Picasso Network is a Layer-1 blockchain focused on cross-chain interoperability and DeFi infrastructure, designed to enable seamless asset transfers and message passing across multiple ecosystems using an IBC-style communication layer. It aims to provide a trust-minimized foundation for connecting networks and building applications that can access liquidity and functionality beyond a single chain.
Picasso’s architecture centers on the idea of “IBC everywhere”: acting as a routing and coordination layer for cross-chain interactions, while supporting a DeFi-friendly environment where protocols and dApps can compose across networks. By combining interoperability primitives with staking-based security and on-chain coordination, Picasso positions itself as an infrastructure layer for scalable, multi-chain Web3 applications.
Key features of Picasso Network include:
-
Cross-Chain Interoperability (IBC-style): A communication framework for transferring assets and relaying messages between different blockchain ecosystems in a standardized way.
-
Trust-Minimized Bridging: Cross-chain transfers secured through verifiable, protocol-level mechanisms that reduce reliance on centralized intermediaries.
-
Restaking-Oriented Security: A staking-based model designed to extend economic security to additional networks, modules, or services.
-
DeFi Infrastructure: Core DeFi primitives and ecosystem tooling that help developers build cross-chain liquidity and trading experiences.
Token Utility (PICA): A network token used for protocol participation such as fees, staking/security, and governance.
