Cube, a hybrid exchange that handles on-chain transactions using secure multi-party computation, has launched Access Protocol (ACS), a content monetization platform built on Solana. The listing follows Cube’s recent announcement of Isometric (ISO), an intent-based transaction network that aims to enable cross-chain trading without asset bridging.
At the Solana Breakpoint conference, Cube’s CEO and co-founder Bartosz Lipinski outlined the vision behind Isometric. “When we started building Cube, we wanted everything to have a purpose,” said Lipinski.
“Anyone can submit intents to the network and verify settlements across multiple chains using the decentralized MPC we built.”
He emphasized that the decentralized MPC integration layer allows users to leverage value across layer one blockchains without reducing it.
Isometric’s platform token, ISO, will enable governance, staking, and decentralized custody within the network. Cube has scheduled both the token and mainnet launch for the second quarter of 2025, with the aim of streamlining cross-chain interactions and improving the efficiency of blockchain transactions.
In addition to technological advancements, Cube has a partnership with the Argentine government this week. The collaboration aims to explore the exploitation of the isometric network as a catalyst for the Argentine financial system, representing an important step in the integration of blockchain technology with national financial infrastructures.
The timing of the ACS listing is notable as it highlights the growing use of content tokenization on-chain. Cube’s custom rewards platform, Blocks, engages users through unique merchant and token holder listing packages. Participants on the ACS list will be eligible for Blocks campaign rewards, potentially increasing user engagement and liquidity for the token.
Access Protocol has expanded its ecosystem. The protocol integrates Solana’s new “Actions” and “Blinks” features to improve user experience by allowing crypto transactions through any website or application using shareable links. This integration enables one-click purchases of deployed ACS subscriptions for top crypto media platforms using Solana’s native token, SOL.
Access Protocol, founded by DeFi investment expert Mika Honkasalo and launched in February 2023, offers a blockchain-based subscription model for content creators and digital media publications. Users can access exclusive content by staking ACS tokens instead of through traditional subscriptions.
Cube’s list of ACS and developments with Isometric reflect a broader trend of innovation in cross-chain solutions and monetization models within the blockchain industry. The partnership with Argentina highlights the growing interest of national governments in using blockchain technology to improve the financial system.
