.@flashnet’s cross-chain swaps depend on winning the wallet quote race
Fynd returns the best price in 82% of those races (with ~58ms solves)
Flashnet stays reliable while other aggregator APIs hit a rate-limit
here's @foflexity on how Flashnet uses Fynd

QUDO is building some really exciting infrastructure for web3 gaming!
We’ve been part of the Telos Network since 2020, actively supporting its growth. In addition to being Block Producers, we’ve been developing QUDO, a project that runs on the Telos testnet and is about to launch on the Telos mainnet. As Block Producers, we have real ‘skin in the game’, ensuring the scalability, speed, and security of the network for QUDO and other projects.
Recently, we’ve upgraded our Telos Block Producer with:
🔹 Leap Version Upgrade – For security and optimized performance.
🔹 Enhanced Seed Node – For greater network stability and accessibility.
If you share our vision, please consider voting for blockbastrds as a Telos Block Producer. Your support will help us continue supporting the Telos network while strengthening the @HelloTelos ecosystem! 💪

Telos is now Stargate-powered.
Stargate’s Hydra has been deployed, connecting Telos to a unified liquidity network of 70+ chains (and counting).
Telos now taps into deep cross-chain liquidity, giving users access to the lowest-cost transfers in DeFi. Builders gain access to Bridged standard compliant assets like USDC, USDT, and WETH.
Welcome to the Omnichain.

Eth Denver take away - there is a ton of infrastructure, god knows how many L1s and L2s offering much of the same thing. It’s going to be a very hard road for networks, unless you’re bringing something unique for users and apps.
The TelosX 🔁 Telos connection is that unique flywheel for users and apps.
With many more apps than years past, grants are drying up and funding is becoming more competitive - we can onboard apps into telosx as they launch in the network and avoid an incredible hurdle in costs/ time for CeX listings. Apps often spend much of their capital to get a listing - and prioritize over onboarding users. It’s a vicious cycle for app founders. Launch & List..
For new users - onboarding often comes through a CEX - telosx will be the on-ramp for new users, and when they graduate to decentralized ecosystems, the telos network is next step in the user flow.
It’s a bold vision - but without one, you will not survive in this space.
