Vector Launches with Instant Finality, 10x Cardano Speed

- Apex Fusion unveiled Vector blockchain at the Rare Evo conference. - Vector claims instant transaction finality and institutional-grade performance. On August 6, 2025, Apex Fusion announced the launch of Vector, a Cardano-aligned blockchain, at the Rare Evo conference. Designed for institutional users entering the Web3 ecosystem, Vector provides instant transaction finality and a throughput 10 times faster than Cardano. According to the company, Vector is the first Cardano-compatible blockchain to achieve independently verified instant transaction finality. To support these claims, the Apex Fusion Foundation commissioned a report highlighting Vector’s technological breakthroughs. The analysis, written by Cardano architect Duncan Coutts along with Predictable Network Solutions co-founders Neil Davies and Peter Thompson, revealed that Vector's throughput is 10 times faster than the Cardano mainnet. Furthermore, the report states that under optimized conditions, 98.6% of transactions achieved immediate finality, while 99% finalized within 13 seconds. Instant finality resolves a critical issue in blockchain-based financial systems, namely prolonged settlement times. Anja Blaj Zajc, head of legal at the Apex Fusion Foundation, emphasized that this technology eliminates risks such as chain reorganizations and double-spending, explaining that real-time confirmations enhance institutional security, mitigate operational risks, and ensure regulatory compliance. Vector’s development aligns with European Union regulations under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. According to Zajc, the foundation has already secured a FINMA ruling in Switzerland for its AP3X token classification. In addition, the foundation is preparing to notify EU national authorities, steps which are aimed at meeting institutional standards for regulatory compliance.
