Picasso x Canto: Expanded Interoperability via IBC
We are thrilled to announce that Canto is now live on Picasso. This integration is another step toward full interoperability in and out of Canto, enabling an Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) connection via Picasso allows Canto to operate seamlessly on various chains that were previously inaccessible, including Polkadot, Ethereum, Solana and more.Vision with Picasso and Available AssetsCanto’s vision is to fulfill the promise of DeFi, embracing a future that is inherently multi-chain.

Canto Genesis
We’re nearing the public launch of Canto, a Layer 1 blockchain providing core DeFi primitives designed to support the Free Public Infrastructure. We’re excited to invite the community to review the following details on token distribution for the Canto network, including the inaugural liquidity mining incentives, and grants for eligible participants in the Settlers of Cantos testnet event.Genesis BlockAt genesis, 1B tokens were minted. The tokens will be distributed in the following manner:Con...

Canto Launch Sequence
As the Canto launch approaches, the development team has prepared a timeline for the Canto community. The sequence will begin with Settlers of Canto, a dress rehearsal for the Canto launch, followed by protocol activations, and Canto’s inaugural liquidity mining program.July 16th, 11AM CT: Settlers of CantoStarting at 11AM CT, we will open up our testnet for interested users to get early access to Canto.

Union is an interoperability layer that uses consensus verification to create unstoppable and decentralized connections to enable anyone to transfer assets and data. This partnership provides further interoperability optionality, enhanced liquidity, and access to a wider array of assets for the Canto ecosystem.
More on Union
Union is a sovereign interoperability layer solving the sovereign bridging tri-lemma. Union is:
Trustless: Union implements proper consensus-verification and does not compromise on IBC's security guarantees.
Decentralized: Through CometBLS' hyper-efficient prover, proofs can be generated by anyone rather than relying on large or centralized institutions.
Permissionless: Union's infrastructure allows for anyone to set up sovereign connections to new networks.
Canto Ecosystem Benefits
Canto contributors see three main areas this collaboration will bolsters Canto’s ecosystem:
Elevated Interoperability Options:
Canto’s existing integration with LayerZero set the foundation for seamless cross-chain interactions on Canto. Users will now have access to multiple options for transferring assets across different chains, enhancing Canto’s cross-chain experience.
More Liquidity, Users and Activity:
The synergies between Canto and Union will provide further onramp optionality from Cosmos and Ethereum L2s, providing more users, activity, to foster Canto’s vibrant ecosystem.
Union’s partnerships with EVM-compatible L2s, such as Scroll, will also give Canto immediate access to Ethereum tokens issued and used in those execution environments.
Access to a Wider Array of Assets:
Canto users will gain access to assets on advanced rollups built on platforms like Celestia. Moreover, the partnership facilitates the native issuance of USDC on the increasingly popular Noble, broadening asset diversity for Canto users.
Our Vision Moving Forward:
Canto’s vision has always been to create the best execution layer for original work, which is only realized in an ecosystem that offers seamless and plentiful options for cross-chain experiences. Canto’s partnership with Union is another crucial step towards realizing this vision. It represents a commitment to delivering a richer, more versatile on-chain environment for the Canto community.
The Canto <> Union development is yet another testament to Canto’s dedication to developer and user-centric development. Follow Canto on X and subscribe to the blog to hear about what we’re working on first!
