All insights

Long reading on how the chain behaves. Every post here is a mechanism explanation written from the documentation, with the source lines printed in the post.

  1. A swap outside a pool takes two transactions

    Moving one CenterChain denom into another outside a liquidity pool is an authorization plus a settlement. Here are the two messages, the five properties that make them hold, and the three attacks they do not stop.

  2. One function decides every send

    Bank sends, NFT sends and swap settlement all reach the same function on CenterChain. This is what it checks, in what order, and what it deliberately does not check.

What this collection is

Every post names the documentation lines it is written from, inside the post. A post that cannot cite a line is not published here.

The date on a post is the day it was written. The reading time is the post's word count divided by 200, rounded up, with a floor of one minute. Both are computed when the site is built.

No post announces a release, and no post promises a date. The one public network today iscenterchain-testnet-1 and its tokens carry no value, so nothing here reads as a statement about a network that carries real value.
