Picasso: the Composable parachain
The environment where our cross-chain primitives are built, tested, and settled — a chain purpose-built for interoperable DeFi.
Picasso is Composable Finance's parachain — the environment where our cross-chain primitives are built, tested, and settled. It is the home for the modular pallets that power the rest of the stack, giving builders a purpose-built chain for interoperable DeFi.
A chain built for composability
Rather than forcing cross-chain logic onto a general-purpose chain, Picasso is optimized for the pallets and primitives Composable develops. New modules — bridging, orchestration, messaging — are deployed here first, where they can be composed and reused by other teams.
Picasso and the wider stack
Picasso is where Centauri's trustless IBC connections terminate and where the Cross-Chain Virtual Machine (XCVM) coordinates execution. It is the settlement layer that ties the core elements of Composable Finance together.
Build on Picasso
Teams building cross-chain applications can deploy pallets to Picasso and tap into Composable's grants and the work of Composable Labs.
