About Picasso

Picasso is a cross-ecosystem DeFi infrastructure chain developed by Composable Finance that bridges the Polkadot and Cosmos ecosystems using IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication). As a Kusama parachain that also connects to Cosmos via IBC, Picasso serves as a hub enabling assets and messages to flow between the two major blockchain ecosystems. The chain hosts DeFi pallets (protocol components) including Pablo DEX, Centauri bridge, and various yield strategies. The PICA token governs the Picasso parachain and powers fee payments within the ecosystem.
