CrossFi Chain Overview

Introduction​

CrossFi Chain is a next-generation Layer 1 blockchain built with a modular architecture, seamlessly integrating Cosmos and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This synergy enables high performance, security, scalability, and deep interoperability, allowing users to leverage the benefits of both ecosystems without compromise.

CrossFi Chain serves as a robust foundation for decentralized finance (DeFi), Web3 applications, integrations with traditional financial systems (TradFi), and innovative services. Its primary goal is to provide developers, users, and institutional players with a flexible infrastructure that can adapt to the rapidly evolving market landscape.

Architecture and Technology​

🌌 Cosmos SDK Foundation

At the core of CrossFi Chain lies the Cosmos SDK, which provides a developer-friendly framework for building blockchain applications using modular components. The Cosmos technology stack ensures consensus, coin issuance, transaction validation, and block formation, all powered by Tendermint Core—a robust consensus mechanism based on Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) and Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT).

⚡ EVM Integration

Simultaneously, the EVM layer, built on Ethermint and Evmos, offers full compatibility with Ethereum smart contracts and dApps. This hybrid approach ensures that developers can seamlessly migrate existing Ethereum-based solutions or build new ones using familiar tools such as Solidity, Hardhat, and Truffle, while benefiting from Cosmos' scalability and high-speed execution.

Architecture and Design Principles

Key Features​

🚀 High Performance Metrics

  • Block time: ~5 seconds (potentially reducible to 1 second in the future)
  • Throughput: Up to 10,000 transactions per second, supporting high-load applications like trading platforms or mass payment services
  • Operations per transaction: Up to 100, increasing the functional density of data within a single block
  • Transaction confirmation: 1 block, ensuring rapid finalization of operations

Interoperability and IBC​

Inter-Blockchain Communication

CrossFi Chain fully supports Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC), which has become the standard for exchanging data and assets between independent Cosmos networks.

🌐 Cross-Chain Capabilities

Thanks to IBC, applications can leverage multiple chains simultaneously—for example, storing data on one network while executing financial transactions on another. This simplifies the development of complex decentralized systems and increases asset liquidity.

🔗 Global Network

Interoperability fosters the formation of a global network of interconnected blockchains, paving the way for cross-chain DEXs, multi-chain staking, and expanded DeFi services.

Token Economy​

Token Economy Overview

Key participants in the CrossFi Chain ecosystem include validators, delegators, developers, users, and token holders.

Developer Tools​

🛠️ Development APIs

Developers can utilize:

  • Cosmos gRPC and REST: For interacting with Cosmos-level functionality
  • Ethereum JSON-RPC and WebSocket: Standard tools for Ethereum developers
  • Tendermint RPC and WebSocket: For low-level access to network state and block data

📚 Developer Support

Comprehensive documentation, starter project templates, integration with popular frameworks, and public testnets simplify rapid adaptation and prototyping. An active developer community, regular AMA sessions, hackathons, and grant programs support innovation and new project development.

Integration with Traditional Finance and Oracles​
