# Pelagos Monthly Update **Published by:** [Pelagos](https://paragraph.com/@pelagos/) **Published on:** 2025-07-31 **URL:** https://paragraph.com/@pelagos/pelagos-monthly-update ## Content 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 SettlementPelagos 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 settlementDual-slashed securityEncrypted execution laneThese features work together to remove latency, bridge risk, and operational friction from cross-chain products.Major Partnerships Taking ShapeAvail: Fusing Data Availability with Atomic ExecutionWe're partnering with Avail to combine their data-availability and sequencing capabilities with Pelagos' atomic execution layer. Together, we're building:Low-latency institutional appchain framework: Avail DA + sequencer + Pelagos chains for instant, compliant settlementRust order-matching engine appchain: Direct communication with Base, letting dApps route and fill orders crosschain without bridgesAdditional security layer: Avail DA as backup security for Pelagos bundles, providing verifiable data anchoringOne collaboration, three concrete builds - all aimed at making crosschain trading and settlement faster and safer.What We're Building: The Vault ProductOur 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 VaultOur off-chain engine scrapes pool data and runs machine-learning modelsThe system simulates gas and slippage costsA single Pelagos batch can close, open, or resize positions across every chainEach batch is verified and committed only if expected net yield clears pre-set thresholdsA gas vault handles costs so depositors never need to juggle native tokensPositions, 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 ShippedCore 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 validatedResearch and DevelopmentWe've been deep in research with Avail on:Using AvailDA as a sequencer for lowest-latency casesBidirectional transaction sharing between Pelagos and NexusOrchestrating async operations on Avail with sync operations on PelagosWhat's Coming NextCore Development RoadmapStabilized 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 appchainsClient Development PipelineBasic Account Abstraction applications scalable for user implementationsContinued Avail partnership development and architecture workDefault Solidity Appchain examplesEnhanced Vault product with APY calculations and real data transactionsTestnet Partners Lined UpWe have dApps ready for public testnet launch over the coming months. Use cases include:Cross-chain perpetualsTruly multichain execution layersCross-chain flash loansArbitrage bundles finalizing in under half a secondOur goal is to test the system with these partners and collaboratively develop new use cases.Community Growth and EngagementOur community is growing rapidly:500+ Discord members300+ X (former Twitter) followers5 potential validators expressing interest in running nodesRising engagement from individuals interested in contributingWe've published our first article 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 MattersLiquidity 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 loansCross-venue perpetual hedgingGaming apps with cross-chain jackpot paymentsExperiences that simply don't work anywhere elseEvery time these flows execute, Pelagos takes a fee, turning a structural market pain point into our revenue stream.Our Incredible BackersWe 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 youThank 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 buildingWant 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 or fill out our BD formJoin our communityVisit our WebsiteJoin our DiscordFollow us on XEmail: contact@pelagos.network ## Publication Information - [Pelagos](https://paragraph.com/@pelagos/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@pelagos/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@pelagos): Subscribe to updates - [Twitter](https://twitter.com/PelagosNetwork): Follow on Twitter
