Dear Chaingers,

Today, we bring you a transparent and thrilling update on the transformative journey we are embarking on together. In recent days, we temporarily paused the Chainge app for essential maintenance, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and patience during this period.

This pause, signifies a pivotal moment in our shared trajectory — a moment of reflection, innovation, and preparation for the extraordinary future ahead. As we work diligently behind the scenes, rest assured that your funds remain verifiably secure at all times.

But, this maintenance is more than just a brief pause; it’s a grand leap into the next era of Chainge under new leadership:

In contemplating the current landscape of cross-chain tech, a crucial question arises: why does ensuring the security of a cross-chain service often lead to the centralization of cross-chain oracle services? Paradoxically, this centralization becomes the most significant obstacle in creating a truly decentralized cross-chain solution.

Chainge’s cross-chain technology is deeply rooted in Fusion’s DCRM technology, integrating secure multi-party computation and threshold signatures. Through collaborations with esteemed cryptographers and exhaustive engineering endeavors, Chainge has made substantial progress in its commercial exploration, achieving a delicate balance among security, liquidity, and decentralization.

Now, we embark on a crucial plan — to establish a decentralized cross-chain protocol that is impervious to halting. We have a notable advantage in this endeavor. Firstly, our team possesses an in-depth understanding of the underlying infrastructure of all chains, with extensive experience in offline signatures, transaction construction across diverse chains, and smart contract deployment. Secondly, our involvement in cross-chain technology has reached its seventh year since late 2017, providing us with a wealth of parameters for harmonizing security, liquidity, and decentralization in cross-chain transactions.

Our ultimate goal in cross-chain endeavors is to craft a protocol that is immune to shutdown, based on smart contracts or on-chain memos. We have the capability to achieve this, and we are actively implementing it. This initiative is the driving force behind the migration of all apps, dApps, and even our partners’ cross-chain APIs to version 2.0. Once this objective is realized, users will seamlessly conduct cross-chain interactions with EVM-compatible or non-EVM-compatible chains, without depending on our dApps or apps, directly interacting with on-chain smart contracts or memos.

As we work on achieving this vision, we’re thrilled to give you a sneak peek into what awaits you on the journey to Chainge 2.0

As we embark on this venture, we would also like to share that we have ambitious plans on the horizon, including substantial incoming investment. This investment will fortify our commitment to creating a decentralized cross-chain protocol that withstands the test of time.

We look forward to the approaching day when all of the above become a reality and greatly appreciate everyone’s patience while we build the needed infrastructural basis.

Furthermore, as we understand that this temporary pause may raise questions and we appreciate your concern, we will be hosting an AMA session where you can directly engage with Dejun Qian, Chainge CEO and board member. Your questions, thoughts, and insights are invaluable to us, and we look forward to this opportunity for open dialogue.
