Catalyst funding turns up in places worth noting.
Five completed projects this round: a fan engagement concept for Juventus, Bitcoin Lightning payments, DEX tooling, AI security, and DeFi farming.
✅ Juventus Fan Engagement by @stadiaventures
A fan engagement concept for Juventus FC, with Cardano use-case design and an implementation proposal.
✅ Cardinal by @PolyCrypt_
Bitcoin Lightning-style payments on Cardano via Cardinal, expanding cross-chain liquidity and DeFi utility.
✅ One Launchpad by @wingriderscom
One launchpad across multiple Cardano DEXes, simplifying token deployment and broadening liquidity access from launch.
✅ Aiken AI Vulnerability Detection by @txpipe_tools
AI-driven vulnerability detection for Aiken smart contracts, helping developers ship safer code on Cardano.
✅ Decentralized Farming by @MuesliSwapTeam
Decentralized farming smart contracts on Cardano, with transparent staking, automated rewards, and audited tooling.
Five teams, five completed milestones, and an ecosystem that keeps adding new ground.
**4/**
The AMM handles pricing, Perun channels handle settlement, and the contracts make sure LPs get their principal back plus fees. You deposit and earn. More updates are coming soon!
**1/**
Cross-chain DeFi between Ethereum and CKB is coming and is powered by Perun!
There will be liquidity pools on both chains with an integrated AMM. You will be able to deposit CKB or ETH and earn yield from cross-chain swaps.
**3/**
Unlike most cross-chain bridges, no validator committees or trusted relays needed. Swaps are secured by Perun, our formally verified OSS state channel protocol. No additional setup or trust into intermediaries required. Swaps are settled on ETH and CKB smart contracts.
🪦 Perun: SAFE
Death Score: 12/100
"Congratulations, you built something so deep in the cryptographic weeds that even Claude needs to sit down and think about state channels for a while."
Cause of death: N/A — Patient is alive and frankly unbothered

🤖Agentic payments are trending following @tempo's release of the MPP standard, which uses "payment channels" instead of on-chain transactions
Get your questions in for the @PolyCrypt_ team, who has been extending their Perun channel framework to CKB!👇

Obol has recently distributed several technical and community-focused grants to support projects and individuals building in our ecosystem.
We’re pleased to spotlight the latest wave of grant recipients.
@stonecoldpat0@ameensol We have been working on cross-chain Channels for a while now. You can try out https://t.co/zoFHtBRSkS for a cross-chain swap use case that uses our SDK (https://t.co/l4RGhbbSGQ).
🚀 New Release: go-perun v0.14.0 – Narvi
The latest update of go-perun has been released!
It now integrates libp2p networking, enabling seamless and secure peer-to-peer connection between participants in payment and virtual channels.

Looking ahead, we are working toward launching Stellar-Ethereum swaps on mainnet and expanding cross-chain integrations for more blockchains. Stay tuned for more updates!
#Blockchain#Stellar#Ethereum#StateChannels
Perun Channels on Stellar are now fully cross-chain compatible with Ethereum! You can swap tokens between both networks using our PerunX dApp (https://t.co/opKyuEUiZK) and also develop your own Stellar-Ethereum dApp using the go-perun SDK to connect both blockchain ecosystems.
Developers can take a look at our most recent Stellar backend Release (https://t.co/EYSDv5nVmD) and our example code (https://t.co/3yLIlQ04P0) to see how simple it is to build secure cross-chain state channels for Stellar and Ethereum.
The next Nervos Community Town Hall is happening soon! Wednesday, March 26th @ 6pm PST!🚨
