SINGAPORE, Singapore, December 19th, 2024/Chainwire/--Mantle Network, an Ethereum layer 2 (L2) known for its modular design and being the first adopter of EigenLayer’s EigenDA, today announced its architectural transition to a zero-knowledge (ZK) validity rollup through an industry-first alliance with Succinct. Combining its modular architecture, data availability solutions through EigenDA, and now zero-knowledge proofs via SP1, Mantle Network embarks on creating the liquidity chain for institutional-grade settlement and value transfer in the crypto ecosystem. Since Mantle Network’s mainnet launch on July 7, 2023, the burgeoning on-chain ecosystem has grown to become a top 5 L2 by total value locked (TVL) with $2.2 billion and counting. The network has processed 175 million on-chain transactions, seen 1.4 million smart contracts deployed, connected to 10 million unique wallet addresses and maintained 4.9 million monthly active wallet addresses since its inception. Mantle Network continues to drive capital efficiency in the on-chain economy with the integration of ZK validity rollup technology, providing crucial next-generation technical infrastructure to support and amplify secure growth of high-value asset settlements. Backed by one of the largest community-owned treasuries globally with $4.3 billion in asset reserves, Mantle Network’s technical roadmap directly supports its vision of accelerating seamless, secure and efficient movement of institutional capital across traditional and decentralized markets. Accelerating Institutional-Grade Asset Settlements Through ZK Validity Innovation With the testnet launch in Q1 2025 with intention towards mainnet upgrade, Mantle Network is set to evolve from an optimistic rollup model to a ZK validity rollup through Succinct’s SP1. This architectural change drastically reduces chain finality from seven days to one hour – enabling fast institutional-grade asset settlements that support and address capital efficiency opportunities throughout traditional finance and the blockchain industry. The transformative efficiency gains of ZK validity proofs have garnered significant market traction. Already powering applications with a cumulative $4.4 billion capital across leading ZK L2 ecosystems, Mantle Network maintains a bullish belief in the advancement of ZK technology to further the broader Ethereum ecosystem. Performance benefits can allow Mantle’s flagship assets, such as $mETH, $cmETH and $FBTC, with an aggregate $3.9 billion TVL, to proliferate across the wider decentralized finance (DeFi) domain. This enables better swap market spreads, lower slippage, deeper money markets, improved interest rates, and broader asset availability. Market intermediaries can rapidly rebalance inventories between Mantle Network (Layer 2) and Ethereum (Layer 1), and users can quickly move permissionlessly to access a unique set of onward routes and integrations. Key Technical Benefits The strategic integration of Succinct’s SP1 offers a suite of advanced features catered to developers and users: Fast Finality: Boasting a 168x improvement in bridging capabilities, transactions achieve finality in one hour – enabling quick withdrawals and seamless operations to redefine user experience.
EVM Equivalence: Succinct’s SP1 full EVM bytecode compatibility ensures developers can leverage existing Ethereum tooling and smart contracts without compromise.
Cost Efficiency: Prover fees integrated into transaction costs eliminate additional financial burdens for rollup teams with minimal cost impact to users, as low as fractions of a cent per transaction.
Enabling a Multi-Chain Future: The advancement reaffirms Mantle Network’s alignment with Ethereum’s security ethos while laying the groundwork for cross-rollup interoperability at scale through ZK proofs. Driving the Future of ZK Rollups OP Succinct combines the power of Succinct’s SP1 zkVM with the modularity of the OP Stack, bridging the gap between user-friendly optimistic rollups and complex zero-knowledge technology. The innovation promotes interoperability, flexibility, and standardization that addresses Ethereum’s existing challenges. By adopting ZK validity proofs, Mantle Network transactions are cryptographically verified to be correctly sequenced and settled. This higher tier of security allows everyone to more easily and safely explore frontier areas that enhance the Ethereum experience — such as supporting more advanced application logic, enabling cross-chain actions, improving latency, and adopting multi-sequencer architectures. Joshua Cheong, Product Lead at Mantle said: “In my previous banking career, I witnessed traditional banking infrastructure and legacy banking business models struggle to keep up with the emergence of FinTech disruptors built with cloud services that boast cost advantages. The introduction of programmable blockchains along with stablecoins heralds the next natural step in disruption of financial services – being even more operationally efficient and resilient. The integration of Succinct’s SP1 marks a defining chapter in Mantle Network’s strategic blockchain journey to support banking for the next generation. By uniting zero-knowledge proofs with the proven versatility of the OP Stack, we’re not just evolving as a Layer-2 solution – we’re setting a new benchmark for institutional-grade Ethereum scalability that enables highly efficient and unparalleled security for high-value transactions at the cost of a few cents with 24/7 settlements.” Uma Roy, CEO and Co-Founder at Succinct added: “Succinct’s SP1 empowers any developer to make ZK applications by just writing Rust, accelerating the adoption of ZK and verifiable computation. With OP Succinct, we can propel any OP Stack rollup into the future by providing fast finality with no downsides. By merging SP1’s blazing fast performance with Mantle’s progressive vision, we’re enabling developers to reimagine decentralized applications with unprecedented speed, efficiency, and reliability. Together, we’re building the foundation for Ethereum’s interconnected and scalable future.” A Unified Ethereum Ecosystem The synergy of fast finality, Ethereum-standard compatibility, and cost efficiency promises a profound impact, reducing fragmentation and unlocking the potential for next-generation decentralized applications (dApps). The transition enhances Mantle Network’s commitment to Ethereum’s decentralized security model as an ETH-aligned Layer 2, enabling a more cohesive ecosystem with seamless asset and information flows. Mantle Network is now poised to be a future-ready L2 chain as a native ZK rollup. As the Ethereum landscape evolves, Mantle Network’s adoption of Succinct’s SP1 positions it as a leader in scalability and innovation. Developers, users, and ecosystem partners can look forward to a faster, more secure, and interconnected Ethereum future. About Succinct Succinct brings zero-knowledge proofs to any developer with SP1—the world’s fastest zkVM. Succinct’s Decentralized Prover Network provides affordable and reliable proof generation infrastructure for rollups, bridges, coprocessors and other applications using ZKPs.

**ZUG, Switzerland, December 17th, 2024/Chainwire/--**Atom Accelerator(AADAO), a governance-mandated DAO of the Cosmos Hub, has announced $250,000 funding support to Confio for the continued development and maintenance of CosmWasm throughout 2025. This funding is being matched by Neutron, the integrated application network in Cosmos, with a further $250,000. CosmWasm, developed by Confio since 2020, powers smart contract functionality for nearly 100 chains, enabling developers to create decentralized applications (dApps) that operate seamlessly across the interchain. In the past 12 months, contracts built with CosmWasm in the Cosmos ecosystem generated over $5.7 million in fees. Despite its widespread adoption, the Interchain Foundation has thus far been the primary funder for the development and maintenance of Cosmwasm. Following organizational restructuring at the Interchain Foundation (ICF), Confio’s funding for the year 2025 has been drastically reduced. “CosmWasm is a critical resource for the Cosmos ecosystem, underpinning many of the applications and chains that drive value to the interchain,” said AADAO contributors. “This proposal represents a collaborative effort to ensure its longevity and continued impact.” The contributions form the foundation of the CosmWasm Coalition initiative aimed at raising the approximately $2 million required to maintain and develop CosmWasm in 2025. The funds will enable Confio’s team to continue delivering on critical functions, including security research and incident response, feature development and performance optimization, documentation and developer support, SDK compatibility maintenance, and testing and developer experience (DevX) tooling improvements. This initiative builds on the Cosmos Hub’s previous support for CosmWasm, including the successful allocation of $1.25 million under Proposal #103 in March 2023. The Cosmos Hub relies on CosmWasm for permissioned smart contract capabilities, making its continued maintenance essential to the Hub’s operations and future upgrades. Many consumer chains utilizing the Hub’s Interchain Security have built their infrastructure on CosmWasm, making the framework vital to sustaining and expanding the ecosystem. By committing to early funding, the Cosmos Hub secures priority consideration for its technical needs and those of its consumer chains in Confio’s development roadmap. By taking the first step in committing funding, AADAO and Neutron hope that their initiative will encourage additional contributions from other ecosystem stakeholders, ensuring the financial stability of CosmWasm and the broader interchain ecosystem. About Atom Accelerator DAO (AADAO) Atom Accelerator DAO (AADAO) is a governance-mandated DAO of the Cosmos Hub. They have been formed and mandated to drive value for the Cosmos Hub & ATOM, supporting initiatives that either directly create economic impact or produce value that can drive its growth.

I've been the happy owner of several Philips Hue-connected lights for a few years. Some of them are coloured, some of them regular. In addition, I bought a sensor to go along with the light I installed in my toilets: it turns on automatically when it detects a movement there. In this post, I want to document how I replaced the proprietary automation with Home Assistant's. The current Philips Hue automation I mentioned the light and the sensor in the introduction. To manage both directly or via Google Home, you need an additional component - the Hue Hub. The Hub needs an Ethernet connection, but you can't connect it to Wifi. The next step is to register the device. Installing the dedicated Philips Hue app on your phone or tablet is the first step. Once installed, you can proceed to register the Hub itself. You must then register the Hub itself. You must long push the button on top of the hub, probably for security reasons. If everything goes well, as it did for me, you should see your devices on the app. The process goes the same for the motion sensor. After registering it, you can configure it to turn on the light when it detects motion. Even better, you can set the light's intensity (and colour if it's a coloured bulb) to adapt to the time of the day. Indeed, it's better to have a low-intensity reddish light at night to keep your melatonin. Migrating to Home Assistant We will migrate step-by-step, as I did, to show you how straightforward and manageable it is. The first mandatory step is to add the Philips Hue integration. Integrating Philips Hue Go to the left Settings menu, then select the Devices & services item on the screen. The opening window displays four tabs: Integrations, Devices, Entities, and Helpers. The default tab is Integrations: click the Add Integration button at the bottom left corner. Select Philips > Hue, then configure the IP of the Hue Hub. After Home Assistant has detected the latter, it will display it and all associated devices. Note that you can add multiple hubs, even though one hub can manage (a bit more than) fifty connected devices. At this point, Home Assistant should display every device added to your Hub. At this point, the devices appear in your default dashboard overview. I'll probably write about it in a later post. Suffice it to say that the default dashboard overview automatically displays every device added. We can now turn on the lights via Home Assistant's UI. Binding the light to the sensor Before binding the light to the sensor in Home Assistant, we must unbind it in the proprietary Hub. Go to the Settings > Accessories menu in the Philips app. Select the motion sensor and click the Configure in another app button. You can ensure it's unbound if the sensor now appears in the previous screen with a Not configured in this app label. Additionally, the slider should be disabled. We are now ready to bind the light to the sensor in Home Assistant via an Automation. I mentioned Automation objects in the previous post on concepts. As a reminder, an Automation consists of three components: A when condition, the event that triggers the automation
A then clause, what to do when the event happens
An optional if condition. Each component can consist of one or multiple components assembled via boolean logic. It's time to dive a bit deeper. You can create an automation via the UI by going to the Settings > Automations & scenes menu. It brings you to a screen with three tabs; Automations is the default. Click on the bottom right Create Automation. The Automation is so standard that it has a dedicated menu item! The non-generic menu items use a Blueprint. I'll keep the explanation of Blueprint objects for a later post; suffice to say for now that it's akin to a template. It's pretty straightforward to configure it. The Blueprint is already selected. You must choose your motion sensor and the light(s) you want to turn on. The UI lists all available choices for the former. For the latter, you can choose a single light Device or a group in an Area or via a Label. The final parameter is self-describing: "Time to leave the light on after last motion is detected." Click on Save. Congratulations, you've successfully implemented your first automation! It's a significant step in your journey with Home Assistant, and it's just the beginning of what you can achieve. When the sensor detects a motion, it sends the event to Home Assistant. The latter sees there's a related automation and turns on the light. It also starts a timer and resets it every time it receives an event from the sensor. When it reaches zero, it turns the light off. You can achieve this by directly writing the YAML configuration. Locate the file automation.yaml file; by default, it should be under the /config folder. It displays the newly created automation: - id: '1719829445000'
  alias: Turn on the toilet light

    path: homeassistant/motion_light.yaml

We replaced the proprietary Hub automation with the Home Assistant one. Yet, the replacement was not on feature parity: we miss the light brightness! During the night, the brightness is the same as during the day, whereas we configured it differently in the previous setup. Conclusion In this, we moved from the proprietary Philips Hue automation between a sensor and a light to one in Home Assistant. It's a common scenario, so Home Assistant makes it straightforward via a Blueprint. Yet, in the end, we missed a crucial feature: brightness adjustment based on the time. In our next post, we are going to address this gap. To go further: Home Assistant
Philips Hue
Emulated Hue Originally published at A Java Geek on December 8th, 2024 I've been the happy owner of several Philips Hue-connected lights for a few years. Some of them are coloured, some of them regular. In addition, I bought a sensor to go along with the light I installed in my toilets: it turns on automatically when it detects a movement there. In this post, I want to document how I replaced the proprietary automation with Home Assistant's. The current Philips Hue automation I mentioned the light and the sensor in the introduction. To manage both directly or via Google Home, you need an additional component - the Hue Hub. The Hub needs an Ethernet connection, but you can't connect it to Wifi. need The next step is to register the device. Installing the dedicated Philips Hue app on your phone or tablet is the first step. Once installed, you can proceed to register the Hub itself. You must then register the Hub itself. You must long push the button on top of the hub, probably for security reasons. If everything goes well, as it did for me, you should see your devices on the app. The process goes the same for the motion sensor. After registering it, you can configure it to turn on the light when it detects motion. Even better, you can set the light's intensity (and colour if it's a coloured bulb) to adapt to the time of the day. Indeed, it's better to have a low-intensity reddish light at night to keep your melatonin . melatonin Migrating to Home Assistant We will migrate step-by-step, as I did, to show you how straightforward and manageable it is. The first mandatory step is to add the Philips Hue integration. Integrating Philips Hue Go to the left Settings menu, then select the Devices & services item on the screen. The opening window displays four tabs: Integrations , Devices , Entities , and Helpers . The default tab is Integrations : click the Add Integration button at the bottom left corner. Settings Devices & services Integrations Devices Entities Helpers Integrations Add Integration Select Philips > Hue , then configure the IP of the Hue Hub. After Home Assistant has detected the latter, it will display it and all associated devices. Philips > Hue Note that you can add multiple hubs, even though one hub can manage (a bit more than) fifty connected devices. At this point, Home Assistant should display every device added to your Hub. At this point, the devices appear in your default dashboard overview. I'll probably write about it in a later post. Suffice it to say that the default dashboard overview automatically displays every device added. We can now turn on the lights via Home Assistant's UI. Binding the light to the sensor Before binding the light to the sensor in Home Assistant, we must unbind it in the proprietary Hub. Go to the Settings > Accessories menu in the Philips app. Select the motion sensor and click the Configure in another app button. You can ensure it's unbound if the sensor now appears in the previous screen with a Not configured in this app label. Additionally, the slider should be disabled. Settings > Accessories Configure in another app Not configured in this app We are now ready to bind the light to the sensor in Home Assistant via an Automation . I mentioned Automation objects in the previous post on concepts . As a reminder, an Automation consists of three components: in Home Assistant Automation Automation previous post on concepts Automation A when condition, the event that triggers the automation A then clause, what to do when the event happens An optional if condition. A when condition, the event that triggers the automation when A then clause, what to do when the event happens then An optional if condition. if Each component can consist of one or multiple components assembled via boolean logic. It's time to dive a bit deeper. You can create an automation via the UI by going to the Settings > Automations & scenes menu. It brings you to a screen with three tabs; Automations is the default. Click on the bottom right Create Automation . The Automation is so standard that it has a dedicated menu item! Settings > Automations & scenes Automations Create Automation Automation The non-generic menu items use a Blueprint . I'll keep the explanation of Blueprint objects for a later post; suffice to say for now that it's akin to a template . Blueprint Blueprint template It's pretty straightforward to configure it. The Blueprint is already selected. You must choose your motion sensor and the light(s) you want to turn on. The UI lists all available choices for the former. For the latter, you can choose a single light Device or a group in an Area or via a Label . The final parameter is self-describing: "Time to leave the light on after last motion is detected." Click on Save . Blueprint Device Area Label Save Congratulations, you've successfully implemented your first automation! It's a significant step in your journey with Home Assistant, and it's just the beginning of what you can achieve. When the sensor detects a motion, it sends the event to Home Assistant. The latter sees there's a related automation and turns on the light. It also starts a timer and resets it every time it receives an event from the sensor. When it reaches zero, it turns the light off. You can achieve this by directly writing the YAML configuration. Locate the file automation.yaml file; by default, it should be under the /config folder. It displays the newly created automation: automation.yaml /config - id: '1719829445000'

Building Institutional DeFi on Bitcoin: Interview with Startups of the Year 2024 Nominee, Torram

Last June, I spoke at Berlin Buzzwords. In all honesty, I rarely attend others' talks for a variety of reasons: lack of time, lack of energy, no interest in the proposed subjects, etc. When I do, I go either for subjects I know and want to deepen my understanding of or for subjects I know nothing about to get a foot in the door. This time, I attended Monitoring your home, with DevOps observability tools. I thought it would be about OpenTelemetry for your home. After the speaker mentioned Home Assistant, however, I didn't pay much attention to the rest. Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first. Powered by a worldwide community of tinkerers and DIY enthusiasts. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server. I have many different "smart" devices at home and no centralized system to manage them all. Plus, I'm concerned about privacy and am an ardent Open Source proponent. I immediately decided to invest in Home Assistant. In the first post of this series, I describe my current context and goals. The context includes a collection of 'smart' devices at home, each managed separately without a centralized system. My goals are to enhance privacy and control by adopting an open-source, local-first approach to home automation. My Existing Infrastructure My smart home didn't start as a conscious thought but as a speaker's gift of DevFest Vienna. In 2018, Google wanted to promote Google Home Mini, which was part of the package. I put it in my living room, but it delivered little value besides answering a few questions. Soon afterward, a then-colleague gave me a regular Google Home. I moved the Mini to my office and put the regular one in its place. At this point, I had a Deezer account (think Spotify, but French), so I could listen to music by asking Google. With these two assistant devices, I decided to acquire smart lamps, which I could switch on and off with a voice command. I don't remember why, but I set my eyes on a Philips Hue pack. With the solution, you need a dedicated Hub that needs to be physically connected to the network with a cable—no Wi-Fi is possible. I installed lights in a couple of rooms; their setup is relatively easy via the dedicated Hue mobile app. Icing on the cake, the lights were easily imported into Google Home. Through the app, I discovered that the Hub could manage sensors. I configured one to switch on the toilets' light. If the sensor detected no activity, it would switch off after a set period. I was happy with the setup, with one exception: if anybody pressed the button to switch on the light, it would achieve its goal, but I wouldn't be able to control it vocally later. In rooms with people coming in regularly, it defeats the purpose. Worse, people naturally switched off the light when they left the toilets, so the sensor didn't switch on the light back again. The next logical step was to acquire smart switches to fix this issue, which I installed in the relevant rooms. My Goals Everything works as expected. Still, some improvements are in order. I rely on two different providers, Philips and Hue. They do whatever they want with my data, although I unchecked every possible checkbox I could. I can live with it, but I still dislike the lack of privacy. I'd like a local but centralized entry point to monitor and command my devices. These limitations often leave me feeling frustrated and restricted in my choices. They must be compatible with either one or the other. I have other devices which I want to manage, but I can't. This was an introductory post. In the following posts of this series, I'll delve deeper into a specific subject. Stay tuned!

NEW YORK CITY, New York, November 11th, 2024/Chainwire/--Polymer Labs has officially launched Polymer Hub, a real-time interoperability protocol for connecting all Ethereum rollups. By streaming messages, states, and logs over IBC primitives (equivalent to Web2’s TCP/IP), Polymer Hub verifies and stores the headers of all connected rollups, allowing applications to prove any arbitrary state across rollups at vastly reduced overhead. Rollup/L2 ecosystems have historically connected only within their own walled gardens; with Polymer, however, rollups can now communicate across ecosystems and coordinate as fast as they can produce blocks. The protocol offers significant improvements in cross-chain communication latency, bandwidth, and cost for all on-chain primitives compared to existing solutions. Polymer aims to make cross-chain interoperability as fast, efficient, and affordable as blockspace itself, enabling Ethereum applications to scale to the next million users. Increase Bandwidth Reduce Latency Real-time, high-throughput rollups are right around the corner, but existing interoperability protocols (point-to-point and hub-and-spoke models) were not designed to support dense network traffic across hundreds of rollups. According to the team, existing solutions are too slow and expensive for the next generation of applications on Ethereum. As we enter this new era, interoperability solutions must complement their speed and efficiency. Real-time apps require real-time interoperability. Polymer aims to build the fastest and most efficient interoperability protocol for next-generation rollups like MegaETH. The Hub passes messages in real-time via sequencer pre-confirmations, ensuring cross-chain communication latency can keep up with millisecond block times of these rollups. Polymer also leverages EigenDA to scale cross-rollup bandwidth to facilitate data-intensive use cases on-chain. "Real-timeness, the ability to react to inputs with ultra-low latency at massive scale, will enable truly ground-breaking decentralized applications. Readying the infra stack for this revolution will be a joint effort, in which real-time interoperability from Polymer will be crucial." - Lei Yang (Cofounder & CTO MegaETH) Various technologies like shared sequencers and ecosystem-native interoperability intra-nets have fragmented Ethereum into rollup clusters; these clusters, however, can leverage Polymer Hub’s one-to-all architecture to become interoperable with each other within minutes, rather than months. Polymer Hub is also the first interoperability solution to offer re-org protection. This helps enable token bridges and solver networks to safely settle cross-chain transactions in milliseconds and automatically revert them if they deviate from Ethereum’s L1 history. Looking Ahead The next generation of on-chain applications will closely follow the architecture of cloud apps: rollups are the new microservices, AVSs are the new infrastructure services. To enable horizontal scaling on-chain, cross-chain infrastructure must be low-latency, high-bandwidth, and affordably scalable. The Polymer team seeks to improve interoperability performance in order to enable competitive, novel categories of applications, such as high throughput e-commerce and ride-sharing, to be built on-chain. "Building interoperable applications that don’t trade off cost or latency is a requirement to make crypto usable again. At scale, this connective layer needs to be as robust and secure as the Ethereum base layer itself, and Polymer has been uncompromising in achieving this vision." - Vikram Arun (Cofounder & CEO Superform Labs) Starting with the OP stack, Polymer plans to bring real-time interoperability to all rollup ecosystems on Ethereum—enabling swift and cost-effective scaling for applications in the near future. Developers interested in trying Polymer Hub's mainnet can find more information on Polymer Lab's website, and by following Polymer on X (@Polymer_Labs). About Polymer Labs provides real-time, high-throughput interoperability for Ethereum rollups.

QuickSwap, a multi-chain decentralized exchange (DEX), announced its expansion to Ethereum through integration with Orbs Liquidity Hub, marking a strategic move in the DEX ecosystem's evolution. Following a successful governance vote, QuickSwap will utilize Orbs technology to source and manage all liquidity for its Ethereum operations. The integration enables QuickSwap to access both on-chain and off-chain liquidity sources, potentially enhancing trading efficiency on the platform. The move builds upon QuickSwap's existing relationship with Orbs, following earlier implementations of dTWAP and dLIMIT protocols on the Polygon network. These protocols have enabled advanced trading features such as dollar-cost averaging and large trade splitting capabilities. Technical Implementation The Orbs Liquidity Hub operates through a competitive solver network that sources liquidity from various channels. When users initiate trades, these solvers compete to fulfill orders using multiple sources, including automated market maker (AMM) pools and private inventory. The system also provides API access, enabling market makers to participate in trade execution. The Hub's infrastructure integrates with established platforms including ParaSwap and Odos, creating a broader liquidity network. This architecture allows for real-time competition among liquidity providers, potentially leading to more efficient price discovery. Market Impact The integration represents a significant development in QuickSwap's multi-chain strategy. Originally launched on Polygon in October 2021 to address Ethereum's high gas fees, QuickSwap has evolved to serve multiple blockchain networks. This expansion to Ethereum using Orbs technology signals a shift in DEX infrastructure development. "The governance vote demonstrates strong community support for this technical integration," noted an industry analyst familiar with the development. "This could influence how other DEXs approach cross-chain expansion and liquidity management." Technical Framework The implementation includes several key components: Complete integration of Orbs Liquidity Hub for Ethereum operations


Competitive solver network for order fulfillment


API accessibility for professional trading entities


Integration with existing liquidity aggregation platforms The system maintains compatibility with both EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) and non-EVM smart contracts, enabling broader market access while preserving existing liquidity pools. Market Context This development occurs amid increasing focus on cross-chain interoperability and liquidity efficiency in decentralized finance. The integration potentially positions QuickSwap to address historical challenges in DEX operations, including liquidity fragmentation and trading efficiency. Market participants will likely monitor several metrics to evaluate the integration's effectiveness, including trading volumes, price efficiency, and cross-chain transaction performance. The implementation's success could influence future developments in DEX architecture and multi-chain trading solutions. Don’t forget to like and share the story!
