Good projects are built on good tooling. In the case of the Peggy Cosmos <-> Ethereum bridge developer tooling is a particularly complex problem. If you want to test Peggy end to end you need to build and deploy a full software stack for two different blockchains. For the experienced this represents hours of setup work, for the inexperienced this is an unassailable barrier to contribution. For this reason we've invested a large amount of work in test tooling for Peggy including an all up inte
75% of the cost of your transfer across the bridge is a simple state update in an ERC20 contract. We manage to fit all the hashing and verifications for 125 signatures into 25% of the cost!
A new relay is born, our networks grew 34% between March and April We've been extraordinarily busy working on COVID rapid response [https://blog.althea.net/rapid-connectivity-response/] and the Peggy [https://blog.althea.net/defi-enabled-ethereum-bridge-for-cosmos/] Ethereum to Cosmos bridge.

We want to begin by sincerely thanking all our validators and community members who have supported our project through many months! TL;DR * In 2019, we successfully completed the testing of our custom transaction library and Althea testnets 1-4. * In late 2019, we began work on the design and evaluation of the "Peggy" ethereum-to-cosmos bridge. * In early 2020, we arrived at an improved Peggy design that meets all of our needs. However that is when COVID-19 hit. * Since COVID-19,
DeFi investment is just another set of rules and automation for the bridge. Not a giant leap in technology, but instead, of perspective.
Over the last month, Althea organizers have been working to develop local partnerships and gain traction in their communities. Several organizers have chosen the “Altheahoods” approach to starting their networks, and have begun gathering pre-registration sign-ups prior to build out. Using social media and door-to-door canvassing, the hilltop organizers have gained traction at a brisk pace with 39 sign ups and several business have stepped forward to become relays or gateways there.
