Full Story

We continue building on our integrations and levelling up infrastructure for the most seamless experience between our connected ecosystems. Boosts to general performance through continued upgrades to the Relays, greater capital efficiency with wider rollout of the ICON Solver, and a smoother experience for new users with cross-chain liquidity and rewards, were all on the agenda this month. Get the full story below!


🧩 ICON Network Solver

February was a major refactoring period for the solver, introducing a key new feature: Exact Out. This allows users to reverse-quote their swaps - for example, if you want exactly 150 SUI, the solver will now calculate and tell you how much ETH is needed for that trade.

As part of this refactor:

  • ICON and Polygon have been integrated into the solver, with testing underway. These are expected to go live in mid-March.

  • Solana and Stellar integration is complete, currently being tested, and scheduled for a mainnet release by the end of March.


💧 Cross-Chain Liquidity Provision (LP) and Savings Rate

Ongoing testing has identified minor bugs that we are actively fixing and retesting. While this has caused some slight delays, we remain on track for a March release - pending any further issues.


🚀 Relay v3 Development

Development for all connected chains is complete, and we are now working through our internal audit process. By early April, the relay will be ready for mainnet deployment across all supported chains. GMP is now integrated directly into the relay deployments.


📊 New Asset Managers

February also saw the development of new asset managers for each chain. March will focus on finalizing integration testing, followed by internal audits toward the end of the month.


We are committed to providing a seamless, high-performance DeFi experience across all supported ecosystems - with applications powered by ICX. These improvements will set the stage for future integrations and scalability. We remain committed to transparency as we move forward and you can follow along with future integrations on our milestone board.
