After six months of intense buidling, Neutron is almost ready to ship ✴️

With Interchain Security and a whole new year just around the corner, there’s no better time to look back to an eventful year in Cosmos 👇 Image
2/ It all began on the @cosmoshub forum with Prop 72:

To bring Interchain Security to market, @jelenaaa____ from @informalinc proposed supporting DeFi projects looking to launch on the Hub.

@P2Pvalidator answered the call first with Neutron and the rest is history: Image
3/ Prop 72 was a major achievement for the Hub, allowing it to remain minimal while bootstrapping its own economic zone and, through Neutron’s cross-chain smart-contracting platform, attracting top DeFi protocols such as @LidoFinance.
4/ Over the following weeks, the Neutron community began to take shape:
👉 Thousands joined our Discord and Telegram channels
👉 @Welding_Cosmos created the first ever piece of Neutron art on @NoPixels_
👉 The community picked Neutron’s ticker, $NTRN Image
5/ Fast forward to September and we set out for the year’s greatest conference: @CosmoverseHQ!

What a week: Speech, booth, great chats with #Cosmonauts, $ATOM flying high and the iconic tattoo of @gadikian!

Look closely and you’ll see @jelenaaa____ rocking Neutron merch 😉 Image
6/ Back from Colombia, we completed Neutron’s first audit, launched Quark testnet and became the first consumer chain to launch on Game of Chains.

Kudos to @dualityxyz for being the only other ICS project to catch up with us 😉

7/ With the Terra and FTX collapses, 2022 has been a brutal year in crypto. Yet, Neutron continued to thrive. After all, bear market is for buidling.

Looking forward to early 2023, here’s what you can expect 👇
8/

1️⃣ Neutron’s launch proposal: everything you want to know about the project, $NTRN, and how it’ll accrue value to $ATOM.

2️⃣ A taste of the finished product with Neutron’s open, on-going testnet

3️⃣ Neutron’s mainnet launch, ushering in the Interchain DeFi era.
9/ We're tremendously grateful for all the support this community has given us this year 🫶

2023 will be another roller-coaster ride; one we’re very much excited about.

We hope you enjoy some time with family and friends to bring in the new year, and we’ll see you in 2023! 🍾

You’ve heard about Neutron but can’t quite wrap your head around it yet?

We’ve got you covered ✴️

In this thread, we’ll breakdown Neutron’s roadmap, explain its features and illustrate how they will change the face of Cosmos DeFi 🧵👇
On Today’s Menu 🗒️

1⃣ Interchain Security (ICS)
2⃣ Roadmap Update
3⃣ Interchain Queries (ICQ)
4⃣ Interchain Accounts (ICA)
5⃣ Interchain DEX
6⃣ Interchain MM

Let’s dive in 👇
1⃣ Interchain Security (ICS) ⚛️🛡️

Neutron will be the first smart-contract platform to be secured by millions of $ATOMs staked on @cosmoshub, making it the most secure platform in the ecosystem, and a Top-10 Proof-of-Stake blockchain.

Neutron is gearing up for its first testnet ✴️

The first and most experimental of Neutron’s testnets, Quark will help us identify bugs and harden the codebase.

Learn about Quark, the preliminary audit report and how to get your validators involved 👇 Image
2/ We will be launching Quark later this month, and to ensure Neutron’s Interchain features can handle the load of a bustling DeFi Hub.

Quark will focus on…
✴️ General performance
✴️ Interchain Queries
✴️ Interchain Accounts
✴️ Custom messages signing
3/ Preliminary Audit Report from @SecurityOak

As expected, Oak Security was able to identify a few vulnerabilities which should be patched before the launch of Quark.

We will release the full audit report once all fixes have been reviewed.

Cross-chain interoperable smart-contracts make appchains better ✴️

If this sounds counter-intuitive, read on:

In this Blueprint, we introduce three possible implementations of an Interchain Money-Market, and the benefits they bring to the appchain world. Image
2/ Let’s start with the basics:

Money Markets (MM) are DeFi protocols that enable users to deposit collateral and borrow against it.

To ensure they remain solvent, Money Markets tracks asset prices and liquidate positions before they become insolvent.
3/ Money Markets are crucial DeFi building blocks:

They release equity into the zone’s economy, enable leverage and improve the expressiveness of the markets: through them, users can take on long and short positions, which they can use to hedge their positions.

Besides its own implementation, Neutron will make @strangelovelabs's Interchain Queries (ICQ) available to smart-contracts.

A core primitive to cross-chain composability, ICQs can be implemented in more than one way, with trade-offs.

So, what makes Strangelove's ICQs different? Image
2/ Queries are specific, question-like instructions which the Cosmos SDK understands.

“How many tokens does this user have? Which validators have they delegated to?”

The SDK knows where the relevant data is stored and can combine it into a structured answer. Image
3/ The issue? Regular queries can only be executed locally.

To read a blockchain's state from another zone, Interchain Queries are needed.

Without them, cross-chain applications would operate in the dark - or they would have to rely on trusted oracle solutions.

Neutron makes smart-contracts interoperable cross-chain, broadening the design space for DeFi.

So, how can Neutron's tech make Interchain DEXes better?

Introducing “Blueprints”, an exploration into the architecture of future cross-chain DeFi, to excite and inspire. Image
2/ Cosmos DEXes have iterated fast, enabling IBC, superfluid staking, orderbook trading, etc.
Still, there is always room for improvement.

Let’s look at common limitations:
- Necessity of bridging assets to/from the DEX,
- Multi-hop IBC denominations can break interoperability
3/ What if we could build a DEX that:

⛓️ Can onboard any ICA-enabled zone
🪙 Offers atomic swaps between all onboarded zones
📥 Lets users receive tokens on any onboarded zone
✅ Always provides native tokens or functional 1-hop IBC denominations

✴️ Neutron Roadmap Update ✴️

With Interchain Security in sight, it’s time for an update on Neutron’s launch sequence.

Through this process, Neutron will be hardened into the most secure smart-contract platform on Cosmos.

Learn how, and when to get involved below 👇 Image
2/ September 19th - Oak Security Audit 🔍

Neutron’s codebase and documentation, by then fully open-source, will undergo an extensive review by @SecurityOak.

Oak Security has experience with Cosmos and CosmWasm, a strong track record & no mentions on @RektHQ's leaderboard 😉
3/ October - Quark Testnet 🔬
We will be launching Quark - Neutron’s first, and most experimental testnet - soon after the start of the audit.
Quark is a parallel, open-source security review where everyone is welcome to poke holes in our code and breaking things is celebrated.
