**The Compact** has launched as an open-source, composable smart contract system designed to enable seamless crosschain interoperability. Key features include: - **Resource locking mechanism** that enables credible commitments within applications - **Composable architecture** allowing builders to integrate crosschain functionality - **Open-source framework** for developers to build upon The system allows developers to create applications that can operate across multiple blockchain networks without the typical friction of crosschain transactions. *Builders can now implement credible commitments directly into their dApps*, expanding possibilities for crosschain DeFi and other blockchain applications.

**Warp announces partnership** with Uniswap Labs to build using The Compact, a new resource locking primitive. **The Compact** represents a collaborative effort between: - Uniswap Labs - LiFi Protocol (@lifiprotocol) - Rhinestone (@rhinestonewtf) This **resource locking primitive** could enhance cross-chain operations and improve capital efficiency across DeFi protocols. The partnership signals growing adoption of Uniswap's infrastructure beyond traditional swapping, as developers integrate advanced primitives into their applications.
