Orcfax Update #22
November 4, 2025
Here’s your bi-weekly Orcfax update, covering recent developments, Catalyst progress, ITN milestones, business strategy, and community activity.
Developments 🧪
CNT Collector Refinement
Characterization tests are nearly complete, bringing the CNT collector close to open-source readiness.
Arweave Fallback Implementation
Following an AWS outage earlier this month, the team is implementing an Arweave fallback mechanism that pings multiple gateways at random before publishing data. This ensures more resilient data transfers and reduces single-vendor dependency.
ODAPI
Work continues on refining ODAPI for on-demand data delivery.
Lightweight Explorer & RWA Research
Our team discussed developing a lightweight on-chain explorer for verifiable data, extending beyond price feeds to Real World Assets (RWA), decentralized identifiers (DID), and verifiable claims.
Catalyst 🧭
Fund 15 Strategy
Our team is preparing for Fund 15 under new rules limiting proposals per project, focusing on consensus and staking.
ITN 🚀
DAO Community Ecosystem Repository
The ITN issues repository is being reworked into a DAO community ecosystem repository to provide better transparency and community reporting for the validators.

Business & Partnerships 🤝
Fluid Integration
Fluid integrated Orcfax on Mainnet and will start to support IAG and DJED for their V3 lending product.
Exploring New Infrastructure
Following the AWS outage, the team is evaluating decentralized compute alternatives and exploring new collaborations for redundancy and performance improvements.
RWA & Cross-Chain
Research continues into Arweave as a long-term partner for archival and metadata services. This aligns with Orcfax’s broader strategy to position itself as a cross-chain archival oracle network, bridging Cardano and storage ecosystems like Arweave.
