Fundamentals
Unistrata was the second of the six projects in our look at the UHI9 hookathon, and it draws a different lesson from the same limit: a Uniswap hook only runs when someone trades, but some decisions can’t wait for the next trade. Here is how it handles that. The

EvenFlow was the first of the six projects in our look at the UHI9 hookathon, and the one we singled out as the clearest case of something a Uniswap hook simply can’t do on its own. Here is a closer look at how it gets around that. The full
Fiet is integrating with Reactive Network to automate one of the hardest problems in DeFi for everyday traders: guaranteeing liquidity is settled promptly without sacrificing user experience. By deploying Reactive Contracts (RCs), Fiet will remove the need for traders to manually claim funds when liquidity that was temporarily unavailable, becomes
We recently took a look back at some of the utility introduced to Reactive Network so far in 2025, now it's time to look ahead. By 2026, Reactive Contracts are no longer an experiment. They are part of the baseline expectations for how on-chain systems behave. Contracts that
Reactive Network began with a simple observation: most smart contracts spend their lives waiting. They wait for users, bots, or keepers to notice something has changed and to push them into action. Reactive Contracts invert that relationship. They remain alert, notice changes on-chain as they happen, and respond automatically. In
Blockchain is reaching a tipping point. After years of experimentation, the first signs of institutional-grade infrastructure are beginning to emerge. Two markets stand out as the drivers of this shift: tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and decentralized finance (DeFi). The challenge, however, is no longer raw throughput. The bottleneck is coordination.
Plenty of teams came through the UHI9 hookathon, and a good share of them used Reactive Network. The judges did something more useful than count claims: they checked whether each project's reactive contract actually fired a callback on-chain. Six passed that test. This is a look at those
Season 6 is wrapping up. Our 1-month staking pool expires at block 6,055,034 (Monday, July 13th), and with it we're opening the door to Season 7. Season 7 repeats Season 6 in structure: a single 1-month pool. We're finalizing the last details of the
In January 2026, we wrote about Fiet integrating with Reactive Network to take the manual labor out of asynchronous DeFi settlements. That was the promise. Milestone 2 is the delivery: the contracts are live on Arbitrum and Reactive mainnet, and a full end-to-end run is on record, a real settlement
Reactive Network is entering a new era. The first version of REACT tokenomics was built around an Ethereum-style model: no fixed ceiling, validator rewards issued over time, and every network fee burned through real usage. The logic was coherent. It made sense for a young network still proving the shape
There's a question lurking underneath a lot of blockchain engineering that sounds almost too simple to be worth asking: when a transaction lands on a chain, how long until you can be sure it's never coming back off? Not "probably safe" but truly, irreversibly
Season 5 is wrapping up. Our 3-month staking pool expires at block 5,649,633 (around 3 PM UTC on June 10th), and with it, we're opening the door to Season 6.
Something interesting happened in late February 2026. The Ethereum Foundation published a document that, if you squint at it from the right angle, reads like a roadmap toward the kind of consensus design that Cosmos ecosystem chains have been running for years. The document is called the "strawmap"
Somewhere beneath the surface of over a hundred blockchain networks, from Cosmos Hub to Osmosis to Celestia, there's a consensus engine quietly doing the heavy lifting. It's called CometBFT, and unless you've spent time wandering the Cosmos ecosystem, you've probably never encountered
Today, May 25th, we're rolling out the Omni fork for Reactive Lasna. The first testnet built on Reactive Network's new CometBFT-based architecture is live and ready for developers to start building, testing, and experimenting with the changes we've been working toward over the past
Reactive Network is getting a new engine. We're calling this the Omni fork. The consensus layer, the developer experience, and the way reactive contracts work are all being rebuilt. This document covers the technical specifics: what's changing, what stays the same, and what it means if
We spent 2025 building, shipping, and watching a growing cohort of developers push the network forward, stress testing its functionality. As we close out this inaugural year, we've taken stock: what's working, what needs improvement, and where this goes from here. This roadmap is a story
In DeFi Hack Postmortem Part 1, we looked at how Reactive Contracts address the root cause of bridge exploits: the gap between what a validator claims has happened and what actually has happened on-chain. That's the prevention side: stopping the hack before it starts. But prevention only works
