# Composable Finance

> Cross-chain DeFi infrastructure. Composing DeFi for mass adoption — any money, any chain,
> anywhere. Trustless, non-custodial interoperability powered by the first cross-ecosystem
> implementation of IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication).

Composable Finance builds the interoperability layer for decentralized finance. Its stack lets
developers create cross-chain applications from modular pallets that execute asynchronously
across ecosystems that were previously siloed or connected only through trusted, custodial
bridges.

## Core technology
- [XCVM — Cross-Chain Virtual Machine](https://composable.finance/xcvm): top-level orchestration layer for protocols that communicate across chains asynchronously.
- [Centauri](https://composable.finance/centauri): trustless IBC bridge; the first cross-ecosystem implementation of Inter-Blockchain Communication.
- [Picasso](https://composable.finance/picasso): the Composable parachain — settlement and proving ground for cross-chain pallets.

## Ecosystem & builders
- [Composable Labs](https://composable.finance/composable-labs): builds modular DeFi pallets other developers can reuse.
- [Grants](https://composable.finance/grants): funding and technical assistance for cross-chain builders.

## Key facts
- Principles: Composability, Trustless communication, Orchestration.
- IBC uses light clients and on-chain proofs — no custodian holds funds in transit.
- This is protocol/brand infrastructure, not a token presale or price-prediction site.
