Do you wonder what Fetch.ai is?  Fetch.ai is delivering AI to the crypto economy. Digital Twins, powered by artificial intelligence, can provide automation across data-intensive industries like supply chain, healthcare, travel, and DeFi and serve the needs of a single user or aggregate millions of data points for on-chain oracles. Founded in 2017 and launched via IEO on Binance in March 2019, Fetch.AI is an artificial intelligence (AI) lab building an open, permissionless, decentralized machine learning network with a crypto economy. Fetch.ai democratizes access to AI technology with a permissionless network upon which anyone can connect and access secure datasets by using autonomous AI to execute tasks that leverage its global network of data. The Fetch.AI model is rooted in use cases like optimizing DeFi trading services, transportation networks (parking, micromobility), smart energy grids, and travel — essentially any complex digital system that relies on large-scale datasets. The Fetch.ai network is an interchain protocol, based on the Cosmos-SDK, and uses a high-performance WASM-based smart contract language (Cosmwasm) to allow advanced cryptography and machine learning logic to be implemented on chain.

When people think of Umee, they mainly think of the Umee blockchain, the lending &amp; borrowing hub of the Cosmos. But we at Umee aim to build far more than just the Umee chain, as we believe that most Web3 products are at their best when tightly integrated with each other, and when designed with a coherent and aligned vision in mind.  That’s why we’re so thrilled to announce our third product, joining the ranks of Umee &amp; Ojo, we bring you a wallet that does stuff a little differently. Tabu. &nbsp; So what are we doing differently? Well, we believe that your wallet should feel as complete as your mobile banking app, just without the whole "Not controlling your own money" thing. This requires two things: #1 Control over your own keys through an open source wallet. This should be a given, but we think it's still important to call out. While the open vs closed source debate is a contentious one, we believe that there should be no debate when it comes to wallets. Anything that gets to know, or access, your private key or seed phrase, needs to be open source. No discussion, please make sure you look into this before ever using a new wallet! #2 An integrated &amp; intuitive UX. When you make a transfer in your mobile banking app, you aren't redirected to the Swift or ACH websites, it just works in the app's native UI. Why should wallets be different when it comes to say, swaps or NFTs? With Tabu, we'll be working to integrate all your favorite protocols and chains right into the native interface. This means, let's saw you need to swap some tokens, rather than going to your Dapp browser, and loading up the Osmosis website like you would in any other browser, instead, you'll just go to the "Swap" section of the wallet and handle it there. This expands well beyond just swaps however, as you'll also be able to manage things like LP pools and NFTs right in the native interface. At launch, Tabu will have a few major Cosmos protocols natively integrated, like Osmosis for swaps &amp; LP management, &amp; Stargaze to view your NFTs. But our V1 launch is only the beginning, and we plan to lean heavily into aggregation in the long term. This means the swap section will find the best prices between multiple DEXs, and that your NFT collection will show your holdings and all their stats from multiple chains &amp; marketplaces. Listening to community feedback &amp; integrating your favorite protocols is a top priority of ours, so get involved on social media and let us know what features you want to see and which protocols you want integrated! &nbsp; Wen? Sometime next month, we will be launching a closed NFT-gated Beta. This NFT collection will be 100% airdropped. No mint. While it ruins the fun to giveaway snapshot details, we will say they haven't been taken yet 👀📸🔭 We will be dropping this collection in stages to various communities all over the Interchain, as well as bringing additional utility to holders post-public launch.🦝🦑🧔🏻‍♂️ Want more information about Tabu? Checkout our recent appearance on Cosmonaut Bootcamp, hosted by Spark IBC, where we dive into all the details about your new favorite wallet, and make sure to follow us on Twitter.

Consider staking with my validator Stakecito Channel Sponsors: Persistence &amp; Composable Finance History of Nick White: In 2016 he became interested in crypto through his friends’ interest in Ethereum and this eventually led him to co-found Harmony in 2018. The main purpose of the project was to solve scalability of blockchains through Sharding and Proof-of-Stake. In 2020, he learned about a new approach to scaling called Modular Blockchains and he knew it was going to revolutionize the industry. He was introduced to Cosmos in 2018 from doing regular research about the space. In his opinion, the impact of Cosmos is everywhere, even if it isn’t directly seen due to the thought leadership and vision behind the project. Benefits of Modular Blockchains: Celestia gives the benefits of appchains from the Cosmos model while getting shared security and ability to deploy any application easy. Below are the benefits of Celestia’s model: 1. Scaleable by default 2. Customizability 3. Sovereignty How do you the end game for Cosmos/Ethereum and how does Celestia fit in? The vision of Cosmos is the internet of interoperable blockchains, and this is the end game for Web 3.0. The exponential growth of the internet couldn’t have been easily predicted, but like the internet has hundreds of millions of websites, we are going will have millions blockchains. The two main features that are lacking to realize that future is its expensive and difficult to deploy a blockchain and you don’t get shared security. Celestia solves both issues by enabling the launching of blockchains easily and provides shared security. Celestia is an appchain that offers data availability and consensus and doesn’t compete with Cosmos but provides a service. Thoughts on Interchain Security and Mesh Security: Interchain Security is a valid path to go but the biggest issue is that it isn’t permissionless and isn’t very scalable but on Celestia it is both permissionless and scalable. With Mesh Security, he believes it has benefits but believes it is oversold with the potential benefits. What is the tradeoff of Modular Blockchain technology?: The biggest one is that if someone just wants to build a smart contract, it is more complex than on something like Ethereum. The biggest problem that still needs to be solved is roll up sequencing/node operating as a service. Celestia runs the Consensus and Data Availability part but who is controlling the infrastructure part of running the nodes? As of now, there is no solution for this but the mechanisms behind Interchain Staking will serve as a basis to help solve this. Tradeoffs with roll ups and appchains: The process of recruiting nodes/validators and issuing a token is a harder process with an appchain than with roll ups but there is less decentralization on roll ups. Architecture of Celestia and role of IBC: Celestia is an appchain on Cosmos built with the Cosmos SDK and a modified version of Tendermint that is IBC enabled. Data Availability Sampling is the new technology on Celestia that makes it unique. Use cases and projects launching on Celestia: Eclipse is exciting because they’re taking the Solana virtual machine and allowing this to be turned into a Solana based roll up. An app specific roll up that allows for the capture of Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) is a great use case for the Celestia technology, this technology is being worked on by Skip. There are many other interesting technologies being built with the most interesting being a zk roll up, although unfortunately he couldn’t mention the name of the project. What is the road to main net? What is the utility of their token? They currently have several live test nets, in Q1 2023 they will be moving to an incentivized test net to bootstrap the validator ecosystem, and likely in Q2 they will launch the main net. The token will be used for staking and for paying for transaction fees as the main business of Celestia is selling block space (per byte). Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum who have a finite amount of block space, which raises the cost of fees, on Celestia there isn’t a finite amount of block space because it can scale through the number of nodes on the network. Their goals are cheap block space fees and to keep those fees cheap for the long term as more users are brought onto the network. How big is the team? They are a lean team of about 40 people because having a bigger team leads to higher overhead costs and he doesn’t want to make the same mistake as they did with Harmony where they thought more was better. What is going on with Cevmos? The project is still alive with more news coming early in 2023 but likely with a new name.

As the first implementation of IBC bridging to DotSama, Centauri enables the possibility for users to move digital assets seamlessly between the Polkadot/Kusama (DotSama) ecosystems and the blockchains connected to the IBC, such as the Cosmos ecosystem. The days of DeFi limited by Ethereum are a thing of the past; as many other chains and ecosystems have become significant DeFi hubs with their own individual advantages and earnings potentials. Connecting the plethora of growing ecosystems via Centauri allows users to maximize capital efficiency in a UI/UX-centric way. Centauri ultimately empowers users to take the utmost advantage of the best and most suited opportunities DeFi has to offer for users and developers alike. When we announced Centauri, our initial vision was laser focused — to architect the first bridge between the DotSama and Cosmos ecosystems. A lofty goal in itself yet we understood the potential was far more significant, and our technology could expand to other communities and their respective ecosystem. Centauri would mark the first expansion of IBC outside of the Cosmos ecosystem with significant implications for DeFi as a whole, yet more significant was our bridging team’s realization that the components needed for a DotSama &lt;&gt; Cosmos bridge implementation are comparatively similar, to those required to bridge to other ecosystems with IBC. In a previous article, we explored Trusted vs Trustless bridging architecture, subsequently, in this article, we will detail our development team’s journey from Centauri’s inception to where we are now. We will also expound on our architectural comparison and how we are repurposing pieces of Centauri to make IBC more extensible to new ecosystems in order to achieve our updated vision for Centauri: trustlessly connecting all major DeFi ecosystems. Ultimately, Centauri’s vision is no longer a dream of the distant future, but a reality we are consistently and confidently actualizing. A brief history of IBC As we outlined in our first article of this bridging series, the siloed architecture of most blockchains today has necessitated the development of various forms of bridges. These bridges allow token transfers to occur between previously disconnected blockchains, but oftentimes make tradeoffs that undermine the decentralized nature of blockchain and distributed ledger technology. We believe that centralized and custodial solutions hold no place in DeFi, and as such we have recognized the pivotal role the Inter-blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) will play in the future of blockchain innovation. In short, IBC is an interoperability protocol that allows 2 blockchains to communicate with each other. IBC was born in the Cosmos ecosystem and can be easily implemented by any blockchain built using the Cosmos SDK. This means that self-sovereign Cosmos-based blockchains are able to communicate trustlessly among themselves via IBC. Unlike other bridges, IBC is a general purpose message passing protocol that can facilitate the bidirectional transfer of any data form. This opens the possibility for interactions that go beyond the token transfers enabled by other bridging protocols. For example, with IBC you could call a function on Chain A from Chain B and vice versa which unlocks a whole new realm of possibilities and pathways. Additionally, IBC’s trustless design means that no third-party intermediaries are introduced in the line of communication. Rather, communication via IBC is secured by the consensus mechanisms of the 2 blockchains it is connecting. The security and reliability of messages passed using IBC are therefore determined by the underlying blockchains themselves, rather than a trusted intermediary. However, IBC faces certain challenges in terms of scalability due to being a Cosmos-native protocol. Since it was intended for use between blockchains built using the Cosmos SDK, changes are necessitated at the infrastructure level to add support to pre-existing blockchains to host the necessary components to support communication via IBC. The Composable Finance bridging team has taken these challenges head-on with the development of Centauri, our trustless bridging hub which extends the reach of IBC to new ecosystems by pushing infrastructure-level changes to add IBC support to these pre-existing blockchains. Ultimately, our work is further expanding the horizons of this necessary infrastructure which will not only impact the concerned ecosystems but bring trustless communication to all of DeFi in the foreseeable future. Our roadmap for implementing and extending IBC across various DeFi ecosystems We have been hard at work developing a generalized toolkit to facilitate the implementation of IBC on as many ecosystems as possible. However, there are fundamental differences in blockchain architecture that make 1:1 ports of this toolkit impossible. Tweaks and adjustments are necessary for implementation in every ecosystem, thus, we focus our efforts and tackle each implementation sequentially. This means that Centauri will roll out in phases over the course of the next quarter. These phases are expected to roll out as follows: Kusama &lt;&gt; Polkadot Kusama &lt;&gt; Cosmos Kusama &lt;&gt; NEAR Cosmos &lt;&gt; NEAR Cosmos &lt;&gt; Polkadot With the completion of each stage, more opportunities and liquidity will become available to DotSama natives and the collaborative ecosystems respectively. After each of the aforementioned implementations are finalized, the focus will shift to bringing IBC to new ecosystems which our bridging team is actively researching. Our roadmap extends far beyond the connections mentioned above as we have already begun to plan on connecting to other various chains and ecosystems via Centauri which we will cover in the third post of this series. DotSama &lt;&gt; Cosmos implementation Centauri in its inception was designed to bridge the DotSama and Cosmos ecosystems via IBC. This would enable the trustless, bidirectional exchange of assets and information between 2 of DeFi’s most dominant, interoperable ecosystems. There were 5 key pieces needed in order to achieve this goal: IBC-rs An implementation of IBC in Rust, which allows for IBC messages to be interpreted on Picasso (and other DotSama-based chains) Pallet IBC Which is composed of the aforementioned IBC-rs implementation and a CosmWasm light client (ic07). Together these enable our parachain to process and interpret IBC packets. GRANDPA light client GRANDPA is a protocol developed by Parity to verify finality proofs of parachain headers. Our custom light client was based on this protocol and compiles with IBC-rs, allowing us to integrate the GRANDPA client into our IBC pallet (pallet-ibc) to communicate with Cosmos chains or any other chain with a GRANDPA light client implementation. ICS-8 WASM client The ICS-8 client will enable light client implementations written in CosmWasm to run natively on blockchains built with the Cosmos SDK. This allows for a GRANDPA light client implementation on Cosmos as a CosmWasm contract which can be deployed to Cosmos chains, allowing blockchains in the Cosmos ecosystem to track the finality of DotSama parachains. Hyperspace relayer implementation A custom-built relayer implementation allows for transferring arbitrary packets between DotSama and Cosmos-based blockchains using the IBC protocol. In the future we expect other relayer solutions to add support for cross-ecosystem message passing via IBC. Still, for the time being, Hyperspace is the only relayer implementation with this functionality. The result of all the pieces of infrastructure we are pioneering will come together as proposed in the diagram below: Kusama &lt;&gt; Polkadot implementation While Centauri was initially designed with a bridge between DotSama &lt;&gt; Cosmos, the first implementation will actually be between 2 DotSama-based chains, Kusama and Polkadot. Currently, there is no bridge between the 2 relay chains, and as the first IBC bridge outside the Cosmos, this development is of paramount importance for both the DotSama and Cosmos communities. DotSama &lt;&gt; NEAR implementation We have covered Centauri’s extension to the NEAR ecosystem in another article here. We have been working in close collaboration with the NEAR team to bring the necessary components for a GRANDPA light client implementation on NEAR. To do this, we have been assisting NEAR’s core developers with the development of infrastructure-level improvements for: Signature verification Missing validity proofs Singular validation process And more All of these can be found in our NEAR enhancement proposals NEP-364 and NEP-384. Once addressed these changes will pave the way for our light client implementation, bringing IBC to the NEAR ecosystem. Additionally, we have recently announced that we received a grant from the NEAR Foundation, more specific details on that and our work around NEAR can be found in this announcement. Below you will find a diagram detailing how the same components mentioned above for Centauri’s Cosmos implementation can effectively be repurposed to extend functionality to new blockchains such as NEAR. Centauri testnet As can be seen from the diagrams above, the Hyperspace Relayer and our light client implementations can be repurposed for use with blockchains outside of the Cosmos. This makes Centauri the most extensible trustless bridging solution available at this time. Centauri’s recently announced testnet efforts put our developments on full display. We have been collaborating with the highest volume Cosmos chains to help us test the passing of messages between Picasso and the Cosmos ecosystem while monitoring key metrics such as; block times, fees, and latency. More details on Centauri’s testnet can be found in the blog and we are excited to continue sharing our progress on these efforts. Extension of IBC to other ecosystems Our bridging team is already researching expansion to ecosystems such as Ethereum and Aptos. Although this research is preliminary and bridges to these ecosystems are not currently under development, both will utilize similar tooling to what was detailed above. Due to this development, it is accurate to say that Centauri is much more than just a bridge between Cosmos and DotSama. Centauri has the potential to connect any 2 blockchains which are capable of housing a light client implementation. Therefore, Centauri is more aptly described as the trustless bridging hub used to connect light-client-enabled blockchains. A rudimentary infrastructure to actualize the true promise of DeFi and unlock new opportunities and innovations across any chain, any money, anywhere.
