Agoric

Mapping Chain Abstraction Onto a User Flow

The growing focus on chain abstraction and orchestration signifies a shift towards prioritizing user experience in web3, enabling protocols and applications with superior UX to thrive. Chain abstraction simplifies the complexities of interacting with multiple blockchains, providing seamless, centralized experiences. By integrating solutions like Particle Network’s Universal Accounts, Agoric Orchestration, and Avail Nexus, developers can create applications such as a Multi-Chain Asset Manager that streamline asset management, trading, and smart contract interactions, enhancing user accessibility and adoption.

Agoric/Synpress: A Custom E2E Testing Framework for Cosmos SDK

End-to-End (E2E) testing ensures applications work seamlessly from start to finish by verifying interactions among all components. This is particularly crucial in Web3 for enhancing user experience, security, and integration. Historically, E2E testing in the Cosmos ecosystem has been challenging, but Agoric’s Synpress framework, which integrates with the Keplr wallet, provides a robust solution. Built on Cypress, Synpress allows developers to simulate real user interactions, ensuring Dapps function smoothly across blockchain networks. This framework facilitates comprehensive UI testing and can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines for consistent, automated testing.

Neutron

Andromeda and Neutron Partnership

Andromeda and Neutron have forged a groundbreaking partnership, integrating Neutron’s cutting-edge blockchain technology with Andromeda’s innovative Operating System, aOS, to create a powerful platform for developers and users. This collaboration aims to enhance interoperability through Neutron’s robust Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, enabling seamless data exchange across different blockchains. By bringing Neutron’s advanced smart contract functionality to aOS, developers can build dynamic decentralized applications (dApps) with improved scalability and performance. The integration also provides comprehensive development tools, fostering innovation within the Andromeda ecosystem. Furthermore, the partnership generates demand for Andromeda’s native token, ANDR, by enhancing its utility in transaction fees, smart contract execution, and governance. The Andromeda community’s support has been instrumental in realizing this partnership, signaling a transformative journey towards a more interconnected blockchain ecosystem.
