If before June 21, Binance Labs participated in a $10 million funding round for Neutron Network, today, on October 10, 2023, Binance has announced the listing of Neutron – a cross-chain smart contract platform built on Cosmos Hub. So, What is Neutron (NTRN), and what makes this project so attractive that the giant Binance is investing in it?
What is Neutron (NTRN)?
Neutron is a cross-chain smart contract platform built on Cosmos, allowing developers to deploy smart contracts that can interact with each other through the IBC protocol.
Neutron combines the security features of the top 10 blockchains, enabling the safe scaling of DeFi applications on its network.
The native token of the project is NTRN.
Key Features of Neutron
CosWASM Support
Neutron supports CosmWasm, a virtual machine that enables smart contracts to be written in Rust, AssemblyScript, and other programming languages, running on Cosmos blockchains.
Deploying applications as CosmWasm smart contracts is easier, more cost-effective, and faster compared to launching the entire Cosmos SDK. This standardized toolset provides a smoother experience for developers.
IBC Support
Neutron supports the IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) protocol, which allows blockchains to communicate and interact with each other securely and reliably. IBC was developed by Cosmos Network.
This also enables applications on Neutron to interact with applications on other Cosmos blockchains, allowing developers to build cross-chain applications that access assets and data from various blockchains.
Security
Neutron is secured by Cosmos Hub, known as one of the most secure blockchains. Cosmos Hub uses Interchain Security, a security mechanism that allows validators from one blockchain to secure another.
Permissionless
Neutron is a permissionless platform, meaning anyone can deploy code on it. This makes Neutron an open platform where anyone can participate in building decentralized applications.
These features make Neutron a robust cross-chain smart contract platform. Neutron can be used to build various applications, including:
DeFi: Neutron can be used to build DeFi applications like decentralized exchanges (DEXs), lending platforms, and stablecoin protocols. These applications can use Neutron to interact with each other, allowing users to transfer assets between applications easily and quickly.
DApps: Neutron can be used to build other decentralized applications such as social networks and gaming platforms.

Neutron (NTRN) Price
The information about Neutron’s listing on Binance has generated significant interest in the project. Currently, the community’s attention is focused on NTRN’s price movement. At the time of writing, NTRN is trading around $0.34, representing a decrease of more than 30% from its all-time high of $0.50 when it was listed on Binance.
Conclusion
Neutron is a relatively new project with a short development history but is the first project to be secured by Cosmos’ Interchain Security technology. Notably, Binance and Coinfund led the Seed Round of Neutron with 11% of the total NTRN tokens sold at a price of $0.09 per NTRN (90 million FDV).
