July 16th 2025 – Apex Fusion, a next-generation blockchain protocol rooted in Cardano's open-source foundations, has officially partnered with Well-Typed, the premier Haskell engineering firm and a key architectural force behind Cardano’s core development since the Byron era. This strategic collaboration brings formal verification expertise, deep architectural insight, and independent technical assurance to VECTOR—Apex Fusion’s high-assurance, institutional-grade implementation of the Cardano codebase.For more about Well-Typed, visit: https://well-typed.com
Well-Typed’s team, including longtime Cardano architect and Intersect Technical Steering Committee member Duncan Coutts, will provide ongoing audit, design assurance, and implementation guidance for VECTOR. The initiative aims to deliver prompt finality and increased transaction throughput, unlocking new DeFi and institutional use cases for the Apex Fusion network.
Duncan Coutts, Partner at Well-Typed, shared: “It’s exciting to see the Cardano codebase being reused in novel ways. VECTOR is a bold implementation effort aimed at delivering institutional-grade features while staying grounded in the principles of correctness and formal methods. We’re pleased to support the Apex Fusion team in ensuring VECTOR meets the highest engineering standards.”
Apex Fusion’s VECTOR protocol is purpose-built for high-assurance environments where security, predictability, and performance are non-negotiable. Through this partnership, Apex Fusion is reinforcing its commitment to rigour, collaboration, and innovation—hallmarks of the Cardano ecosystem.
Ivan Bjelajac, CEO of the Apex Fusion Foundation, stated: “Cardano’s legacy of sound engineering is a foundation we deeply respect. Working with Well-Typed is an assurance of quality and a continuation of that legacy. Together, we’re evolving that foundation to meet the needs of institutional DeFi and build a future where cross-chain composability is secure, fast, and dependable.”
This partnership reflects Apex Fusion’s mission to bridge ecosystems while maintaining the highest levels of technical integrity. The collaboration with Well-Typed ensures VECTOR is aligned with Cardano’s architectural principles, while pushing the boundaries of speed and scalability.
