Converge 2025 Roadmap: High-speed, secure, low-cost connection between RWA and Decentralized Finance in the future

Converge, a project based on tokenization products co-launched by Ethena Labs and Securitize, recently released its roadmap, aiming to become the infrastructure for on-chain finance, facilitating the integration of billions of dollars in institutional capital with Decentralized Finance (DeFi), and achieving the large-scale on-chainization of real-world assets (RWA).

The three core principles reveal the design blueprint of Converge.

The official announcement from Converge shows that its technical architecture is built upon three core principles:

Industry-leading high-performance EVM

The initial block time of the Converge network is only 100 milliseconds, and it plans to further compress it to 50 milliseconds in the fourth quarter of this year. The initial throughput reaches 100 Mgas/s, with a goal of achieving Gigagas/s performance leap within the next year.

User Experience Design Optimization

Converge supports USDe and USDtb as native gas tokens, simplifying the trading process and lowering the threshold. By introducing account abstraction technologies like ERC-7702, it enhances user convenience in transaction authorization and gas management.

CVN Institutional-Level Security Defense Line

The brand new Converge validator network (CVN) uses the ENA staking mechanism (sENA), providing security and compliance assurance without the need to introduce new Tokens, while maintaining decentralized characteristics, specifically designed to handle institutional funds and RWA.

How can Converge move towards a future of speed, security, and openness?

Mainnet launch in Q2 2025, minimizing transaction costs.

In terms of network performance, Converge expects to launch its mainnet in the second quarter of this year, and plans to enhance performance by tenfold this year through mini-block streaming (, thread and node optimization.

Utilizing Arbitrum's scaling technology and Celestia's data availability layer, it achieves the goal of maintaining low-cost transactions below 1 cent even during network congestion or resource-intensive transactions, providing developers and users with highly attractive economic conditions.

Simplify cross-chain asset operations, attracting institutions with low thresholds.

In terms of simplifying user experience, Converge supports a coexistence environment for RWA and DeFi applications, allowing for one-click import of on-chain and off-chain assets:

By collaborating with interoperability protocols such as LayerZero or Wormhole, as well as custodians like Copper and Fireblocks, we support cross-chain assets from other networks like Ethereum or Solana, lowering the entry barrier for users and funds.

Multilingual development support, open developer ecosystem

Converge will also integrate the Arbitrum Stylus upgrade and the EtherealDex application-specific chain, supporting smart contract development in Solidity, Rust, C, and C++, allowing developers to build tailored financial applications:

This not only expands the boundaries of DeFi applications and reduces a significant amount of computational costs, but also attracts more development resources to converge in the ecosystem.

Validator Network )CVN(: A protective layer tailored for institutional investors

The CVN mechanism of Converge is committed to providing solid security and compliance guarantees:

ENA Staking Mechanism: Provides security protection through sENA, without the need to issue new tokens.

Institutional-grade compliance framework: supports physical asset verification and compliance processes, tailored to meet the needs of large asset management.

Flexible permission control: The main chain adopts a permissionless model, while providing more granular permission management for specific applications.

Partner Assistance: Bridging Traditional and Decentralized Worlds

Converge also brings together the power of top DeFi protocols and traditional finance:

Arbitrum: Provides underlying performance and scaling technology.

Celestia: As a data availability layer, reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Conduit: G2 sequencer support, enabling high-speed block generation.

LayerZero, Wormhole, Copper, Fireblocks: Achieving cross-chain interoperability and asset custody.

From on-chain to reality: Converge accelerates the deep integration of Decentralized Finance and RWA

By supporting RWA tokens like BlackRock's BUIDL, Converge has become an ideal entry point for institutional investors. Its native stablecoins USDe and USDtb not only enhance liquidity but also mitigate market volatility.

The high-performance architecture, low-cost environment, and developer-friendly policies provided by Converge aim to collaboratively build a scalable, stable, and attractive on-chain financial infrastructure.

The testnet is about to go live, fully opening a new era of on-chain finance.

The officials finally revealed that Converge will launch a testnet in the coming weeks, allowing developers and users to experience its features and architecture in advance. After the mainnet is launched, more details about collaborations and application plans will be announced.

Ethena Labs and Securitize are committed to making Converge one of the world's largest financial application blockchains, promoting the large-scale entry of institutional funds and achieving true integration of blockchain and traditional finance.
