In October we shipped epoch-based consensus with validator rotation on testnet, hardened resilience via cluster-level chaos testing, enabled end-to-end cross-chain flows with a Solana (SVM) read/send path, began Avail integration testing for lower latency, implemented a minimal signer service for EVM/SVM, and launched a private Kubernetes testnet linked to Sepolia, Polygon Amoy, BSC testnet, and Solana devnet, hitting ~170 ms median block time and ~600 ms median external-block processing latency.
In November, we’re shipping a local-to-prod block explorer, standing up a TSS appchain to remove single-signer bottlenecks, use the Pelagos AI yield-farming appchain on real workloads to validate end-to-end execution, releasing Avail DA integration for minimal-latency appchains with centralized sequencing + DA, and polishing DevUX (templates, CLI, clearer errors, docs/tutorials) to take teams from zero to first appchain fast.
Multiple dApps are already testing the atomic flows.
LIQ Markets: atomic cross-chain DEX aggregator sourcing via OpenOcean;
Predicted: event-query dashboard + oracle-style resolutions propagated cross-network;
LayerCover: insurance coverage appchain.
Twitter grew ~30% (1000+ → 1300+). Discord grew ~15% (1500+ → 1,700+). Created a YouTube channel. Nicky has been interviewed by the Mpost and has been a guest at Indexing Co’s latest podcast. We also made and shared demos of the dApps building on Pelagos, such as Liq Markets, LayerCover and Predicted. Nicky’s speech at ETH Istanbul also came out.
In October, Konstantin Kalinovsky joined as Frontend Engineer (11+ years; blockchain integrations, wallets, DeFi UX), leading frontend architecture, component system, and performance hardening.
Epoch-based consensus/validator rotation: Completed and running in testnet.
Chaos and stability testing: Ran cluster-level chaos experiments emulating full/partial network loss and unexpected node crashes with subsequent automated recovery; validated stability characteristics.
Solana integration: Implemented read and send transaction flows (SVM).
External transaction flow: Working end-to-end submission from appchains to external chains via the cluster.
We are testing our integration with Avail, which allows us to reach minimized latency for our appchains.
Minimal signer service: Implemented for EVM and SVM paths to sign and submit external transactions in testnet.
Private testnet launch: Deployed in a Kubernetes cluster (internal access) that connected to sepolia, amoy, bsc testnet, solana devnet. Foundation for appchain testing and cross-chain flows.
Median block time: ~170 ms.
Median external block processing latency: ~600 ms (from node receiving an external block to the block being processed on the appchain).
Ship a block explorer that runs in local development and for deployed appchains, providing consistent transparency and debugging/observability from laptop to production.
Stand up a threshold-signing appchain integrated into the transaction flow to remove single-signer bottlenecks and improve security and liveness for cross-chain operations.
Run the Pelagos AI yield-farming appchain end-to-end on the private testnet—execute real cross-chain strategies and messaging, let live workloads surface bottlenecks, and turn those findings into concrete UX, reliability, and operational improvements.
Release Avail data-availability integration so appchains that need minimal latency can leverage a centralized sequencer while simultaneously benefiting from DA and seamless access to multichain infrastructure.
Streamline the developer journey from zero to first appchain with templates, CLI ergonomics, clearer errors, and focused docs/tutorials so teams can ship faster with predictable local-to-cluster workflows.
Multiple dApps have already shipped and extended novel functionality on Pelagos in preparations for permissioned testnet.
LIQ Markets: https://testnet.liq.markets
On top of its unified order book, LIQ is implementing an atomic cross-chain DEX aggregator on Pelagos. Users can swap across chains with full atomicity; the frontend aggregates liquidity from existing DEXs via third-party aggregators (e.g., OpenOcean).
Predicted (Resolution Marketplace): https://predicted-appchain.replit.app/
Delivered an event-query dashboard that external parties can treat as a source of truth. Partners can interact with Predicted’s contract in an oracle-style pattern to resolve prediction events. While Predicted uses a simplified resolution method, building on Pelagos preserves transparency and propagates validated outcomes to any connected network that requires resolution services.
LayerCover: https://app.layercover.com/markets
Deployed a dedicated appchain on Pelagos for purchasing insurance policies. Example flow: Alice buys cover and pays USDC on Polygon; Pelagos attests and confirms the purchase on Ethereum; the appchain records that Alice bought $1,000 USDC of cover on Polygon while reserving assets on Ethereum. This enables native, cross-chain policy issuance and reserve accounting without bridges or wrapped assets.
This month, we continued with the OG campaign and are currently preparing for activations for Liq Markets and LayerCover. X following grew by ~30%, increasing the total follower number to >1300 and the Discord channel grew by ~15% bringing it total to ~1700 members.
From the PR perspective, Nicky has been interviewed by Mpost and has been a guest on the latest Indexing Co’s podcast episode. Her full speech during ETH Istanbul has been posted and can be watched here.
Considering the finalization of Liq Markets and LayerCover and before people can start using the dApps and activity campaigns around them, we released the demos to showcase some of their capabilities and advantages they gained using Pelagos:
We released an article Pelagos Atomicity vs Intents to further differentiate the two and to show why Pelagos is the better solution for dApps building cross-chain.
In October, we strengthened the team with two key hires. Konstantin Kalinovsky joins as Frontend Engineer, bringing 11+ years of experience with a focus on blockchain integrations, crypto wallets, and DeFi UX.
October delivered working fundamentals and usage: epoch-based consensus with validator rotation is live on testnet; the cluster passed chaos tests and self-recovered; Solana read/send and end-to-end external submissions are running; a minimal signer pushes EVM and SVM transactions. The private Kubernetes testnet links Sepolia, Polygon Amoy, BSC testnet, and Solana devnet, with ~170 ms median block time and ~600 ms external-block processing latency.
On top, dapps are active: LIQ Markets is adding an atomic cross-chain DEX aggregator on a unified book, Predicted published a resolution dashboard used as source of truth, and LayerCover issued native cross-chain cover without bridges or wrappers. Marketing and growth moved: OG campaign continued, X followers rose ~30% to >1,300, Discord grew ~15% to ~1,700, demo videos shipped, the “Atomicity vs Intents” article went live, and PR included an Mpost interview, Indexing Co podcast, and the ETH Istanbul talk.
Hiring added Konstantin Kalinovsky (frontend, 11+ years) to accelerate UX and delivery.
November focuses on making this production-ready and safer: a block explorer with the same experience from laptop to cluster, a TSS appchain to remove single-signer bottlenecks and improve liveness, pressure-testing real strategies by running the Pelagos AI yield-farming appchain under production-like load, the Avail DA integration for low-latency appchains using a centralized sequencer with DA, and DevUX upgrades across templates, CLI, errors, and docs so teams go from zero to first appchain quickly.
