Coinbase-led Rosetta, an open-source set of tools to help developers integrate other blockchains into their services, just got a new signup: Neo, a blockchain platform that is itself focused on interoperability.
Neo integrates with #Rosetta, an open-source project led by Coinbase. We look forward to work together with Rosetta improving protocol integration processes in order to build the next-gen Internet.https://t.co/Nl8nF3OW4G
Rosetta, which launched on June 17, is a standardization tool to make it easier for blockchains to speak to each other. Each blockchain is different, making it difficult and time-consuming for crypto project developers to integrate other blockchains.
“The process requires careful analysis of the unique aspects of each blockchain and extensive communication with its developers to understand the best strategies to deploy nodes, recognize deposits, and broadcast transactions,” wrote Neo in a blog post today. “Project developers spend countless hours answering similar support questions for each team integrating their blockchain, rather than spending time working on their blockchain.”
Popular San Francisco-based crypto exchange Coinbase has released Rosetta, a toolkit designed to make blockchain integration simpler and more effective, especially for exchanges working with new tokens.
In a blog post, Coinbase stated that Rosetta will be available starting today for digital currency exchanges and blockchain developers alike.
With the number of blockchains increasing—and with each blockchain featuring unique specifications—exchanges have to take time and care when integrating w...
It’s theoretically easier for crypto companies to integrate a blockchain that adheres to Rosetta’s framework, since they roughly know how such a blockchain works.
That’s good for everyone. It’s beneficial for the blockchain’s developers, who want to get their blockchain’s coin listed on exchanges and integrated with other services. And it’s also beneficial for those integrating another blockchain, since they can improve their own products with new services.
Today, then, things got a lot easier for Neo, a Chinese blockchain platform started by Da Hongfei and Erik Zhang in 2014. Neo focuses on crypto trading, digital identity and smart contracts—it’s a little like Ethereum. It’s also one of the founding members of PolyNetwork, a blockchain interoperability platform, and runs an interoperable DeFi platform, Flamingo.
Despite the Rosetta integration, however, Coinbase has still not listed Neo’s coin as the exchange requires a coin to overcome several regulatory hurdles.
After today’s announcement, Neo’s price shot up 6%, though it likely wasn't related to the news; most top coins had similarly rosy days. Its current price is $18.23, according to data from metrics site CoinMarketCap.

Will Solana token launchpad Pump.fun drop its own token? According to a major crypto exchange, the platform is planning to do so later this week—though the page detailing the potentially $600 million sale has since been pulled.
According to a page on crypto exchange Gate that was apparently removed following substantial social media attention, Pump.fun is gearing up to offer its PUMP token for sale starting July 12.
Per the now-deleted page, Pump.fun and Gate will offer 150 billion PUMP in a pub...
Publicly traded firms Semler Scientific and Metaplanet both bought more Bitcoin on Monday, adding to their already large holdings even as Bitcoin treasury trend-setter Strategy paused its purchases.
Semler, a firm that develops products for treatment and detection of chronic disease, bought 187 Bitcoin for $20 million. Japanese investment firm Metaplanet snagged 2,205 BTC for nearly $239 million.
Semler now holds 4,636 BTC worth more than $500 million while Metaplanet’s treasury has grown to 15...
A proposal backed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin would introduce restrictions on the amount of computational work individual transactions can command, strengthening the network against potential attacks and support more advanced forms of cryptography.
The proposal, dubbed EIP-7983, was co-authored by Ethereum Foundation Researcher Toni Wahrstaetter and recommends a so-called gas limit of 16,777,216 gas. Currently, Ethereum has a per-block gas limit of around 36 million, with no gas limit...
