Trust-minimized, cross-chain liquidity provision from @babylonlabs_io to a @Uniswap pool on Ethereum. This is the kind of program you can deploy out of the box with Valence.

Last week @neutron_org transitioned to its "dICS" configuration, which integrates the chain's proof of stake, liquid staking, money market, and DEX functions into a self-reinforcing liquidity network.
Neutron's first act as a sovereign blockchain was to deploy $20M of the chain's capital into its own Valence program, activating the flywheel.

Neutron's dICS program is composed of Valence libraries that hold, split, forward, deposit, and withdraw funds, all encoded as trustless smart contracts.
With a simple configuration, the program defines actions such as:
• liquid staking $NTRN with @dropdotmoney
• pairing NTRN/dNTRN at a dynamically determined ratio to LP
• gradually LPing into @astroport_fi pools over a 16 week interval
• conditionally retrying actions, and fully unwinding positions if unmet

I do not have an opinion as to whether the should Hub move forward with the acquisition.

Valence programs are made of 4 primitives:

What if you only want to transport an asset IF something happens?

What if you want a persistent strategy, not a one-time transaction?
Valence solves this by enabling programmable interoperability across blockchains

To minimize trust, strategists are tightly permissioned by the Authorization contract.

These problems aren't edge cases.

The proliferation of blockchains has increased demand for blockchain interoperability. Programmable cross-chain automation is inevitable

Remember Valence accounts? (if not, see the QT)
Valence libraries contain the business logic that can be applied to the funds held by Valence accounts.
Usually, this logic is about performing operations on tokens, such as splitting, routing, or providing liquidity on a DEX.
Most blockchains define their own standard for accounts — how assets are held, messages are sent, and ownership is tracked.
This makes building apps across multiple chains painful.
Valence fixes this. Here's how 🧵

Originally, we built Valence just to make our own cross-chain work easier.
But we realized that these primitives unlock a massive new design space—for systems that simply can’t exist in a single-chain world.
So we pivoted: from app → platform.
