Q2 Recap: The Quarter Analog Went From Infrastructure to Ecosystem

Zenswap

We launched Zenswap in June as the first omnichain DEX routed entirely through Analog’s GMP and @circle's CCTP. No wrapped assets.

No bridges. Just real trades, across chains, settled natively on Timechain. Zenswap brought two key ideas to life: one, that cross-chain liquidity can be efficient and trust-minimized, and two, that cross chain execution should be programmable, just like smart contracts are on a single chain.

But if Zenswap was about liquidity movement, OATS was about token identity.

Omnichain Analog Token Standard

The Omnichain Analog Token Standard (OATS) gives tokens native portability across chains, while maintaining their state, supply, and governance logic.

No need for external bridges or synthetic mirrors. Every action, minting, burning, transferring is validated and timestamped by the Timechain. And because it’s secured through MPC and Chronicle Nodes, the guarantees are both cryptographic and economic.

Analog EVM

To support broader adoption, we also began our EVM compatibility move.

This opens up Analog’s cross chain infrastructure to the entire Ethereum ecosystem.

Builders can now deploy and interact with GMP, OATS, and Zenswap using Solidity, making it easy to bring existing dApps into a cross-chain world without rewriting core logic.

Staking

Security and economic alignment came next. In Q2, we launched native staking for $ANLOG. This is more than a yield mechanism, it’s the backbone of Timechain’s security model.

Validators must stake to participate in consensus, and can be slashed for malicious or lazy behavior. That means every cross chain execution is backed by real economic skin in the game.

Real World Assets

And while these protocol releases were critical, Q2 also marked our formal entry into the RWA space. Enter @Firestarter_fun.

RWAs like real estate, commodities, and invoices don’t just need to be tokenized, they need to be composable.

That requires infrastructure that can handle asset movement, governance, and execution across multiple chains. With OATS and Zenswap we now have the tooling to support a functioning RWA market that moves beyond static representations which has culminated into our creation of @Firestarter_fun, the new generation launchpad for RWA tokens.

So what’s next?

In Q3, we’ll shift our focus to deepening the ecosystem. That means integrating OATS across all Analog-native products, including Zenswap and Firestarter. It means enabling new launches through our token standard.

And it means delivering the first iterations of governance, where $ANLOG holders help steer the protocol’s evolution.

We’ll also begin early work on a native, omnichain stablecoin, one that can serve as a unit of account across the entire Analog network, and become the default currency for cross-chain liquidity.

This next phase is less about showcasing infrastructure and more about activating it.

With Zenswap live, Firestarter in the works, staking deployed, OATS in motion, and EVM compatibility unlocked, the foundation is here. Now it’s time to scale it, populate it, and govern it.

Analog isn’t just building connectivity. We’re designing the default state of liquidity in Web3: unified, programmable, and omnichain by default.

Q2 proved we can build it. Q3 is where we show what it’s for.
