In the depths of the galaxy, towards the Sagittarius direction, a dim star's light flickered. At that moment, space gently twisted, and the path of light quietly changed. There was no explosive flame, no violent turbulence, only a subtle shift, like a slight breath in the deep night of the universe.
Scientists thus found a lonely traveler—a black hole wandering alone.
This lonely black hole has no companion star, no light, and even no noteworthy activities. Its existence is only captured by a subtle shift in light, detailed by sophisticated astronomical telescopes. This discovery breaks past understandings, revealing a hidden, quiet yet extremely important force in the universe.
The emergence of Converge is akin to this discovery—through a subtle shift in the pain points between DeFi and TradFi, it brings epoch-making changes to the global financial system. Just as scientists confirmed the existence of a lonely black hole through subtle changes in light, Converge found the key breakthrough in institutionalizing DeFi through detailed insights into technical architecture and financial needs. It did not rely on sensational publicity but instead delved into innovations in compliance, performance, and cross-chain interoperability, providing a solid foundation for traditional financial institutions to enter DeFi.
This is not a fierce market revolution, but a subtle shift of Converge, which is quietly driving DeFi into the mainstream financial system through meticulous technological innovation and a focus on institutional-grade needs, paving the way for the future global financial landscape.
Converge's innovation: Financial infrastructure tailored for institutional capital
Just as the subtle shift of the lonely black hole sparked humanity's exploration of the profound unknowns of the universe, Converge's innovations also break through the limitations of traditional blockchain design through subtle technological optimization and strategic adjustments. They focus on three key areas: performance optimization, compliance assurance, and cross-chain interoperability. These innovations make Converge a new type of blockchain platform that can accommodate both DeFi and support RWA, breaking the current limitation of DeFi being suitable only for retail investors.
1. Stablecoins as tools for paying gas fees: Enhancing compliance and stability
Converge breaks traditional blockchain design by using stablecoins (USDe and USDtb) as tools for paying gas fees. Most public chains rely on their native tokens (such as Ethereum's ETH or Solana's SOL) to pay transaction fees, which causes transaction costs to fluctuate with token price changes, especially during market turbulence, bringing additional risks to users and institutions.
Converge uses stablecoins to pay gas fees, making transaction costs more stable and eliminating the uncertainties brought by price fluctuations. This not only allows institutional investors to budget transaction costs more accurately but also enhances compliance, enabling seamless operations within the DeFi ecosystem while avoiding the rejection of volatile assets by traditional financial institutions.
2. High-performance EVM environment: Providing efficient execution for institutional-grade applications
Converge not only focuses on usability and compliance but has also made significant improvements in performance. By integrating with Arbitrum and Celestia's technologies, Converge provides a 100ms block time and a high-throughput EVM environment, ensuring low latency and high efficiency for transactions and smart contracts.
These technological innovations ensure the efficiency of the DeFi ecosystem during large-scale transactions, providing a stable execution platform for institutional-level funds, whether for high-frequency trading or large fund dispatching, ensuring timeliness and security in operations.
3. Dual track architecture: Perfectly blending permissioned and permissionless DeFi applications
Another major innovation of Converge is the dual-track architecture, which seamlessly combines permissioned DeFi and permissionless DeFi.
In terms of permissioned DeFi, Converge provides a compliant operational mechanism, allowing institutions to interact with RWA tokenized assets through a whitelist system.
In the realm of open DeFi, ordinary users and developers can still freely use DeFi protocols, promoting the decentralized characteristics of DeFi.
The breakthrough of this design lies in its ability to ensure compliance for traditional financial institutions when participating in DeFi while preserving the decentralized attributes of DeFi itself, providing a unique platform for seamless integration of both.
4. Cross-chain interoperability: Breaking the barriers of asset flow
Converge further optimizes cross-chain asset liquidity by integrating cross-chain protocols such as LayerZero and Wormhole. This technology allows assets on Converge to seamlessly interface with other blockchain ecosystems (such as Ethereum, Solana, etc.), greatly expanding the range of asset flow.
For global institutional investors, the flexibility to operate and manage assets across chains not only provides more investment opportunities but also makes fund management and trade execution more efficient and convenient.
Converge: Focused on institutional needs, anticipating DeFi's entry into the mainstream financial market
You may have noticed that while DeFi has developed rapidly in recent years, it has always been hesitant to enter the market on a large scale due to issues such as compliance, risk control, and predictability. This is why many DeFi projects, including stablecoins and decentralized protocols, are mostly the realm of retail and small investors, while real institutional capital is still watching and hesitating.
And the Converge chain is designed specifically for such institutional needs, with a simple goal—bringing DeFi from a small circle into the mainstream financial market, making institutions willing to come in, able to come in, and not afraid of problems.
With the promotion of iUSDe and RWA tokenization, Converge is paving the way for DeFi to enter the mainstream financial market, bridging the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance. By providing compliant and efficient infrastructure, Converge not only allows institutional investors to enter smoothly but also creates conditions for the global development of DeFi. As more institutional funds and technical talents join, DeFi will no longer be limited to the retail market but will move towards a broader financial ecosystem, welcoming more mature and sustainable development.
Ultimately, Converge's goal is not only to become an institutional-grade DeFi ecosystem but also to win more resources for the entire crypto industry through technological innovation and compliance mechanisms, making it impossible to ignore in the global financial market. At that time, DeFi will no longer be just a niche experimental field, but rather a part of the global financial market. You can imagine that when more institutional capital flows in, DeFi will truly experience explosive growth, becoming an important component of the global financial system.
The emergence of Converge is not only a technological breakthrough but also an attempt at a deep integration of DeFi and traditional finance. It is opening a true gateway for institutional funds and traditional financial markets to understand DeFi through innovative technical architecture and compliance mechanisms.
