Converge blockchain, scheduled to launch in Q2 2025, aims to bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi) by supporting permissionless DeFi applications and permissioned institutional products. The network will leverage Arbitrum and Celestia for high performance and low latency, with Ethena’s USDe and USDtb stablecoins powering gas fees. This innovation promises to merge DeFi with institutional finance seamlessly.
