Building blockchain and trust technologies for mainstream adoption in finance, institutions, and beyond.

Common Prefix is taking the lead stewardship role of Axelar. We are excited to share our plans for 2026, with more details to be announced in Q1. Our team consists of scientists–professors, PhDs, and post-docs–from world-renowned universities like Stanford, Imperial, ETH Zürich, and University of Edinburgh. But also senior engineers with decades of experience in hedge funds, TradFi, and Web3. We bridge the gap between science and engineering. We are razor-sharp focused on institutional adoption. For this, we will double down on the ecosystems that matter like XRPL, Sui, Solana, Ethereum, Stellar, and Hyperliquid. We will make sure that supported connections bring value to the ecosystem, and the right incentives for validators. For institutional, we need increased economic security. We’ll enable co-staking of blue chip tokens beyond just AXL. Privacy, compliance, and robustness will also be a theme for the year. For bridging, we will remove friction of moving assets from chain to chain by introducing gasless bridging. Subsidies will come from investing capital locked in gateway contracts, creating novel asset classes. Users will always have the choice to act according to their risk appetite. Lastly, we’re building up-the-stack in select key verticals: stablecoins, tokenized deposits, yield, and lending. A fusion of new chains creates an opportunity for new emerging asset classes.

Alongside Axelar Intents, we’re building a request-for-quote (RFQ) API that brings together four ways to move assets through @axelar: - Intents - Interchain Token Service (ITS) - Gateway transfers - Express delivery Hear more from Nikolas Kamarinakis on the RFQ API:

We're formally verifying the XRP Ledger Lending Protocol, going beyond the usual testing, using methods that mathematically prove the protocol can never be drained, become insolvent, or behave outside its intended rules. In this thread we cover how we settled on Lean 4. 1/6 🧵

c) C interoperability: Lean compiles to C and has a usable FFI, which is what makes the cross-checking step possible. We can run the Lean model against the real implementation rather than trusting that the two agree. 5/6

d) Ecosystem: Lean is under very active development, the tooling is good, and the community is large enough that we are not the first people to hit most problems. 6/6

Very excited about Arc. We're already building on it with @CommonPrefix and our partners. We will deploy a very exciting new product on it before end of year. Mainstream adoption is coming. Stay tuned.
Arc Mainnet is live. Built for programmable money, global markets, and agentic economic activity, Arc brings stablecoin-native infrastructure to builders and institutions from day one. Explore what’s live on Arc: arc.io/blog/arc-economic-os-…

Number of MiCA licenses issued is a vanity metric. Greece should instead focus on the real benefits that blockchains & trust technologies can deliver. More in our op-ed piece with @TziokasV and our friends at @deonpolicy, published in @WIRED Greece.
Η Ελλάδα δεν χρειάζεται να μετρά την επιτυχία της σε άδειες εταιρειών ή κατόχους κρυπτονομισμάτων. Η ευκαιρία βρίσκεται στην αναβάθμιση των υποδομών του χρήματος, στην ενίσχυση του τραπεζικού ανταγωνισμού και στη διατήρηση εξειδικευμένου ανθρώπινου δυναμικού στη χώρα. wired.com.gr/article/to-stoi…

Excited about the work with @RippleXDev on formally verifying the XRP Ledger. More on the technical details behind this effort. 🧵 1/6
The same technology that just let Claude formalize Fermat's Last Theorem is also being used to formally verify the XRP Ledger. We're working with @CommonPrefix to prove, mathematically, that XRPL's most critical parts do exactly what we expect them to do. commonprefix.com/blog/formal…

The modeling work has surfaced edge cases and bugs in xrpld's behavior. Some were numerical issues at extreme values. Others were behavioral, where a sequence of otherwise valid actions could lead to an unexpected state. These have been addressed and deployed in xrpld's recent releases. 5/6

Proofs are tedious to write by hand, and that tedium is a large part of what has made formal verification expensive. AI models are now good at exactly this kind of work, and we use them heavily. The proof is checked, not trusted. Lean either verifies it or it does not. 6/6
