# Pelagos Monthly Update By [Pelagos](https://paragraph.com/@pelagos) · 2025-07-31 --- _Our first comprehensive update on progress, partnerships, and what's coming next_ We're excited to share our first public update on what Pelagos has been building. From our live devnet to major partnerships and a growing community, here's everything you need to know about our journey toward seamless cross-chain execution. What is Pelagos? ---------------- Pelagos is an atomic cross-chain execution fabric and liquidity layer that's solving one of crypto's biggest problems: fragmented liquidity across multiple blockchains. Here's how it works: a user or smart contract signs just once on any connected chain, our network simulates the complete multi-chain route, and then validators co-sign the transactions on every target network. The result? Seamless access to a unified pool of liquidity spread across Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and more.. without manual bridges or network switching. Devnet Goes Live: Sub-Second Cross-Chain Settlement --------------------------------------------------- Pelagos is now live on devnet and working toward its first steps on public testnet. We're enabling real value movement across multiple chains in under a second, attracting builders who need exactly that capability. What started as lengthy research has evolved into a network with: * **Sub-second atomic settlement** * **Dual-slashed security** * **Encrypted execution lane** These features work together to remove latency, bridge risk, and operational friction from cross-chain products. Major Partnerships Taking Shape ------------------------------- ### Avail: Fusing Data Availability with Atomic Execution We're partnering with Avail to combine their data-availability and sequencing capabilities with Pelagos' atomic execution layer. Together, we're building: 1. **Low-latency institutional appchain framework**: Avail DA + sequencer + Pelagos chains for instant, compliant settlement 2. **Rust order-matching engine appchain**: Direct communication with Base, letting dApps route and fill orders crosschain without bridges 3. **Additional security layer**: Avail DA as backup security for Pelagos bundles, providing verifiable data anchoring One collaboration, three concrete builds - all aimed at making crosschain trading and settlement faster and safer. What We're Building: The Vault Product -------------------------------------- Our flagship product is an autonomous Vault built on its own Pelagos app-chain that taps liquidity across numerous chains. Here's how it works: * Users deposit once into the Vault * Our off-chain engine scrapes pool data and runs machine-learning models * The system simulates gas and slippage costs * A single Pelagos batch can close, open, or resize positions across every chain * Each batch is verified and committed only if expected net yield clears pre-set thresholds * A gas vault handles costs so depositors never need to juggle native tokens Positions, yields, and limits are written on-chain in real-time, with profits auto-compounding. It's a cross-chain yield product that aims to beat top-quartile market baselines, all enforced atomically and visible on-chain within seconds. Technical Progress: What We've Shipped -------------------------------------- ### Core Development Milestones ✅ **SDK Connected to Consensus Layer** - Appchains can now securely interact with the underlying consensus mechanism ✅ **Inter-Appchain Communication Architecture** - Foundation for cross-appchain functionality is complete ✅ **Basic SDK Metrics** - Validators have visibility into key performance metrics ✅ **Block and Receipt Access** - Appchains can fetch and interpret blockchain data for advanced logic ✅ **TSS Protocol Migration** - Threshold signature functionality now runs as a separate appchain ✅ **New Modular Architecture** - Recent redesign delivers improved stability and scalability ✅ **Protocol Testing Complete** - Core communication between SDK and consensus layer validated ### Research and Development We've been deep in research with Avail on: * Using AvailDA as a sequencer for lowest-latency cases * Bidirectional transaction sharing between Pelagos and Nexus * Orchestrating async operations on Avail with sync operations on Pelagos What's Coming Next ------------------ ### Core Development Roadmap **Stabilized Testnet Environment** - More reliable infrastructure for consistent development and testing **Monitoring & Logging System** - Real-time insights and debugging capabilities for validators **Automated Appchain Deployment** - Streamlined process for launching appchains on testnet **Expanded Interoperability** - Integration with Sepolia and Mumbai testnets **Validator Epoch Rotation** - Supporting decentralized validator dynamics **Inter-Appchain External Transactions** - Seamless transaction flow between appchains ### Client Development Pipeline * Basic Account Abstraction applications scalable for user implementations * Continued Avail partnership development and architecture work * Default Solidity Appchain examples * Enhanced Vault product with APY calculations and real data transactions Testnet Partners Lined Up ------------------------- We have dApps ready for public testnet launch over the coming months. Use cases include: * **Cross-chain perpetuals** * **Truly multichain execution layers** * **Cross-chain flash loans** * **Arbitrage bundles** **finalizing in under half a second** Our goal is to test the system with these partners and collaboratively develop new use cases. Community Growth and Engagement ------------------------------- Our community is growing rapidly: * **500+ Discord members** * **300+ X (former Twitter) followers** * **5 potential validators** expressing interest in running nodes * **Rising engagement** from individuals interested in contributing We've published our [first article](https://mirror.xyz/pelagosnetwork.eth/MOieof39E6cOrwQ8bMdOebbcVQtGDLVs2qfeBeb4ucA) introducing Pelagos to the public and showcasing the various solutions possible on our network. We're actively working to increase awareness and bring more participants to the upcoming testnet. Why This Matters ---------------- Liquidity fragmentation across chains forces serious money to stick with centralized trading desks, while every bridge risks leaving trades half-finished. Pelagos eliminates this friction by confirming or canceling entire multi-chain routes in under a second. This means a six-leg trade across Base, Solana, and a private shard is either completely locked in or never executes, no partial failures. With this certainty, you can run: * **Global flash loans** * **Cross-venue perpetual hedging** * **Gaming apps with cross-chain jackpot payments** * **Experiences that simply don't work anywhere else** Every time these flows execute, Pelagos takes a fee, turning a structural market pain point into our revenue stream. Our Incredible Backers ---------------------- We want to express sincere gratitude to our pre-seed investors and supporters who stepped up first, giving Pelagos both runway and legitimacy: Anurag Arjun (Avail), cp287 (cp0x), Deniz (Lumia), Dillon (Dia), Igor Mandrygin (Gateway FM), Itreasury.io, James Ikeguchi (Amua), Jia Yung, Junger (Rise Labs), Krum Pashov (Pashov audit group), Luka (Daedalus Ventures), Matthias Ang (SSV Labs), Nakameowdough, Nemo (Daedalus Ventures), Paolo Rebuffo (Erigon), Seliqui, Valentin (Daedalus Ventures), Vasiliy Shapovalov (Cyber Fund), Venky (Metrom), Victor (Across), and others. Thank you for believing early. We intend to reward that belief with relentless shipping and transparent reporting. Thank you --------- Thank you all for supporting us before all the pieces fully fit together. We now have real capital, real partners, working code, and a rapidly scaling community. _We keep shipping, we keep building_ * * * _Want to partner with us?_ -------------------------- _If you're a developer interested in building on Pelagos or a potential validator, we'd love to hear from you._ > Check our [partnership deck](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rID4k1mscBXYtsClstXEWCe8OaIJ-KEo/view) or fill out our [BD form](https://tally.so/r/mJvVk7) ### **_Join our community_** * _Visit our_ [_Website_](https://pelagos.network/) * _Join our Discord_ * _Follow us on X_ * _Email:_ [_contact@pelagos.network_](https://contact@pelagos.network) --- *Originally published on [Pelagos](https://paragraph.com/@pelagos/pelagos-monthly-update)*
