TechFlow reports that Neutron, a chain in the Cosmos ecosystem, has announced the upcoming Neutrality upgrade—an unconventional network upgrade that constitutes a blockchain merge.
This upgrade integrates Duality's hybrid order book application chain into Neutron’s binary, enabling automated market makers (AMMs) to consolidate liquidity and order flow within a shared protocol, thereby eliminating liquidity fragmentation. Developers will be able to create efficient markets for any asset and replicate various AMM curves, including stable pools, weighted pools, or concentrated liquidity pools.
Additionally, the Neutrality upgrade introduces the Block SDK developed by Skip Protocol, which allows application developers to transparently define how blocks are built and validated on-chain. This provides an executable and explicit method for managing and redistributing miner extractable value (MEV).
The upgrade also includes a series of improvements, covering the transition from Cosmos SDK 0.45 to 0.47, integration of the Globalfee module, updates to the TokenFactory module, and enhancements to the ContractManager module.
The Neutrality version will soon undergo formal review and testing on the Pion-1 testnet. If testing is successful, the upgrade proposal will enter a voting period in November. Upon approval by the Neutron DAO, the mainnet upgrade would take place approximately 14 days after the proposal passes—potentially in mid-November.
