to share some upcoming changes planned for InterChain, as well as address recent changes affecting InterChain fees. One of our main focuses in the evolution of InterChain is the long-term optimization of fees, the expansion of node operations, and initial steps toward decentralizing the network. We plan to implement a series of steps divided into two phases by the end of this year. Phase 1 - Extend InterChain Mesh Layer (Execution Layer) 1. Implement support for multi-chain state validation and risk evaluation modules. This will enable protocols to choose where to deploy their master state and risk modules, thus lowering fees for executing cross-chain transactions. 2. Introduce time-based block confirmation to reinforce expected execution and reduce the deviation between block mints and finalization. 3. Integrate mempool commitment proof validation into the node consensus layer to lower the costs of mempool merge operations. Phase 2 - Extend InterChain Node Consensus Layer 1. Enhance the current peer-to-peer block propagation protocol and the masterchain storage to decrease block storage and L1 transaction costs. 2. Update the node consensus layer to a high-performance BFT consensus engine focused on cost efficiency, stability, and higher transactions per second (TPS), while facilitating further decentralization of node operations. 3. Implement block signing as part of the node consensus layer to promote further decentralization and reduce transaction costs. 4. Expand the network by adding new node operators to enhance the stability, availability, and security of the blockchain. These steps aim to ensure lower fees, faster execution, and greater stability for InterChain in the long run. Due to recent changes on the Partisia Blockchain and the adjustment of wMPC GAS, fees on InterChain have increased to cover additional costs. This situation requires a short-term resolution until our previously mentioned plan is implemented to provide a smooth user experience on InterChain. To address the high fees in the short term, we are implementing a new system that will allow us to subsidize a portion of the fees for executing IC transactions, helping to bring the costs closer to previous levels. We expect this system to restore normal levels of usage for InterChain until further changes can effectively lower costs in the long term. The new system is expected to be deployed in the coming weeks, and we look forward to an exciting year for Crypto Factor and InterChain. As always, we will see you on-chain!
