2022 saw bridges fail because they were poorly made and overmarketed.

We're now reviewing the keygen docs, once sound we'll initiate the Guard keygen ceremony.
This will be followed by mainnet tests and the official launch of the

@cardano_whale
We're just warming up Whale!
Soon we will have Ethereum and EVM bridges, Cardano native asset listings, Bitcoin Rune support, Bitcoin/UTXO forks like Litecoin and Doge and more!
As each network is added, it'll be interconnected with all supported networks 🔥
rsBTC has successfully bridged from Cardano to Ergo!
This test transfer is important as it illustrates the true multi-chain capabilities of Rosen.
As long as there is $BTC locked on
#Bitcoin
, the rsBTC can freely move between all other supported chains!

The Bitcoin explorer, Esplora, is implemented! This means Bitcoin requirements are implemented for the Guard service!

Further testing and optimizations will continue before the public release of the UI!
We've experienced a nice little influx of followers since releasing the

All going well, the UI supporting Bitcoin transfers will go live on Friday, June 14!

All major Cardano wallets will be supported in real Rosen launch. Currently, we are in public beta testing.
Rosen chose to support Nami in testing because it is open source and offers auditable assumptions.

🚨 Rosen 2 layer protection in action
Yesterday, we encountered a fraudulent transfer that used very large fees in a custom locking transaction
👀 This event should have been ignored by Watchers and should not be triggered, though due to a missing check in the Watcher service
After 2-3 weeks of cross-chain test transactions, the bridge is technically live and the UI could go live at any moment
We're collaborating with Cardano projects to establish initial pairs on
#Cardano
dexes
Stay tuned for more details
Wrapping up our EVM chain research with the team. A few minor problems to solve, but nothing stopping us from starting to build EVM support.
Ready to make EVM happen. Stay tuned!

Rosen's imminent Bitcoin interoperability will enable the transfer of BTC between supported blockchains, enhancing the ability to interact across various networks that provide the following benefits

🔸 Increased Utility

@cardano_whale
While we're still in the RosenLite era making optimizations, in time

EVM bridging enhances liquidity and exposure for

The Rosen model is secure, transparent, auditable, and eliminates the financial burden of high listing fees
Soon we'll cautiously initiate the launch with a limited number of transactions allowing us to address any bugs or issues
Watchers and Guards will handle events, giving everyone a chance to view how the bridge operates before opening the UI to the public

Post-launch, Rosen saw an influx of activity. Unfortunately, this resulted in congestion on the Ergo to Cardano bridge, partly caused by a large number of Watchers with a relatively low permit count

💥 We're getting started to update Rosen to expand the Watcher sets.
Here's what to expect in the next few days! 👇

🛡️ Guards are a federated group of entities managing the Rosen core
We are proud to introduce our initial Guard set. These entities were selected from within the

🧑💻 As we move towards launch, this week our developers updated the following
▪️Implemented UI event page
▪️p2p node broker message logic
▪️Guard manual TX signing API
▪️Watcher Koios and improved logging
▪️Updated Cardano token IDs in codebase
👀 Watcher collateral requirements are set!
Each Watcher instance will be required to provide collateral* of
◾800 ERG and
◾30,000 RSN
As well as acquire a Permit** with a further 3,000 RSN
*Collateral is fully redeemable
**Permit can be seized for fraudulent reporting
The update that will increase the number of available network Watcher slots is ready and undergoing final testing
This will be a multistage update and if all goes well with testing, we will release it in the coming days!
