Archway

Archway is an incentivized smart contract chain for Cosmos that allows developers to easily construct high-performance DApps while being compensated for the value they add to the network. Developers receive a proportional part of network fees and benefits when they create and launch effective DApps that generate usage on Archway. This shared income model allows DApps access to regular incentives while participating in the protocol's upside. According to Archway, it closely connects the incentives of developers and their DApp user communities with the wider ecosystem. Archway's technical architecture is geared toward a seamless developer experience and more inclusive incentives. For cross-language support, the protocol includes a full WebAssembly (Wasm) implementation, a Web3-compatible API, and native bridges that connect to other networks for cross-chain communication and asset transfers. Archway, built on Cosmos and with native integration of the Inter-Blockchain Communication protocol (IBC), enables the creation of scalable cross-chain DApps. Developers can launch their contracts directly to an established Proof-of-Stake (PoS) network and instantly connect to users, assets, and communities throughout the Cosmos ecosystem. This eliminates the need to spin up a new specialized chain.
