Existing Ecosystems

Already launched a chain?

Thanks to Canopy's permissionless interoperability — existing ecosystems like Ethereum may benefit from a Canopy Side-Chain.

→ Enhance your chain, without any change to the core protocol:

  • Add new features:

    • Security extensions

      • Validator QOS

      • Chain Halt Fallback

      • Dispute resolution

    • Scalability extensions

      • Lightning Network

      • Sharding Network

      • Side-car deployment

    • Oracle services

      • Chain state reporting

      • Off-chain validation

    • + more

  • Interoperate and cross-pollinate:

    • Validators and node-runners

    • Developers and delegators

    • Tooling and frameworks

  • Govern:

    • Cross-chain voting

    • Account and Validator straw-polling

  • Liquidity:

    • Utilize token swaps to connect your community with USDC & USDT

    • Create wrapped assets to bridge into the Canopy ecosystem

Ecosystem Locked

If your project is suffering from ecosystem lock — position your community for the best chance of success and switch to Canopy:

  • Migrate once and never again

  • Crawl - Walk - Run by with composable side-chains

  • Secure your system with the TLV of a Security Root without VC backing

  • Be flexible: start Nested like an L2 — graduate to an L1 — pay it forward and be a Security Root

  • Diversify your community with recursive tokenomics
