Acala Network is launching a new technology roadmap that lays out the steps needed to provide multi-chain services to users.

Acala, the foundational platform of the Polkadot ecosystem, unveils the Sinai upgrade, a significant advancement in its Acala 2.0 initiative aimed at broadening the horizons of the overall crypto-finance landscape. This upgrade is set to strengthen the platform’s multi-chain capabilities, setting a new standard for decentralized finance (DeFi) not only on Polkadot, but across layer 1, 2 or 3 blockchain networks.

Multichain integration and improved DeFi accessibility

The cornerstone of Sinai’s upgrade is its focus on multichain integration, which promotes seamless interactions across diverse blockchain environments. Acala radically simplifies the user multichain experience by introducing advanced one-click multichain cross-stack DeFi capabilities. This feature leverages pioneering technologies including Cross-Consensus Messaging (XCM) and Wormhole to enable simple and efficient cross-chain transactions. Users can easily engage in activities such as staking, liquidity provisioning, and lending on major blockchain platforms such as Polkadot, Ethereum, Solana, and some blockchain networks.

Empowering communities through open governance

Further strengthening the ecosystem, Acala is introducing an open governance upgrade, allowing the community to participate directly in governance decisions. This democratizes the ecosystem evolution process, allowing users to influence financial management, DEX listings, etc., creating a transparent and inclusive community environment.

Security and performance at the forefront

The Sinai upgrade also addresses critical requirements for security in an expanding multichain environment. sentinel launch,

Enhanced security and increased transaction throughput along with asynchronous support ensures that Acala remains at the cutting edge of blockchain performance.
