🧵 XRPL EVM May recap ⚡

May was a busy month for XRPL EVM.

Lower fees, a new wallet, early use cases, and several important improvements on the way.

Quick recap 👇

💸 Much lower fees

Proposal #29 passed with 100% approval from 18 validators. A simple transaction now costs only 0.000016 XRP, matching the cost of XRPL mainnet.

This is a big step for: ⚡ Micropayments, 🧩 Smart contracts, ⏱ Fast-finality apps, 🌱 Real-world use cases with ripple:native

👛 New wallet for XRPL + XRPL EVM
A new unified wallet is now available at:

https://t.co/N2t9wiZ0QC
The goal is simple: manage XRPL and XRPL EVM from one interface using @MetaMask .

Signatures are automatically routed depending on the action, making the experience much smoother.

It also integrates XR Bridge, powered by @axelar, to move assets from Ethereum and other EVMs into XRPL EVM.

🗺 What’s next?

💸 A micropayments app as the first demo of low fees + programmability

🔗 Longer IBC channel bonding time for more stability

🛠 Fund recovery from the Elys Network shutdown through governance

👛 More wallet improvements, including custodian deposits and more EVM assets

XRPL EVM by @Peersyst is moving into a more practical phase, with better infrastructure, better UX, and more reasons for builders to start experimenting on the network.

At Cumulo, we keep supporting the network as validators and following closely what comes next ⚡

🚀 New article by Cumulo is live!

Bitcoin apps are growing, but liquidity is still fragmented across multiple chains.

In our latest Medium article, we recap the live workshop with @AvailProject, featuring @mayurrelekar from Avail and @yilmaz_btc from @citrea_xyz, focused on how Avail Nexus helps Bitcoin apps access cross-chain liquidity in a much smoother way.

Main points covered 👇

🔹 Why liquidity fragmentation is a major UX problem for Bitcoin apps

🔹 How Avail Nexus enables N-to-1 cross-chain liquidity aggregation

🔹 The live demo with Mystic Finance on Citrea

🔹 How users can deposit into Bitcoin L2 apps without manual bridging

🔹 Why this matters for developers building better onboarding flows

Avail Nexus shows how complex cross-chain actions can be abstracted into a simple user experience, helping Bitcoin apps become more accessible, composable and ready for real adoption.

🌐 Cumulo Live Peers: from static peer lists to real-time peer lists

Cumulo Live Peers for @celestia is a live peer checker for Celestia mainnet and Mocha testnet, designed to help validators and infrastructure teams find peers that are actually reachable and useful right now.

When a node starts having connectivity issues, a static list is often not enough.

What operators need in that moment is simple: peers that are reachable from the outside, stable over time, and ready to use.

Cumulo Live Peers checks peer availability every 30 minutes and builds updated lists using multiple sources:

🔎 Our own Celestia nodes

🌐 RPC endpoints from validators in the ecosystem

📚 Addrbooks and public peer lists

🤝 Peers contributed directly by operators

Each candidate peer is tested through a direct TCP check against its P2P port.

If a peer is not reachable from the outside, it does not make it into the published list.

We also avoid publishing peers just because they appeared once. To be included, a peer needs to show consistent stability across several observation cycles.

The goal is not to publish the biggest possible peer list.

The goal is to publish a useful one.

Peers are scored based on:

✅ Recent stability

✅ Outbound activity

✅ Confirmation from independent sources

✅ Geographic diversity

You can use the live peer lists here:

Mainnet:
https://t.co/AZWUUL7LWm
Mocha testnet:
https://t.co/eIUGLcyfLR

Full technical documentation:
https://t.co/a3iPVpxnd6

We also maintain validator resource lists for Celestia mainnet and Mocha, so validators can contribute RPCs, addrbooks and peers via PR.

The more validators contribute, the better the system becomes for everyone.

We shared the full explanation on the Celestia Forum 👇
https://t.co/Sl22jWujBf

This is part of how we approach our role as @celestia validators at Cumulo: building tools that reflect our vision of solid, transparent and reliable infrastructure, while adding real technical value to the networks we support.🌌

[Cumulo @Cumulo_pro]

Validator resource lists 🤝

To make the external sources more useful, we also maintain public validator resource lists for Cosmos Hub mainnet and testnet.

These include:
🔗 RPCs 📚 addrbooks 📡 contributed peers

The more validators contribute their resources, the better the scoring becomes for everyone.

Why?
Because the system can compare more independent sources and build a more representative view of the network.

If you are a @cosmoshub validator and want to add your resources, you can open a PR here:

Mainnet validators: https://t.co/b7iennMesJ

Testnet validators: https://t.co/jOiOm187Ds

[Cumulo @Cumulo_pro]

TL;DR 👇
Static peer lists get outdated fast. Cumulo Live Peers keeps checking which Cosmos Hub peers are reachable, stable and useful for node operators.

When you run a @cosmoshub node and connectivity starts failing, a static peer list is often not enough.

What you need in that moment is simple: peers that are actually reachable from the outside right now. Not peers that were visible from one node a few days ago.

That is why we built Cumulo Live Peers 🌐

A live peer checker for @cosmos Hub mainnet and testnet, updated every 30 minutes and available through both a public dashboard and API.

The idea is simple:

🔎 keep checking which peers are really reachable
🧹 filter out unstable ones
🛠️ give node operators a list they can actually use

How it works ⚙️
Every cycle, Cumulo Live Peers builds a candidate pool from several sources:

🟢 Our own Cosmos Hub node
🟢 RPC endpoints from validators in the ecosystem
🟢 Addrbooks and peer lists collected from validator resources
🟢 Peers contributed directly by operators

Then we test each candidate with a direct TCP check against its P2P port.

If a peer is not reachable from the outside, it does not make it into the published list.

Simple rule:
✅ reachable peers stay in the process
❌ unreachable peers are filtered out

Not just “more peers” 📡

The goal is not to publish the biggest possible list.
The goal is to publish a useful one.

Peers are scored based on recent stability, outbound activity, how many independent sources confirmed the same peer, geographic diversity.

This helps avoid lists full of random peers that may not help much in practice, especially when an operator is trying to recover connectivity quickly.

Ready to use 🚀

You can use the live peer lists here:

Mainnet:
https://t.co/FmDdqkNZyI

Testnet:
https://t.co/qMqJtmmGKc

Full technical documentation:
https://t.co/a3iPVpxnd6

At Cumulo, we run validator infrastructure across Cosmos and modular networks.

Cumulo Live Peers is our attempt to make that part of node operations a little more practical:

🔍 live checks
📖 public data
⚙️ reproducible logic
♻️ a list that keeps updating without manual maintenance

We hope this is useful for Cosmos Hub validators, node operators and teams running infrastructure.

Feedback, suggestions and validator contributions are very welcome 🤝

Cumulo will be concluding validator operations on @StoryProtocol following the SIP-011 active set consolidation process.

We want to thank the Story team for the opportunity to contribute as validators, from testnet operations to mainnet infrastructure.

For our delegators: please redelegate or unstake your $IP as soon as possible.

We will keep our node running during the notice period and until delegations are cleared.

Although our validator operations and all the tools & service pages we developed for the protocol are coming to an end, Cumulo will continue building and operating strong and professional infrastructure across multiple networks.

Thank you to everyone who supported us during this journey.

Who says there's not much going on?!! 👩‍🔧🧑‍🔧

🚀 Cumulo weekly validator & infrastructure report: May 15–23

Over the last week, our team executed validator operations, upgrades, governance actions, and incident-aware infrastructure work across multiple networks, check what we did? 👀👇

☕ @EspressoSys / Mainnet: upgraded our mainnet node to 20260424, applying query and pruning optimizations and verifying healthy peer connectivity and consensus progression

📖 @StoryProtocol / Aeneid testnet: upgraded our validator to Story v1.7.0 (Seneca) ahead of the scheduled hardfork, with full sync and post-upgrade consensus validation

🛡️ @cosmoshub: voted NO WITH VETO on Prop #1037, a spam/scam proposal with no legitimate onchain purpose

🟣 @massachain / Mainnet: executed the mandatory MAIN.5.0 hard fork upgrade and rejoined the corrected network after the illegal minting fix

🔷 @GenLayer / Asimov: upgraded our validator to v0.5.11

💠 XRPL EVM by @Peersyst / Mainnet: voted YES on Prop #31 to recover expired IBC light clients for Injective and Elys

🟠 @cosmoshub Hub / Mainnet: executed the Gaia v27.3.0 upgrade at the scheduled height, covering validator, RPC, and backup infrastructure with post-upgrade verification

🔷 @GenLayer / Bradbury: upgraded our validator to v0.5.11

🐒 @monad / Testnet: upgraded our full node to v0.14.4 following the release window and verified full operational status

At Cumulo, validator operations are handled as production infrastructure work: upgrade readiness, governance monitoring, incident response, controlled execution, and post-upgrade verification across live environments.

That is also why we maintain our Activity Tracker: a public, JSON-backed operational log where we document upgrades, governance votes, incidents, and infrastructure actions in a transparent and auditable format.

🌐 Tokenization is moving from narrative to real institutional infrastructure.

In our latest article, we analyze the Beyond Cosmoverse conversation with Anina Milanović from the World Bank, and what it means for @cosmos, capital markets and the future of regulated digital assets.

The key idea is clear:

Tokenization is not here to replace traditional capital markets.
It is here to upgrade them.

In the article, we cover:

🔹 How Serbia built one of the earliest digital asset regulatory frameworks before MiCA

🔹 Why stablecoins pushed traditional finance to take blockchain infrastructure seriously

🔹 The three institutional requirements for tokenized assets: legal certainty, trusted infrastructure and secondary liquidity

🔹 Why emerging markets may have a unique opportunity to move faster

🔹 How Cosmos-IBC architecture, sovereignty and interoperability fits naturally into this new financial landscape

For the @cosmos community, this conversation matters.

If regulated financial assets start moving across digital infrastructure, networks like Cosmos can play a key role in making those assets interoperable, auditable and usable across jurisdictions.

At Cumulo, we are validators in @cosmoshub and we believe this is exactly the type of long-term infrastructure narrative that matters for the ecosystem.

🌌 New tool by Cumulo for the @celestia ecosystem: CIP Tracker

We’ve built a complete Celestia Improvement Proposals dashboard, integrated into Cumulo’s Celestia services page.

The CIP Tracker is designed to make it easier for teams, devs, validators and the broader community to follow how Celestia evolves at the protocol level: from proposals already live on mainnet to those currently under review or being discussed for upcoming upgrades.

What the tool does:

🔹 Tracks 49 CIPs from the official Celestia Improvement Proposals repository

🔹 Provides a clear overview of proposal status: Final, In Review and Draft

🔹 Shows a visual timeline of network upgrades, from Lemongrass v2 to the upcoming v8

🔹 Groups CIPs by upgrade, helping users understand which changes are already live and which are still in progress

🔹 Adds semantic search, so users can look for concepts like “validator commission”, “token burn” or “block time” and discover related CIPs

🔹 Includes a changelog with recent repository updates, distinguishing between new CIPs and updated ones

🔹 Gives each CIP its own shareable URL with Discord and Telegram previews

🔹 Syncs data from the official celestiaorg/CIPs GitHub repository, with 6h cache and local fallback to improve availability

This is intended to be a living tool: as new CIPs are added, updated, reviewed or included in future network upgrades, the tracker will continue evolving with the Celestia protocol itself.

Cumulo, as Celestia validators, we’ve been supporting the network since the early stages of its testnet, and we’ll keep building public infrastructure to make protocol evolution easier to follow, understand and use.
