Inadequate tooling infrastructures and the nascency of DeFi in terms of interoperability and achieving maximized yield, adopting a cross-chain approach has existed in theory but not in practice. By leveraging Cubic, Instrumental is able to break through these barriers and begin to offer such strategy optimization. Instrumental will use Cubic’s vault infrastructure to efficiently aggregate pooled funds before allocating them based on the best possible APYs across different chains as a cross-chain strategy hub. Hence, Cubic will be a crucial piece of Instrumental’s ability to facilitate cross-chain yield optimization for LPs.

Cubic is the first vault pallet in the DotSama ecosystem, developed by Picasso — the cross-chain hub and is thus part of the core infrastructure of Composable Finance. While Vaults are already commonly used primitives in Ethereum, DotSama, currently leading the charge for cross-chain capabilities in DeFi does not currently have this core tooling infrastructure save for Cubic. Thus, Cubic sets the standard for what vaults will be in the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems. It essentially allows the creation of strategies by pool aggregation that further enables complex operations and deliver advanced functionality to the Composable ecosystem through cross-chain investing.

As a vault primitive, Cubic will serve the specific function of acting as an infrastructure where users can store and receive tokens that can be used as collateral. Cubic will also combine and aggregate user funds reducing costs in terms of gas fees. Essentially, Picasso ecosystem users will be able to deposit funds into vaults created through Cubic’s vaults pallet. These funds will be routed to various strategies (pallets, interoperable smart contract platforms in DotSama and CeFi platforms) from a number of ecosystems, including Polkadot, its canary network Kusama, Ethereum, and Cosmos. Hence Cubic will provide three broad functionalities, including deposit and withdrawal management, Governance and LP token share management across chains. In the future, when the infrastructure is utilized, vaults can function as pools of funds where the staked assets can be put towards a particular strategy to earn yield.

Today, cross-layer Liquidity Provisioning (LPing) lacks the necessary tooling and intuitive user experiences for optimized yields. For instance, transferring assets (LP-native tokens) from one L2 protocol to another, such as from Uniswap on Arbitrum to Optimism’s DEX, will be a complicated process costing huge fees and time, a necessary ingredient needed to capitalize on profitable yield opportunities. Instrumental already positions itself as a vital cross-chain strategy hub on Picasso designed to facilitate the development and thriving of innovative cross-chain protocols. Itself is a cross-chain yield optimizer enabling the cross-chain capabilities for primitives. To enable seamless cross-chain yield-optimized strategies for LPs and protocols leveraging Instrumental, Instrumental pivotally taps into Mosaic, a pallet on Picasso that functions as a transfer availability layer and liquidity router to DeFi bridges. This allows Instrumental to offer the cross-layer transfer of assets such as LP positions to maximize yield and eventually cross-layer asset swaps, automated position management strategies, and more.

By infusing Cubic’s vault capabilities, new possibilities are being introduced into the standard for cross-chain vault infrastructure and cross-layer and cross-chain yield optimization within the DotSama ecosystem. Instrumental will leverage this vault infrastructure in order to provide the optimization of cross-chain yield strategies. Instrumental users will be able to deposit, store, and withdraw their funds in a vault powered by Cubic. Cubic’s routing capabilities will help Instrumental move these funds to various strategies across different ecosystems, as Instrumental assesses which APY will bring the highest yield. Thus, Cubic plays a critical role in Instrumental’s ability to access yield optimization opportunities for LPs. The Cubic vault will become a key part of Instrumental’s vault strategies and infrastructure.

Ultimately, with Picasso’s connection to Cosmos’s IBC through their Centauri bridge, Instrumental is enabled to provide yield strategies from the Cosmos ecosystem to users from EVM and DotSama chains. Synergizing Cubic with Centauri creates a unified connection between vaults in the Cosmos and DotSama ecosystems. In addition to allowing users from DotSama to tap into yield generated in the Cosmos ecosystem, Instrumental is also able to bootstrap liquidity for multi-variant vault protocols like Quasar that allows users to run self-governed vault-based investment strategies in the Cosmos ecosystem.

Instrumental is betting on a cross-chain future. Thanks to a cross-chain hub like Picasso with vault primitives like Cubic integrated directly into its runtime, Instrumental can natively facilitate strategies optimization for LPs to achieve the best yields across chain and layers without the regular hassle of having to switch positions. The Instrumental vault strategies open up an extensive range of opportunities for LPs to maximize yield, revolutionizing the nature of liquidity provisioning in DeFi. We believe that Cubic already sets a standard for other vault primitives in the DotSama ecosystem and will evolve to become the core infrastructure for projects and other primitives leveraging vaults for strategies and yield generation.

Thankfully, CryptoPiece’s roadmap still sticks to the roadmap that we set out earlier in 2021. As for the year of more ambition and responsibilities 2022, according to Mr Khoa Nguyen, the team will put a focus on 03 key pillars:

The first and third points are inextricably intertwined as we believe that the more established our GameFi world is, the more values there will be added to the token. Heading towards 2022, we set eyes on solidifying our footprints, bit by bit weaving a sustainable ecosystem that centralizes around $BELLY.

In Q1–2022, our ambition is to introduce a more expansive concept of Crypto Piece, the so-called Crypto Piece-verse. It starts with renewing the art style and upgrading features for the current game.

A series of AMA is coming up soon in Jan and Feb 2022, which you should not skip since there will be more updates regarding Crypto Piece “metaverse” in the making. So, enjoy your holiday yet keep a close eye on our latest news, mates!

Let’s discuss the difference between symmetric and asymmetric key cryptography. Symmetric key cryptography uses one key for both encryption and decryption. Asymmetric key cryptography, also known as public key cryptography, uses two keys, one for each operation. Think about it as a lock on your front door. If you can both lock and unlock your door using the same house key, that is akin to symmetrical cryptography. If you needed to use one key to lock the door and another key to unlock the door, that would be comparable to asymmetric cryptography.

In asymmetric cryptography, two different keys are used, the public key and the private key. As is probably obvious from the name, the public key can be ‘public,’ and can be shared freely.

Going back to the front door example, if the key to your front door was made public but only allowed for the locking of the door, you wouldn’t need to concern yourself with theft; the key that unlocked the door could be kept private. This is similar to how asymmetric key cryptography works. The public key can be shared without being a security risk because that key doesn’t open the door.

In Bitcoin, your private key must be kept secret because it effectively unlocks the door to access your bitcoin.

One crucial part of public-private key pairs is that the public key can be derived from the private key. This means that if you know the private key you are able to figure out the public key. However, the reverse is not true; the private key cannot be derived from the public key. If you have a public key but no private key, you’d be unable to access the private information.

Let’s compare this to the front door example. You could use the (private) key that unlocks your front door to retrieve the (public) key that locks the door. So basically, the private key can lock and then unlock the front door. On the other hand, the public key can lock the front door, but there is no way to use this public key to unlock the door.

With bitcoin, this matters because it means anyone can have access to your public key, which is perfectly okay. The public key is used to find the bitcoin address where bitcoin is sent. But remember, knowing a public key and bitcoin address doesn’t allow access to received bitcoin. This would be like the public house key having the home address written on it, and it not being a security risk because this information won’t unlock the front door. Taking this analogy a step further, having a home address allows mail to be delivered through a slot in the front door, in the same way, having a bitcoin address allows bitcoin to be received. And just as the mail, once put through the mail drop, can no longer be accessed, once bitcoin has been received, the public key can’t access it.

Note: This front door private-public key example is an imperfect analogy, however it does provide a relatable comparison to help understand the basics of how asymmetric cryptography works.
