Cosmos

Osmosis and Router Chain Integration

Osmosis, the leading Cosmos DEX, has integrated with Router Chain, enabling seamless asset-bridging from 25+ EVM and non-EVM chains. This integration, approved by the Osmosis community, allows Router Protocol to enhance Osmosis with advanced cross-chain solutions and marks the first IBC-type connection for Router Chain. The partnership connects the Cosmos and Tron ecosystems, enabling the transfer of USDC, USDT, and TRX across these networks, opening new pathways for liquidity and cross-chain innovation.

Balanced Enters Interchain

Balanced is a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol designed for simplicity and cross-chain functionality. It features a stablecoin (bnUSD) and an exchange that allows for seamless swapping and transferring of assets across connected blockchains. With support for 8 blockchains and plans for more, Balanced leverages the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol for easier integration with Cosmos SDK-based chains, using ICON’s General Message Passing (GMP) for secure, multi-protocol transactions. Balanced aims to unify liquidity and reduce trading complexity, enabling users to deposit major assets as collateral and access cross-chain financial services. Upcoming updates include new blockchain connections and enhanced features like concentrated liquidity and a cross-chain token standard.

Cardano

The Chang Upgrade

The Chang upgrade, set for September 1, 2024, represents a major leap for Cardano, introducing the Voltaire governance system. Charles Hoskinson emphasizes its transformative potential for blockchain governance, drawing a parallel with historical financial discussions at Jackson Hole. Voltaire aims to create a decentralized governance model, combining liquid democracy with a constitutional republic, and includes a sovereign wealth fund of 1.5 billion ADA. This upgrade reflects Cardano’s commitment to long-term, robust governance and is seen as a pivotal step toward realizing a more equitable global system.
