Hello Cardano Community,

Exciting times ahead! Here’s what we’ve been up to in May:

‍

About Vista Foundation
Since our first newsletter, many have asked, "What is the Vista Foundation?" After the successful funding of the VISTA Bridge, the Vista Foundation was formed. Created as a nonprofit organization, the Vista Foundation is dedicated to the maintenance and enhancement of the VISTA Bridge. Our mission is to ensure the bridge's ongoing reliability and effectiveness, supporting seamless interoperability within the Cardano ecosystem.

New Website Launch

Going along with the formation of the Vista Foundation we’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new website, vistabridge.org! Here you'll find comprehensive documentation on VISTA Bridge and keep up-to-date with our ongoing and upcoming proposals.

New Milestone Reached!
This month, we’ve achieved a pivotal milestone with the submission of our VISTA Design and Architecture Documentation. Our goal is to establish a bridged sidechain ecosystem for the Cardano network that extends beyond Cardano-based chains. The initial design and architecture documentation, alongside a developmental roadmap, lay the groundwork for future modules.

‍

Milestone Outputs:

• VISTA Protocol Design Documentation: Detailed documentation outlining our protocol design and architecture vision, providing a foundation for the development roadmap.
• GitHub and YouTube Progress Updates: We're actively sharing our progress through YouTube videos and GitHub repositories related to both the design documentation and ongoing module development.

Fund 12 Has Launched!

As many of you know, Project Catalyst’s Fund 12 has officially kicked off, and we at Vista are excited to continue contributing to the Cardano ecosystem with two innovative proposals aimed at enhancing interoperability and community engagement.

1. VISTA-IBC Codebase: Supporting Cardano-Cosmos Interoperability
   With this proposal, we aim to solidify the infrastructure needed for robust cross-chain communication between Cardano and Cosmos. Enhancing this interoperability is crucial for building a more connected and accessible blockchain network.

2. VISTA: Into the Cosmoverse
   This proposal is dedicated to bridging Cardano with the wider blockchain cosmos, promoting a fluid exchange of value and ideas. We believe this bridge will foster stronger connections and facilitate shared technological advancements.

We are eager to share more updates next month and see these projects come to life and make a significant impact on the blockchain landscape. Your support and feedback are essential as we pursue these ambitious goals. Join us in shaping the future of Cardano and beyond!
