KIRAKIPs 71-87: Collaborative Custody
Congratulations on making it this far. This is the tenth article in a series about KIRA Improvement Proposals (KIPs) 71-87. The first four sets covered staking incentives, network governance, staking economics, and INTERX. This is the first article of the fifth set, focusing on KIRA’s essential infrastructure. Despite significant innovations in the blockchain space, user experience has often been a lower priority. As KIRA approaches mainnet, it’s clear that improving user experience is crucia...
KIRARedefining KIRA: The journey starts with a single step
The only constant in the broader crypto ecosystem is change - a realm of cyclical fluctuations where finding balance and staying true to one's principles can be challenging. As the sands of time shift, as old narratives and promises fade, axioms become evident and a new era of crypto starts to unfold. We are constantly in pursuit of the principles that endure through these changes. It has been quite some time since KIRA began its voyage through the interchain paradigm of the blockchain u...
KIRAFinal Token Distribution
The first and most important duty of a parent is to nurture their child towards independence. Similarly, the time has arrived for the KIRA project to embark on the next stage of its maturity. In our preceding articles, we outlined a fresh trajectory for the project and revealed the launch of "ChaosNet", a fully featured network that allows anyone to explore and assess the scale and direction of KIRA. Ensuring a fair distribution of its native staking token is crucial for the project's lo...

This is the eighth article in a series about KIRA Improvement Proposals (KIPs) 71-87. The first three sets covered staking incentives, network governance, and staking economics. This is the first article of the fourth set, starting with the implementation of metafinality within INTERX, KIRA’s middleware layer.
KIRA is built for a cross-chain world, and is designed to be hypermodular. This means all its internal components must be interoperable and also work seamlessly with external networks, both modular and monolithic. To achieve this, KIRA must be able to observe the state of truth within other networks at any time. INTERX, KIRA’s middleware layer, addresses this through its implementation of metafinality, initially described by our founder Asmodat in this article.
KIPs 77 and 79 propose implementing API Gateways to observe the Ethereum and Bitcoin networks, query their states, and propagate transactions. These KIPs lay the groundwork for future Ethereum and Bitcoin bridges, enabling INTERX to function as middleware and the Content Availability layer on KIRA.
As Asmodat writes, the implications of metafinality go far beyond simple bridging. They allow applications to observe and communicate with millions of other applications across any ecosystem by establishing consensus on the state of a single blockchain - KIRA. Our goal is to create a world where monolithic and modular architectures converge to enable hyper-performant applications that can compete with Web2.
Stay tuned for the next article, which will discuss INTERX in more detail.
