Introduction

Blockchain technology has transformed the way humans interact, enabling secure, transparent, and decentralized transactions without the need for intermediaries. However, the siloed nature of blockchain networks limits cross-chain interaction, thereby creating a complex and fragmented experience for users. Push Chain represents a coordinated and innovative approach to solving this problem.

Push Chain is a shared-state L1 blockchain designed to support universal apps that provide shared experiences for users interacting from any chain. Built on principles of chain abstraction, it provides a settlement layer that allows seamless interaction between EVM and non-EVM compatible chains, enabling truly universal experiences for users.

With Push Chain, any user can interact on any chain, using any app. This is exciting for both users and builders alike because it ushers in a wave of truly consumer-focused apps accessible to both previously unreachable and entirely new users. In the following sections, we will examine some of the exciting ways Push Chain can be used and what this means for the future of web3.

Potential use cases of Push Chain

Unified DEXes

Push Chain can be used to power unified chain-agnostic DEXes, that allow users to carry out swaps with tokens on different chains. Under the hood, Push Chain relayer nodes will work to enable transmission of transaction payloads across networks, while users enjoy a seamless experience on the surface. Push Chain can support the development of DEXes (like Uniswap) that allow users to execute swaps between tokens on different chains (e.g., Ethereum and Solana) in one go. This would improve user experience and reduce the complexity involved in executing transactions.

Universal Web3 Socials

With Push Chain we can build truly universal web3 social apps that allow interaction between users existing on any chain. Imagine a shift from existing solutions like Farcaster, to platforms where users from different chains can all interact in one social app. Web3 socials would no longer be segmented by chain and everyone will have access to the same content and social circles without restrictions. Specifically, Push ID (a unique user hash key) can make this possible by allowing cross-platform identification of web3 users.

Universal AI Agents

Push Chain enables AI-powered automations that function across blockchains. Its highly scalable and efficient network design provides an optimal infrastructure layer for on-chain AI. With Push Chain, we can see the rise of chain-agnostic AI-agents that carry out diverse automations and custom workflows across different chains. Think of a singular AI agent capable of managing a DeFi portfolio on Ethereum, bidding for NFTs on BNB chain and trading perps on Solana. This will be made possible with Push Chain.

Unified Web3 Gaming

Push Chain changes the web3 gaming landscape by providing a settlement layer that enables seamless game-asset transfers, in-game NFT usage and unified tournaments across chains. Using Push Chain, developers can build games where players on Ethereum, Solana and other chains can play together. For instance, your favorite blockchain game which is built on Ethereum can leverage Push Chain’s interoperability to enable participation from players across various chains.

Universal DeFi Apps

Push Chains universal settlement layer can be leveraged by DeFi applications in order to operate as liquidity hubs, aggregating assets from multiple chains, enabling users to lend and borrow assets without chain-specific constraints. Imagine an Aave-like application leveraging Push Chain to tap into deep liquidity from different chains, providing universal liquidity pools that users from different chains can easily access.

Getting started with building on Push Chain

Push welcomes builders of next-generation consumer apps to build on Push Chain. If you are looking to build on Push Chain there are several ways for you to get involved:

• Testnet Launch: The Push Chain Testnet is set to launch soon. Subscribe to the Push Mailing list to get instantly notified when the Testnet is live. With Testnet, developers can begin simulating and exploring Push Chain’s capabilities pending mainnet launch.

• Push Chain Grants: A Push Chain grants program is currently in the works. However, feel free to drop an email at team@push.org with the subject line as “Grant MEOW” and your app idea—and your application will be given priority consideration when the grants program launches.

• Push Chain Whitepaper: You can find all relevant technical information about Push Chain in the whitepaper here. You can also visit the Push Chain Knowledge Base for more insightful breakdowns.

Push Chain Community: Follow Push Protocol and Push DAO on Twitter, Discord, and other social media platforms to get the latest updates on Push Chain.

About Push DAOPush DAO is the community that governs drives and shapes the future of Push protocol through grants, community building and ecosystem development to expand the open communication layer that allows any crypto wallet/frontend to tap into the Push network and get any communication across. The Push DAO Council addresses and executes the vision of the DAO, introducing multiple programs for contributors and builders to participate in paddling together toward greater progressive decentralization.
