Tanssi has officially launched its mainnet, marking a significant leap forward in decentralized infrastructure development. The platform enables instant deployment of customizable appchains, promising to slash development timelines from months to minutes. With over 57 million transactions processed across three testnets and 18,000 registered appchains, Tanssi arrives with solid proof of demand and technical resilience.
As the need for specialized, compliant, and high-performance infrastructure grows—particularly in fintech and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs)—Tanssi positions itself as a foundational layer for rapid, secure, and tailored blockchain deployments.
The Urgent Need for Plug-and-Play Blockchain Infrastructure
The rise of tokenized RWAs—projected to surpass $17 billion in value by mid-2025—and the expected $3 trillion in annual digital payments by 2028 signal a critical infrastructure inflection point. Fintech firms and asset tokenizers must enter markets quickly, comply with diverse regulatory demands, and ensure robust security.
Tanssi’s mainnet responds directly to these pressures, offering instant appchain deployment, customizable compliance features, and Symbiotic-backed security currently protecting over $350 million in assets.
“Web3 has always held the promise of transforming our financial and governance systems,” said Francisco Agosti, CEO of Tanssi. “But building your own chain has been complex and expensive. With Tanssi, we’re removing those barriers.”
Beyond Layer-1s and Rollups: Why Appchains Still Matter
Early infrastructure solutions like Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche gave developers general-purpose blockchains to build on. However, launching a dedicated appchain often took up to nine months, required assembling validator sets, setting up RPC nodes, explorers, wallets, and coordinating audits—costing developers time and money.
Layer-2 rollups eased some pain points, lowering costs and enhancing throughput. But they introduced new complications, especially for regulated applications:
- Performance Bottlenecks: Congestion and variable transaction finality expose fintechs to regulatory and operational risk.
- Limited Customization: Rollups lack built-in KYC/AML frameworks and force developers to bolt on middleware, increasing complexity and cost.
- Inflexible Governance: Rollups restrict validator permissions, fee control, and upgrade paths—deal-breakers for institutional-grade use cases.
These shortcomings have slowed innovation and increased launch costs for projects in banking, payments, RWAs, and compliance-heavy sectors.
How Tanssi Delivers a New Appchain Paradigm
Tanssi bridges the gap between affordability and customizability, combining the best of rollup simplicity with the autonomy and compliance flexibility of dedicated chains. Key features include:
- Instant Appchain Deployment: Launch a decentralized, Ethereum-secured chain in minutes using intuitive EVM and Substrate templates.
- Pre-Built Infrastructure: Oracles, wallets, indexers, and sequencers are integrated out-of-the-box, eliminating DevOps overhead.
- Ethereum-Grade Security: Backed by Symbiotic staking ($350M+), Tanssi ensures immediate, decentralized trust without setting up validator networks.
- Tailored Compliance Tools: Developers can embed KYC/AML, fee mechanisms, and audit logging directly—without third-party middleware.
- Deterministic Finality in 12 Seconds: Predictable settlements help reduce regulatory and operational uncertainty.
- Native Cross-Chain Interoperability: With Snowbridge and XCM, assets can flow securely between chains, minus centralized intermediaries.
These features make Tanssi attractive to startups and enterprises alike, allowing developers to focus on innovation instead of infrastructure bottlenecks.
Market Momentum and Ecosystem Validation
Tanssi’s mainnet launch follows robust traction from its testnet phase:
- 57 million+ transactions processed
- 18,000+ appchains registered
- 2,400+ fully deployed chains
- Community of over 300,000 participants
Projects already preparing to go live on Tanssi’s mainnet span sectors from fintech to media:
- Wirex: A global crypto payments platform used by over 5 million customers with $20B+ in transaction volume.
- BLOCKBR: A Brazil-based fintech offering tokenized asset infrastructure with $110M+ in total value tokenized.
- BRX Network: A compliance-first credit and investment platform handling ~$3M in monthly volume.
- Bluegreen: A stablecoin payments platform in Latin America, with over $150M processed across 5 million transactions.
- Estúdios Flow: Brazil’s largest digital media group, leveraging Tanssi to onboard its 23M-strong Web2 audience into Web3.
- AmFi: Brazil’s first regulated platform for digital fixed-income products, with $86M tokenized and 740+ investment opportunities.
Strategic Support and Vision for the Future
Tanssi’s development has been spearheaded by Moondance Labs and the Tanssi Foundation, with over $10 million raised from prominent backers. These include:
- Arrington Capital
- HashKey Capital
- Fenbushi Capital
- Borderless
- Wormhole Cross-Chain Fund
- SNZ, KR1, Hypersphere, Jsquare
- Scytale
- Polkadot co-founder Gavin Wood
- Moonbeam founder Derek Yoo
- Parity co-founder Robert Habermeier
Their collective endorsement reflects confidence in Tanssi’s mission to democratize blockchain deployment and enhance Ethereum’s modularity.
What Comes Next: Community Governance and Token Utility
With the mainnet now live, Tanssi plans to incrementally roll out advanced features, including staking and decentralized governance. These steps will empower token holders to secure the network and participate in protocol decision-making—further decentralizing control and enhancing resilience.
As Web3 evolves toward application-specific blockchains with sector-specific compliance needs, Tanssi offers a future-proof path forward. By reducing launch timelines and infrastructure complexity, it enables founders and enterprises to innovate at speed—whether they’re building digital banks, tokenized real estate platforms, or global stablecoin systems.
Infrastructure No Longer the Bottleneck
Tanssi’s launch signals a pivotal shift for Web3. Infrastructure is no longer a hurdle for bold ideas. Instead of waiting months and spending millions, developers can now deploy production-ready, secure, and compliant appchains in a matter of minutes.
As Francisco Agosti aptly put it, “With Tanssi, the infrastructure gets out of your way. You can focus on what really matters—your users and your product.”
