September marked a pivotal transition for Pelagos from prototype infrastructure to a production-ready platform. Core development advances included operational node synchronization, Kubernetes-based validator deployment, and the public release of our SDK with comprehensive documentation. On the go-to-market front, multiple DeFi protocols initiated testing of atomic cross-chain transactions on our private testnet, while community growth accelerated across all channels. Operationally, we strengthened the team with a founding protocol engineer to support scaling toward mainnet launch.
Node Synchronization & Cluster Architecture
Achieved reliable node synchronization with recovery capabilities, enabling seamless addition of nodes to the validator cluster
Successfully deployed operational nodes capable of recovering from failures and maintaining continuous event creation
Established framework for running local appchain nodes independently of validator participation
Kubernetes Validator Deployment
Launched initial Kubernetes cluster infrastructure for validator operations
Implemented deployment service capable of provisioning appchains to Kubernetes environments
Completed restart and recovery testing protocols, confirming node stability and state preservation following failure scenarios
SDK Release & Developer Tooling
Published SDK v1.0 with full documentation on GitHub, establishing our public developer presence
Delivered complete local development stack including:
Local node operations
Transaction submission capabilities
External chain data integration
Comprehensive documentation and tutorials
Enabled developers to interact with Sepolia, BSC, and Polygon testnets through stable access to blocks, events, and receipts
Consensus & Cross-Chain Integration
Integrated development-ready consensus module for internal appchain logic testing
Established architecture for providing external transaction data to TSS (Threshold Signature Scheme) appchain
Deployed first-version EVM contracts to target networks
Implemented built-in RPC layer with templated APIs to streamline appchain integration
Appchain Scalability
Built and benchmarked sharded appchain prototype, validating horizontal scalability approach
Demonstrated early throughput improvements and confirmed architectural viability for multi-appchain scaling
Validated Ethereum and Solana read operations through SDK
Confirmed working integration with multiple EVM networks (Sepolia, BSC, Polygon)
Advanced Solana signing stub implementation with transaction signing and parameter optimization
Initiated research on transaction resend mechanisms for enhanced reliability
Multiple established DeFi protocols have commenced private testnet integration:
LIQ Markets — Led by experienced DeFi builders, is developing the first crosschain, cross-margin perpetual exchange on Pelagos. Key differentiators include:
Chain-Agnostic UX: One-click deposits and withdrawals across any supported chain
Unified Trading Environment: Combined perpetuals and spot trading for both blue-chip and niche assets
Private Pools: Optional trade privacy for institutional-grade execution
Programmable Vaults: Flexible collateral management across chains
CLOB Architecture: Central limit order book with price-time priority and millisecond cancel/replace functionality
Resulting User Experience:
Sub-second order acceptance (no waiting for limit fills)
True cross-chain cross-margin (eliminates chain-specific collateral requirements)
Unified liquidity access without bridges or wrapped assets
Additional Protocol Integrations:
Lendle (Lending Protocol): Testing atomic cross-chain collateral and liquidation flows
Robinos (DeFi Infrastructure): Validating multi-chain transaction coordination
LayerBank (Money Markets): Exploring unified liquidity layer integration
Twitter/X Growth: +50% (500+ → 1,000+ followers)
Discord Growth: +20% (1,300+ → 1,500+ members)
Engagement Quality: Increased technical discussion participation and builder inquiries
**Builder's Spaces Launch **
Inaugurated monthly AMA series spotlighting ecosystem builders. Initial session featured Bruce from LIQ Markets, providing technical deep-dive on crosschain perpetuals architecture.
Content & Thought Leadership
Published detailed article on LIQ Markets' functionality and Pelagos integration benefits
Participated in Cicada MM's Twitter Space discussing market-making in cross-chain environments
Event Participation
ETH Istanbul (September 5-7): Speaking engagement on atomic settlements <1s (Nicky, Neb, Boris/Evgenii)
Token 2049 Singapore: Attending for partnership development and investor relations (Nicky attending Hack Seasons panel and Simpleswap events as a panelist)
Developer Documentation
Released comprehensive roadmap outlining quarterly milestones through mainnet
Published documentation of first transaction execution (no manual intervention required)
Krishna Prasad — Founding Protocol Engineer. Former Polygon core team member who led Erigon-Polygon (PoS) integration. Krishna brings deep expertise in:
Layer 1 protocol architecture
External blockchain adapter development
Validator operations and infrastructure
Current Focus Areas:
Partner integration support (actively assisting LIQ Markets deployment)
TSS (Threshold Signature Scheme) implementation
External chain adapter development
Validator operational procedures
UX Developer (Starting October) Incoming team member will focus on:
Developer tooling interface improvements
SDK usability enhancements
Documentation and tutorial development
Infrastructure Hardening
Fail-safety and recovery stress testing under load conditions
Validator activity tracking and monitoring systems
Block explorer deployment for transparency and debugging
Developer Experience
Continued SDK refinement based on early partner feedback
Expanded language support and example applications
Cross-Chain Capabilities
Epoch-based consensus implementation for validator rotation
Completion of external transaction submission from appchains to external blockchains via cluster
Integration of additional blockchain networks
Team Growth
Onboarding of frontend developer
Recruitment of additional blockchain engineer
Testnet Launch
Public testnet deployment with initial cohort of appchains, enabling:
External developer testing and feedback collection
Real-world performance validation
Community engagement and builder recruitment
September represented a significant maturation point for Pelagos, transitioning from infrastructure development to enabling real-world applications. The SDK release, combined with active protocol integrations and strengthened team capabilities, positions us well for Q4 testnet launch and subsequent mainnet preparation.
Our focus remains on delivering production-grade infrastructure that eliminates the complexity of cross-chain development, enabling builders to focus on application logic rather than blockchain interoperability challenges. The progress demonstrated by early partners like LIQ Markets validates our core thesis: atomic cross-chain execution unlocks entirely new categories of decentralized applications.
As we advance toward testnet launch, priorities center on infrastructure resilience, developer experience refinement, and strategic partnership development to build a robust ecosystem of applications leveraging Pelagos' universal execution layer.
If you're a developer interested in building on Pelagos or a potential validator, we'd love to hear from you.
