Partnership Case Study: Xcavate x R0GUE

Building Web3 Infrastructure With Real-World Impact

Xcavate works with R0GUE as a collaborator, not a transactional client. The relationship is hands-on, we work side by side, on equal footing, to help visionary teams achieve their objectives and deliver Web3 systems designed to solve challenging problems.

This partnership reflects R0GUE’s core belief and our guiding principle:

“We challenge the status quo with emergent technologies, creating impactful solutions that transform industries.”

Over the past several months, Xcavate and R0GUE have been collaborating across multiple phases to design, implement, and harden the critical infrastructure underpinning Xcavate’s platform, laying the groundwork for a real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem focused on real estate investment and management.

What follows is a look at what we’ve built together so far, and how this partnership is evolving beyond a standard implementation engagement.

Phase One: Codebase Review & Runtime Uplift

Our collaboration began with a deep, joint review of Xcavate’s existing codebase. R0GUE embedded closely with the Xcavate team to assess architectural decisions, identify risks, and align the runtime with long-term scalability goals.

This phase included a detailed review of:

• Runtime pallets and token standards
• XCM and cross-chain integration patterns
• Upgrade paths and dependency management

In parallel, we supported Xcavate in upgrading their Substrate node, ensuring compatibility with the latest SDK while preserving existing functionality and minimizing disruption.

Milestone 1: Codebase & architecture review
Milestone 2: Node SDK upgrade to v2503

Phase Two: Token Generation Event (TGE) Infrastructure

With a solid technical foundation in place, we moved into the design and implementation of Xcavate’s Token Generation Event (TGE).

The plan: enable Xcavate to mint and vest 100 million XCAV tokens to recipients via a secure and auditable process.

R0GUE worked as a core technical partner throughout this phase, delivering:

• Custom tooling to generate vesting transactions and validate on-chain state
• End-to-end documentation for Xcavate’s multisig-based sudo process
• Support for deploying a runtime with vesting logic on Xcavate testnet
• This phase ensured that token infrastructure was not only functional, but transparent, reproducible, and built for safe distribution

Milestone 3: TGE Infrastructure

Phase Three: Bridging Ethereum to Xcavate via Hyperbridge

Now, we’re deep into one of the most technically complex milestones: enabling cross-chain transfers of stablecoins from Ethereum to Xcavate using Hyperbridge and ISMP (Interoperable State Machine Protocol).

Xcavate and R0GUE are collaborating on core cross-chain infrastructure to enable secure, long-term interoperability and real-world asset flows.

Key contributions include:

• ISMP integration into the Xcavate codebase.
• Designed a migration-safe token gateway and approval flow
• Implemented integration tests simulating token flows between Ethereum and Xcavate
• Built out documentation and architecture diagrams to support maintainability
• Flagged edge-case risks and proposed solutions

Delivery documentation included:

• Bridging existing ERC-20 tokens
• System architecture overview
• Runtime and cross-chain message simulation testing guides

Both teams have now successfully completed the first end-to-end asset transfer on Xcavate testnet, validating the bridge flow, asset minting, and supply correctness.

A transfer of 10 USD.h was executed on Ethereum Sepolia, resulting in the successful minting of the corresponding assets on Xcavate testnet . The receiving Xcavate account reflects the full 10 USD.h balance, and total USD.h supply on Xcavate has been verified for consistency.

Milestone 4: Cross-chain Stablecoin Integration

Looking Ahead: A Long-Term Technical Partnership

As core infrastructure comes online, our collaboration with Xcavate is expanding beyond discrete milestones. R0GUE will be serving as Xcavate’s core technical development partner rather than a one-off implementation provider.

Together, we are aligning on:

• Long-term platform architecture
• Mainnet readiness and operational resilience
• The evolution of Xcavate’s RWA platform to meet real human and institutional needs

Our shared goal is to build infrastructure that serves more than speculative use cases, technology that addresses real economic activity, accessibility, and societal impact.

Collaboration-forward Built For Human Impact

This collaboration exemplifies how R0GUE approaches every engagement. We don’t operate as a dev shop that ships code and walks away. We partner with founders and teams who are serious about building systems that matter.

We believe in Xcavate’s vision: making blockchain practical, accessible, and impactful for everyday people through use cases that serve fundamental human rights and needs. That belief is why we invest deeply, technically, strategically, and collaboratively, in the success of our partners.

At R0GUE, we exist to bring purpose-driven innovation to life, where emergent technologies don’t just challenge the status quo, but genuinely transform industries and improve lives.

Building something real with Web3?

We work with teams who are serious about shipping, scaling, and operating production-grade systems.

Go R0GUE and build the future of Web3 with us.
