After a year of running it for paying customers, here is what worked, what broke, and what we changed.Tue, 26 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTopsproductionretroA field guide to cross-chain finality modelshttps://switchboard.cryptuon.com/blog/cross-chain-finality-field-guide/https://switchboard.cryptuon.com/blog/cross-chain-finality-field-guide/Probabilistic, economic, deterministic, sequenced, light-client: the cross-chain industry uses 'finality' to mean five different things. Here is what they actually mean and how Switchboard picks between them.Fri, 15 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTfinalityarchitecturebackgroundGas math: why batched coordinator commits beat per-message bridgeshttps://switchboard.cryptuon.com/blog/gas-math-batched-coordinator/https://switchboard.cryptuon.com/blog/gas-math-batched-coordinator/Most cross-chain stacks charge you per-message gas on the destination. Switchboard batches commits at the coordinator. Here is the math, including when the batching actually loses.Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 GMTeconomicsgasarchitectureThe case for Solana as a coordinator (and when it isn't)https://switchboard.cryptuon.com/blog/solana-as-coordinator-tradeoffs/https://switchboard.cryptuon.com/blog/solana-as-coordinator-tradeoffs/Why Switchboard puts its coordinator program on Solana, what that costs us, and the specific scenarios where the choice is wrong.Tue, 21 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMTarchitecturesolanadesignBuilding a real-time cross-chain orderbook with Switchboardhttps://switchboard.cryptuon.com/blog/building-cross-chain-orderbook/https://switchboard.cryptuon.com/blog/building-cross-chain-orderbook/A practical walkthrough of a perp-style orderbook that quotes on three chains and settles atomically across all of them, using Switchboard for state coordination.Sun, 12 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMTtutorialorderbookperpsWormhole guardians vs the single-clock modelhttps://switchboard.cryptuon.com/blog/wormhole-guardians-vs-single-clock/https://switchboard.cryptuon.com/blog/wormhole-guardians-vs-single-clock/Wormhole's 19-guardian quorum and Switchboard's single Solana coordinator are two answers to the same question.
