Andromeda Partners with Strangelove: Accelerating Development for the Ecosystem

We’re thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership between Andromeda and Strangelove, a provider of managed upgrade services for CosmosSDK blockchains. This collaboration brings a powerful suite of tools and expertise to the Andromeda ecosystem, ensuring a smoother, more secure, and faster development process for everyone building with the Andromeda Operating System (aOS).

Who is Strangelove?

Strangelove is known for delivering managed upgrade solutions and development support tailored for Cosmos SDK blockchains. With their flagship product, Uplift, Strangelove takes the pain out of maintaining, upgrading, and scaling blockchain infrastructures. Their team of experienced engineers executes upgrades quickly and efficiently, reducing the burden on internal teams and ensuring that blockchain projects can stay focused on innovation without the constant distraction of technical debt or outdated infrastructure.

Beyond simply providing upgrade services, Strangelove enhances the entire development lifecycle through proactive Dependency Security Monitoring, GitHub CI integration, and interchaintest + local-ic integrations. These services provide security, efficiency, and reliability, giving developers the confidence to build without worrying about the hidden complexities of SDK upgrades and ongoing maintenance.

Why This Partnership is a Game-Changer for Andromeda

The Andromeda ecosystem, with aOS at its core, is rapidly growing and attracting developers building cutting-edge decentralized applications (dApps). However, maintaining an advanced blockchain network, especially one focused on delivering innovative products like Andromeda Digital Objects (ADOs), requires constant vigilance to ensure that upgrades, security, and testing do not slow down development.

This is where Strangelove comes in. By partnering with Strangelove, Andromeda has been upgraded to v50 of the CosmosSDK, unlocking new features and optimizations that will improve both the performance and scalability of the network. More importantly, Strangelove’s managed upgrade services will allow us to streamline this process, ensuring that future SDK upgrades and security patches are applied without delays or disruptions.

How Developers Benefit from this Partnership

For developers building with aOS, this partnership means faster, safer, and more efficient development cycles. Strangelove’s proactive Dependency Security Monitoring will ensure that developers can code confidently, knowing that potential security vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies could be identified and addressed before they cause issues. This helps minimize technical debt and reduces the time spent on troubleshooting.

Moreover, Strangelove’s integration of interchaintest and local-ic tools into Andromeda’s development workflow will dramatically improve the testing process. Developers can simulate real-world scenarios across multiple chains more easily, making it more straightforward to identify bugs or compatibility issues early in the development process. This ultimately results in a faster, more reliable, chain.

Additionally, Strangelove’s GitHub CI integration automates key aspects of continuous integration, enabling developers to catch code issues before they make it into production. This level of automation not only saves time but also helps to improve code quality, ensuring that dApps built on Andromeda meet the highest standards.

What Does This Mean for the Andromeda Ecosystem?

This partnership represents a significant leap forward for the entire Andromeda ecosystem. By handing over the complex tasks of upgrading and maintaining the SDK to Strangelove, Andromeda’s core development team can focus more on pushing the boundaries of innovation, releasing new ADOs, and refining aOS to meet the needs of our growing community.

For the broader ecosystem, the assurance that Strangelove provides—through year-round support, ongoing security monitoring, and expedited upgrade execution—means a more secure, scalable, and reliable blockchain for all stakeholders. Whether you’re a developer, a dApp user, or an investor, this partnership strengthens Andromeda’s foundation, helping our ecosystem remain robust and future-proof.

Looking Ahead

We’re excited about the opportunities this partnership will unlock for the Andromeda community. With Strangelove providing top-tier upgrade and development support, developers can build with greater confidence, knowing that the technical backbone of Andromeda is more secure and easier to maintain than before. Together with Strangelove, we’re removing obstacles and setting the stage for the next wave of innovation within the Andromeda ecosystem.

Stay tuned for more updates as we roll out SDK v50 and continue to expand the capabilities of aOS and the Andromeda platform.

Let’s build the future together, powered by Andromeda and Strangelove!
