What happens when contracts that need to see everything meet technology designed to conceal nearly all information? Reactive Contracts aren’t simply idle until invoked. Instead, they observe the entire crypto ecosystem ready to spring into action the moment something interesting happens. It’s essentially giving your contracts a distributed
As of January 13, we’ve wrapped up all three Reactive bounty programs and what a run it’s been! Across these challenges, builders pushed Reactive Contracts in different directions, explored new automation patterns, and shipped a lot of genuinely impressive code. Today, we’re excited to share the two
Our third bounty has drawn to a close so it's now time to announce the winners of our second bounty! The results of judging for the third bounty will be announced in one week, on January 12. Second bounty winners There was a mismatch between the deadline time
We’re excited to roll out ReacDEFI v2, the latest version of the first app built on Reactive Network. This release brings a fresh new design, smoother flows, and ongoing on-chain automation improvements. ReacDEFI is built to take the hassle out of DeFi risk management. By pairing Reactive Contracts with
Starting today, U.S. customers of Coinbase and OKX will be able to purchase REACT directly inside their exchange interfaces, with every buy executed on-chain, against existing REACT liquidity pools. This is an access upgrade, not a native exchange orderbook. Both exchanges are expanding their on-chain asset purchase flow, meaning
Our second Reactive bounty has just concluded, so it's now time to announce the winners of our first Reactive bounty and to share details on the third Reactive bounty too! The task for the third bounty is described on DoraHacks, and we’ll also outline it briefly here.
Reactive Network is bringing the REACT token to Base, improving accessibility for holders and reducing the cost of trading and transferring REACT on-chain. This expansion does not introduce new protocol functionality, Reactive Contracts operate exactly as before. What changes is the user experience around interacting with the token. Why Base
When discussing block time, TPS, and finality, remember that none of these metrics exist in isolation. They interact, conflict, and force difficult choices. Every network is a bundle of tradeoffs, and understanding those tradeoffs helps make sense of why hundreds of different blockchains exist, each claiming to be better than
Another staking season is winding down. The 90-day pool unlocks at block 3,384,799 on December 7th, wrapping up a season where more than 121 million REACT were staked and participants earned an average 11.44% APY. Now it’s time to shift our gaze toward Season 4, which
The subscription model is standard in Web2, but reproducing it on-chain has been difficult. Traditional recurring payments depend on centralized processors and off-chain scheduling, none of which map cleanly to blockchain execution. NFT SUB addresses this by expressing subscriptions as verifiable on-chain events. Implemented as a TypeScript SDK, NFT SUB
You have just sold your car. The buyer hands you cash, you hand over the keys, and you both walk away. The transaction is done, irreversible and final. Now imagine they paid with a check instead. You deposit it, but there's a waiting period. The check might bounce.
Our bounty program keeps rolling, on Sunday we closed submissions for the first challenge, a Cross-Chain Oracle. We received 23 submissions, and we’ll be reviewing them over the coming week. Huge thanks to everyone who submitted a build, it’s great to see so many engaged hackers and a
Keeping Reactive Contracts (RCs) funded is a constant maintenance task. If a contract runs out of tokens, it stops executing. Thus, missed calls, stalled logic, and broken integrations follow. For developers working with RCs that fire on frequent events, this becomes a persistent operational load. Most builders end up watching
A popular restaurant on a Friday night. The kitchen can prepare 20 meals per hour. Everything works beautifully when 15 customers arrive. But when 50 people show up hungry, something has to give. Maybe wait times stretch from minutes to hours. Maybe prices rise to discourage diners. Maybe some people
Every blockchain has a rhythm. Like a heartbeat, it pulses at regular intervals, and with each pulse, a new batch of transactions becomes part of the permanent record. The time between these pulses is what we call block time. If you've ever sent Bitcoin and watched your wallet
Join the Next Wave of Reactive Scouts! Earlier this year, we launched Reactive Network's flagship ambassador initiative, the Scout Program, to recognize and reward the core supporters of our community: the content creators, the advocates, and the true OGs.

Think about the last time you sent money through your banking app. You typed in an amount, hit transfer, and within seconds, the balance updated - simple and predictable. These experiences have shaped what we expect from financial systems: they should just work, and they should work fast. Now imagine

The judging phase for our building competition is coming to a close with 154 registered builders, 31 final submissions and 2971 tracked transactions. Among our submissions, we’ve seen projects including launchpads, token bridges, autopayment protocols, NFT rentals, on-chain investment plans and many more use cases besides.As our judges
Reactive integrates with Unichain Mainnet, developed by Uniswap Labs, as both an origin and a destination chain within the Reactive Network. Reactive adds to Unichain’s vision of a unified DeFi layer — a space where on-chain logic responds to real-time conditions. Unichain’s low-latency infrastructure becomes more than a settlement
Blockchains operate in isolation. Conversely applications span multiple networks, assets circulate across ecosystems, and governance decisions ripple across domains. To coordinate this activity, developers turn to General Message Passing protocols (GMPs) — frameworks for transmitting arbitrary data between chains. GMPs go beyond token transfers. They can deliver structured instructions such as
Reactive Network has now integrated with Linea Mainnet, giving it the ability to act as both an origin and a destination chain. This setup opens new ways to build cross-chain triggers, move data between networks, and design more adaptive applications. Linea in Detail Linea is a Layer-2 network built on
