Apex Fusion launches VECTOR, Cardano’s institutional expansion chain

Apex Fusion has launched VECTOR, a Cardano-aligned blockchain delivering instant finality and high throughput to meet the ecosystem’s growing DeFi and institutional demands.

Apex Fusion has officially launched VECTOR, its dedicated Cardano-aligned blockchain designed to address one of the ecosystem’s urgent infrastructure needs: instant finality and high-throughput for DeFi and institutional-grade applications.

VECTOR is now live and open for onboarding projects from across the Cardano ecosystem, offering faster execution, enhanced interoperability, and a foundational blueprint for scaling the future of Cardano-based innovation.

“We’re proud to launch VECTOR as a strategic partner chain for Cardano, designed to bring performance, finality, and confidence to builders, teams, and institutions alike,” said Christopher Greenwood, Chief Operating Officer at Apex Fusion Foundation. “We strongly believe this is a value add to the Cardano ecosystem, which now enables projects to expand into other ecosystems, gaining access to liquidity and reach.”

Cardano’s roadmap includes ambitious throughput and integration upgrades, such as Leios. Each of which is a step toward scalability, but is still under development and expected to take time to fully materialize.

In the meantime, Cardano-native projects are seeking solutions that deliver Faster transaction confirmation and finality, Lower latency for DeFi protocols, higher throughput to match user demand and seamless connectivity to stablecoins, RWAs, and external chains. VECTOR solves these problems, without sacrificing the integrity of the Cardano ecosystem.
