We are starting to see the first on-chain signs of Fusion Rollup activity on Ethereum mainnet.

This is not about a demo UI.

This is about real Ethereum mainnet contracts, real transactions and real token balances.

#Overledger #QuantNetwork #Fusion

[Gilbert Verdian @gverdian]

Today we go live on mainnet with the Fusion Rollup, the world's first multi-ledger rollup, connecting 74 blockchain networks in one unified environment, built for institutions.

When I started @quantnetwork in 2015, the vision was simple: make blockchain work for institutions at scale across any network, without the complexity and fragmentation that's held the industry back.

For years, institutions had two bad options: bet everything on a single chain, or stitch together insecure bridges across many. Fusion refuses that trade-off. It connects to many networks at once, moving assets, settling transactions, and messaging across chains as built-in capabilities, not workarounds.

The breakthrough is unified assets. A example of a stablecoin like USDC or tokenised fund like BUIDL or any other digital assetspread across 7 chains collapses into one: uUSDC or uBUIDL. One asset, one liquidity pool, instead of 7 copies and 7 fragmented pools. Each stays anchored to its origin chain and is withdrawable anytime. No custody or compliance trade-offs.

This isn't another layer 2 or a blockchain. It's a new category of infrastructure and it's live.

Banks are piloting #tokeniseddeposits and #programmablemoney, but the real question for tech vendors is how do you future-proof your platform across multiple #blockchains? The answer: blockchain-agnostic infrastructure. https://t.co/KHIswtCNA4

[Quant Fusion Layer 2.5 @FusionLayer25]

Unified assets across chains. A token issued once in Fusion is recognised natively on every connected ledger - no wrapped representations, no synthetic derivatives, no custodial bridges.

#QuantFusion

[Quant Fusion Layer 2.5 @FusionLayer25]

Horizontal scalability. Fusion scales by connecting additional #networks rather than by adding nodes to a single chain.

The platform is already live with over 73 connected networks and 1,000+ nodes, and new Layer 1s can be onboarded without re-architecting the rollup or fragmenting consortium #liquidity.

#QuantFusion

[Quant Fusion Layer 2.5 @FusionLayer25]

Quant Fusion introduces Fusion Firewall, a new blockchain firewall with decentralised access controls, allowing users to define precisely who can interact with their smart contracts and accounts.

This enterprise-grade security makes Quant Fusion suitable for regulated financial services while maintaining the innovation potential of decentralised systems.

[Quant Fusion Layer 2.5 @FusionLayer25]

Traditional #blockchains scale by adding more nodes. Fusion scales by connecting entire networks.

Its patented multi ledger rollup architecture makes existing chains interoperable, turning fragmented ecosystems into one high-performance, institutional-grade platform.

With Fusion, financial institutions can innovate faster, deploy cross-chain products, and future-proof their #digitalasset strategy.

cow[.]fi (CoW Swap) UI (and probably DNS) is compromised. do NOT interact!

[Quant Fusion Layer 2.5 @FusionLayer25]

Today, the same stablecoin exists separately on 10 chains with liquidity fragmented across all of them.

Fusion connects those chains into a single network, making an asset issued on one chain accessible across all of them - no wrapped versions, no bridge transfers, and liquidity that stays whole.

The chains remain, but the fragmentation between them does not.

Murex built the systems capital markets trust. Quant is making those same systems programmable.

Today, we’re announcing a strategic partnership that brings institutional-grade digital asset capabilities directly into MX.3, one of the most widely deployed capital markets platforms in the world.

Banks and capital markets firms can now issue, settle and manage tokenised deposits and digital bonds within the systems already operational across their trading, risk and post-trade workflows. No rip and replace, no parallel infrastructure. The same platforms made ready for the next era of settlement, automation and liquidity.

This partnership comes as tokenised infrastructure moves from pilot to production across the world’s largest markets. Tokenised real-world assets have crossed $100 billion. DTCC has SEC approval to tokenise US Treasuries from mid-2026. Major UK banks are already working with Quant through the Great Britain Tokenised Deposit initiative.

The infrastructure moment is here, and now it runs on MX.3.

A decade in the making, we have published an ISO standard for blockchain interoperability.

This is a milestone I've been working towards since 2015, Remitt was founded with the conviction that blockchains could transform financial services but only if the industry solved interoperability and harmonised around global standards. Without that, blockchain would remain fragmented, siloed, and locked out of mainstream institutional adoption.

In April 2016, we published what was the world's first proposal for a blockchain standard (https://t.co/SL83Yl4Ejr) a bold move at a time when the industry was still largely focused on proofs of concept and competing protocol narratives, not standardisation.

The idea was simple but ambitious: if blockchains were going to serve global markets, they needed a common framework that transcended any single protocol or vendor.

Central to this thinking from the very beginning was the concept of a multi-gateway architecture, leveraging the know-how of 20 years of experience in cybersecurity to frame the principle that interoperability shouldn't depend on a single bridge or point-to-point connection, but on a layered gateway model that could abstract away the differences between underlying DLTs and connect them through a common interface. This was the architectural foundation of what would become Overledger, and it was also the design philosophy we brought to the standards process.

The belief was that a viable international standard for blockchain interoperability had to be protocol-agnostic and gateway-driven, enabling any DLT to communicate with any other DLT (any-to-any) and with existing networks, without requiring those ledgers to change how they operate. The standard and the technology were born from the same insight.

That same year, I worked closely with the team from @standardsaus (Standards Australia), who had the foresight in 2015 to champion the initiative at the international level. Together, we pushed for ISO to establish a dedicated Technical Committee for blockchain and not to be absorbed into an existing committee, but to stand on its own as a recognition that this technology warranted its own global standards programme. The industry demand was there, the use cases were multiplying, and the fragmentation was becoming a real barrier.

In September 2016, the New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) received global approval, and ISO formally gave the green light to establish a new Technical Committee (https://t.co/7biJjvHRk9). TC 307 — Blockchain and Electronic Distributed Ledger Technologies — was born (https://t.co/5SsFPIw0HH). The inaugural meeting was held in Sydney in April 2017, and from that moment the real work began.

As the standards work progressed internationally, the mission at Remitt was evolving too. What started as an effort to use blockchains for financial services and solve interoperability grew into something far larger, a full enterprise infrastructure platform for connecting any blockchain to any network. Remitt became Quant, and we built Overledger, the world's first blockchain operating system to deliver on that original vision. The multi-gateway architecture that informed the standards thinking became the core of Overledger's design: a technology layer that sits above all blockchains, providing institutions with a single integration point to access any DLT, any network, and any existing system. The interoperability challenge that drove the standards work was the same challenge we set out to solve commercially and the two efforts reinforced each other throughout.
For close to a decade since TC 307's formation, subject matter experts across the world have contributed their time and expertise to Working Group 7 — Interoperability is the committee I chair.

International standards are not built quickly they are built through consensus, technical debate, and relentless refinement. The same methodology and rigour that created the Internet, through publishing standards. The result is a published international standard for blockchain interoperability.

A huge thank you to @isostandards as the international standards developing organisation, to the team at @standardsaus who started the initiative in 2015 and worked tirelessly to get TC 307 approved and established globally, and to every subject matter expert who contributed to Working Group 7 over the years. This would not exist without that collective effort.

From a blog post proposing the world's first blockchain standard in 2016, to a published ISO standard in 2026 and from Remitt to Quant, from an architectural concept of multi-gateway interoperability to Overledger and a global standard, this has been a decade-long journey of building both the standards and the technology to make blockchain interoperability a reality for institutions worldwide.

There is still much more work ahead. More standards to develop, more to evolve, and more to build. But today, we mark a significant milestone.

Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan announced the city will issue its first #stablecoin licences in March 2026.

The headline focused on stablecoins, but the real story is what #HongKong is building underneath: a three-layer #digitalmoney architecture that mirrors an identical pattern emerging across every major financial centre.

This isn’t just about Hong Kong. It’s about infrastructure fragmentation becoming a global problem whilst everyone builds the same thing.

Delighted to share that @quantnetwork has been selected for the @bankofengland’s Synchronisation Lab as part of the RTGS Future Roadmap.

Our use case: atomic, multi-bank treasury operations powered by Quant Flow and PayScript®. All payment legs settle together or not at all, eliminating partial settlement risk across multiple banks in a single action.

This is programmable finance that works within existing market structures, not around them.

Exciting progress on #QuantFusion as we kick off 2026!

1. Fusion Firewall Updates
We recently upgraded Fusion's Multi-Ledger Rollup to deploy critical updates to Fusion Firewall #smartcontracts.

Key enhancements based on institutional feedback:

- Self-managed token whitelists for institutions
- Liquidity isolation options for shared tokens
- Privacy-preserving on-chain whitelist synchronisation

2. Bring Your Own Node (BYON) - Now Live
A foundational upgrade for #QuantConnect users. BYON allows users to attach their own nodes to Fusion via our Quant Connect UI. It’s as simple as selecting the network and entering a URL. Starting with pre-selected node providers to ensure reliability and simplify setup, with plans to expand to user-hosted nodes.

The infrastructure is fully generic, any EVM-compatible node can connect, with minimal adjustments needed for non-EVM chains. Currently testing on Sepolia and Amoy testnets.

3. Staking Infrastructure in Development
We're evaluating staking algorithms that balance inclusivity with meaningful participation. The goal: encourage QNT staking at all levels without disadvantaging smaller holders. Staking will be tied to BYON, users stake QNT against their nodes to earn rewards.

Rather than slashing, we're following proven models (like Avalanche) where withholding rewards effectively incentivises node reliability.

Some shifts in finance are loud.

Others are quiet, but far more important. Today, Quant is announcing a partnership with @dentsusoken in Japan.

Over recent years, our work done in the UK has shown that digital money doesn’t have to sit outside the financial system to innovate. Tokenised deposits and programmable settlement can be designed inside regulation, inside banks, and at institutional scale. What’s interesting now is what happens next.

Japan is approaching these questions in its own way, within its own regulatory and market context. But the direction of travel is clear: major economies are beginning to think seriously about how programmable money fits into real-world financial infrastructure.

This partnership is about building that foundation with institutions at the centre.

#TokenisedDeposits #ProgrammableMoney #Stablecoins #Blockchain

[Quant @quantnetwork]

Digital money isn't theoretical anymore.

Quant and Dentsu Soken are partnering to build #programmablesettlement & #tokeniseddeposit infrastructure in Japan.

The UK tested it in regulated systems. Now Japan is moving from pilot to production, combining regulatory experience with deep implementation expertise across Japanese financial institutions - learn more: https://t.co/l7qDo7M9z4

How does the Multi-Ledger Rollup work? ⚙️

The MLR's power comes from its unique design:

- Sequencer: Orders transactions from various chains.
- Consensus Nodes: Leverage connected networks to validate transactions.
- Virtual Machine (VM) Node: Tracks the state of the entire rollup.

This allows for atomic cross-chain operations.

@asparagoid Interesting... have there also been longitudinal studies conducted on men smiling more or less over a time period and whether this correlates with transition?
