LandslideCore is based on Tendermint 0.34.19, released on April 8, 2022.
Landslide is a game-changing IBC bridge to Avalanche, designed to enable seamless interoperability between Avalanche, Cosmos, and other IBC-enabled chains. Our core mission is to bring forth a new era of cross-chain DeFi operations, scalability, and user experience.
By implementing the necessary ABCI calls, Landslide Core enables developers to connect their existing Cosmos dApps to the Avalanche network. This opens doors to faster finality times and IBC compatibility.
Avalanche's consensus protocol offers a slew of benefits:
- Improved User Experience: Faster finality times enable quick trades and seamless interactions.
- Increased Liquidity: Landslide can process more transactions per second, contributing to a more robust market.
- Reduced Risk of Liquidations: Quick finality minimizes cascading liquidations during market volatility.
- Enhanced Arbitrage Opportunities: Faster transactions enable efficient cross-chain arbitrage.
Deploying an outpost on Avalanche is a strategic move that not only improves user experience but also contributes to the overall growth and success of Cosmos.
The IBC protocol offers seamless interoperability, enabling Avalanche to interact securely and efficiently with Cosmos and other IBC-enabled chains. This enables:
- Cross-chain DeFi operations
- Smooth asset and data transfers
Cosmos's scalability is limited by its consensus algorithm, Tendermint. Although rollups could solve throughput issues, they introduce security compromises. Avalanche and CosmosSDK together unlock scalable solutions in various applications, including metaverse and gaming.
The Landslide Network aims to:
- Connect Natively to IBC: Enable native transfers of all IBC-connected tokens.
- Decrease Transaction Finality: Reduce transaction finality time to under 1 second.
- Leverage Trading Opportunities: Capitalize on fast-paced trading environments.
- CosmosSDK Compatibility: 100% compatible with Cosmos-based SDK.
To run a local Landslide network, follow these steps:
- Use avalanche-cli to set up an instance of Subnet-EVM on a local Avalanche network.
