Since you are all so impatient and I’m still putting the finishing touches on the full report which will be available to our institutional @UpholdOTC client base, here is a preview. Ever feel lost in the crypto world, bouncing between different chains and wallets just to make one simple transaction? You're not alone. The biggest challenge in crypto today is fragmentation—a universe of isolated chains and tokens that don’t talk to each other. One solution is focus on bridgeless interoperability with @quantnetwork as the thought leader here But there’s a new approach that could change everything. My team at Uphold Research is finding published an in-depth report on how Kaspa is taking on this problem. It’s an ambitious project that’s not only supercharging its base layer but also pioneering a new way for different crypto ecosystems to work together seamlessly. The idea is to have all the speed and scalability of separate chains with the unified experience of just one, able to connect to all other securely and ultimately quantum resistant to. We explore this and more, including: What fragmentation really means and why it's a huge problem for users and developers. The "Based Rollup" model and how it’s different from what other networks are doing. Our Kaspa vision to create a single, unified ecosystem where everything is connected. Running at the speed of the Internet i itself and enjoying non of the scalability issues of linear chains, we believe that BlockDAG tech is essential and inevitable next step in the evolution of blockchain. With admirable dedication and prowess @hashdag has been working on this concept for over 10 years. And yes, they’ll be an X space or webinar with him very soon. This article gives you the highlights, but there’s a lot more in the complete report. Be sure to check back for a deep dive into the technology, the challenges, and what a truly unified crypto future could look like. Let's keep building and learning 🚀

With the introduction of a new generation of layer 1s from @circle and @stripe we’re seeing an institutional play and evolution of blockchains. Aligned with Quant’s mission of enabling institutions to safely and securely transact on any layer 1 network while preserving security, privacy and compliance. Timely that we’ve released Quant Fusion’s "Open Source Connector" specification. This has been trialled very successfully. Within days of releasing the specification, connectors for EVM, Hedera and SUI had been built: docs.overledger.dev/docs/13th-augu… We can easily add Circle’s Arc and Stripe’s Tempo to Fusion’s Layer 2.5 roll up and network for institutional interoperability of digital assets with digital money. Excited to see how this progresses and grows.

What is the Trusted Node Program? Overledger Fusion is powered by a flexible and incentivised network of trusted node operators fit for institutional use. Key features include: - Decentralised control: Approved node operators determine which underlying blockchains to host. Flexible onboarding: Onboard new ledgers with ease via Bring Your Own Node and Bring Your Own Connector capabilities. - Granular access control: Define organisational and cross-organisational permissions using customisable API key roles and gateway rules. - Incentivised participation: Approved node operators of the Layer 2.5 network can determine the underlying blockchains to host to expand the reach of the Layer 2.5 network. Leveraging our previous thinking and experiments in remote connector gateways from 2021, as well as rewards in QNT, node operators can stake QNT for transaction priority from the transactions their nodes process. Anyone can participate. Users who are currently an Overledger.dev KYC'ed user can participate in the TNP. Of course, enterprise and institutional customers are also invited to participate! The goal is to expand the Layer 2.5 to interconnect and interoperate as many permissioned and permissionless blockchains as possible.
