Cross-Chain Connected Contracts with Hyperlane
Cross-chain communication lives at the heart of Moonbeam, which is why Hyperlane, another cross-chain protocol, has deployed on Moonbeam. Similar to previously introduced protocols Axelar and LayerZero, Hyperlane allows developers to write smart contracts that can communicate across blockchains, which lets developers build cross-chain connected applications on Moonbeam that can tap into functionality from Polkadot, Ethereum, Avalanche, and beyond. Multichain dApps are currently unified interfaces for protocols duplicated across multiple EVMs. Protocols will be able to connect their contracts cross-chain using Hyperlane’s general message passing to become multichain aware, allowing for advanced interoperability and functionality between what would otherwise be isolated ecosystems. To demonstrate the power of connected contracts, walk through this demo that sends and stores a string from one TestNet EVM to another. The demo requires a MetaMask account with the Moonbase Alpha network added, which can be accomplished by visiting the Moonbeam docs site. — Intro to Hyperlane Contracts - Hyperlane is a delegated proof of stake chain protocol that validates and secures cross-chain communication via configurable consensus methods. Every validator in Hyperlane’s network will validate for every chain that Hyperlane is connected to. Hyperlane’s protocol includes verifiable fraud proofs that can be calculated by its network o...

Cross-Chain Connected Contracts with LayerZero
Connected contracts allow smart contracts to communicate with each other across chains, opening the possibility for multichain-aware dApps. Moonbeam’s first integration for connected contracts was Axelar, and in this blog post you will be introduced to another popular cross-chain protocol. LayerZero is designed to be a lightweight interoperability protocol for cross-chain message passing. Benefits of LayerZero’s connected contract design include nonce-ordered messages and configurable trustlessness. Using LayerZero’s connected contracts solution, developers can build dApps that can tap into functionality from Polkadot, Ethereum, Avalanche, Swimmer, and beyond. Multichain dApps are currently unified interfaces for protocols duplicated across multiple EVMs. Protocols will be able to connect their contracts cross-chain using LayerZero’s message passing to become multichain-aware, allowing for advanced interoperability and functionality between what would otherwise be isolated ecosystems.

Spotlight: Cross Chain NFTs and 1:1 NFT Art on Moonbeam
The NFT scene on Moonbeam has grown with the development of new blockchain technology. New use cases that include the freedom for users to access their NFTs across blockchains and the concept of one-of-one NFTs are making waves in the space. Moonbeam is actively improving cross-chain access to NFTs with connected contracts, which opens new opportunities for the use of NFTs on any blockchain. The Moonbeam network is home to a diverse and active ecosystem that includes NFTs natively supported by the ERC-721 and ERC-1155 standards available for use in cross-chain connected smart contracts. This means Ethereum-compatible NFTs and other assets are visible and useable from one application without moving them across blockchains. This flexibility will impact NFT use in many aspects of gaming, metaverse, art collection, and more. Moonbeam is Ethereum compatible and supports ERC-721 NFT bridging with Ethereum, but this may no longer be necessary as the next generation of user-friendly applications solve the problem of fragmented cross-chain functionality and user experience. — NFTs on Moonbeam - A variety of top-tier multi-chain NFT marketplaces deployed on Moonbeam are already experimenting with the possibilities brought by recent innovations. Moonbeam’s marketplaces include Treasureland, NFTrade, Tofu NFT, Moonbeans, Mintverse, and Raresama. As a smart contract platform for building cross-chain connected applications that ca...

Using the Moonbeam Community Forum
The Interim Treasury Program is a 6-month program that establishes a separate community Treasury Council to manage Treasury funds, a budget for Treasury spending, and a required discussion time to gather community feedback on possible future Treasury proposals. When a community member has a new idea for a Treasury proposal, the first step they’ll need to take before submitting a formal on-chain proposal is to post their idea on the Moonbeam Community Forum. The proposer will collect feedback from community members and the Treasury Council for five days. After five days of community engagement, the proposal can be submitted formally on-chain along with a proposal bond. The proposal bond on Moonbeam and Moonriver is 5% of the amount requested by the proposer, with a minimum amount and no upper limit. The minimum is 100 GLMR on Moonbeam and 1 MOVR on Moonriver, although these amounts may change in the future. The proposal can then be converted to a Council motion or rejected by any member of the Treasury Council. If none of the Treasury Council members propose it as a motion, the bond stays locked and cannot be claimed back by the proposer. Assuming the proposal was converted to a Council motion, the motion will then be subject to an on-chain vote. A majority of 3/5th of the Treasury Council is required to pass the motion. On the other hand, the threshold for rejecting a proposal is at least 1/2 of the Treasury Council. If th...

Moonriver Provides EVM Smart Contract Platform for Robonomics Applications with XCM Integration
Singapore — November 22, 2022 — Moonbeam, the top destination for multi-chain applications on Polkadot, has announced an XCM connection between Moonriver and Robonomics by opening an HRMP channel to bring the Robonomics native token, XRT, to Moonriver. The XRT token can now be used as xcXRT across the Moonriver ecosystem. Robonomics is an open-source platform for IoT applications. It supports Web3 technology that implements the exchange of information in atomic transactions between user applications, IoT services, and complex robotics. The Robonomics platform contains tools for developing IoT applications, both on the robotics and the user interface sides. The user and device communicate using IPFS, Ethereum, and Polkadot. With this integration, the Robonomics team can explore bringing smart contracts into their parachain on Kusama. Developers can build atop Moonriver’s fully Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform to explore the integration of composable smart contracts into the real-world applicability that IoT devices have been created to provide. Taking on-chain data and being able to translate that into real-world events will open up a new class of development and use cases that blockchains can power. In August, Moonbeam announced a live proof-of-concept of XCM-to-EVM functionality on Moonbase Alpha TestNet. This technology allows developers on remote chains to trigger function calls on the Moonriver/Mo...

Bifrost Polkadot Integrates with Moonbeam to Power GLMR Liquid Staking
Singapore — November 17, 2022 — Moonbeam, the top destination for multi-chain applications on Polkadot, has announced an XCM connection between Moonbeam and Bifrost by the opening of HRMP channels bringing the Bifrost native token, BNC, to Moonbeam. Bifrost’s token can now be used as xcBNC, an XC-20 representation of BNC, across the Moonbeam ecosystem, and the GLMR token is now available on Bifrost. Bifrost exists as a parachain on both Kusama and Polkadot as Bifrost Kusama and Bifrost Polkadot. Both parachains are DeFi protocols that provide staking derivatives and liquidity to bonding assets. Bifrost powers vTokens (Staking Derivatives Voucher Token), which allow users to exchange PoS tokens for vTokens and obtain liquidity and staking rewards through Bifrost protocol The underlying technology that enables the XC-20 standard, XCM (Cross-Consensus Messaging) is uniquely made possible by the Polkadot architecture. XCM is a language that enables asset transfers from Bifrost, and other parachains to Moonbeam represented as standard ERC-20s. This format provides flexible interoperability within the Polkadot ecosystem and beyond — a key building block of the cross-chain connected future. Moreover, XCM allows one parachain to perform remote calls on the other, a key element that will power the GLMR liquid staking solution that Bifrost provides through XCM. The recent activation of the XCM SDK makes it easier ...

With the use of relationships with parachains, Polkadot will be able to expand its ecosystem's capabilities and reach new heights. Moonbeam Network and its subsidiary, Moon River, have joined forces with Bifrost recently.
There's hope for Polkadot, and here's a quick article at how the crypto has been faring: The DOT's price went up because of some major changes on the chain. However, according to the indicators, the negative outlook remains intact.
Based on a recent tweet, the integrations have not only enabled liquid staking for GLMR and MOVR tokens, but they have also caused a dramatic increase in developer engagement within the ecosystem.
This, as this tweet attests, is what propelled Polkadot into the ranks of the most active blockchains.
We're happy to announce that $vGLMR & $vMOVR liquid staking is Live on Bifrost!
Thanks to the @Polkadot #HRMP channel and the yield-bearing vToken derivatives, @MoonbeamNetwork & @MoonriverNW community can enjoy increased token liquidity and rewards:https://t.co/15mSRH8BpR
— Bifrost (@bifrost_finance) November 21, 2022
During this same time period, sales of NFTs grew, indicating progress for Polkadot in this arena as well. CoinMarketCap reports an 8 percent gain in the price of DOT in the last 24 hours as a result of these events. However, can DOT keep up this pace?

PRESS RELEASE. Launching its much awaited V2 testnet on the Goerli chain today, UniLend team is looking to Revolutionise the Lending and Borrowing scene in the DeFi space. It is the first ever protocol which claims to “Make Every Digital Asset Productive”.
Earlier, UniLend Finance CEO, Chandresh Aharwar had unveiled the version of UniLend Dapp for the first time on Binance Live, calling it “The world's first true permissionless lending and borrowing protocol”.
The DeFi space has grown multiple fold in the past couple years but is still in its early stages. UniLend V2 will allow anyone to start lending and borrowing of any 12k+ ERC20 tokens, just like anyone can start trading any token on a decentralised exchange without any approval or permission.
The team also announced an Airdrop worth $5000 UFT for early tester which will run for couple of weeks.
In order to enable you to quickly learn about v2 , we advise you to dive in to the documentation:
- Core UniLend V2 smart code on Github

With UniLend V1 Permissionless Protocol being live for more than a year on four major blockchains: Ethereum, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, and Moonriver with more than $50 Million Flash Loans executed, the team is extremely enthusiast...
|  | Chainlink Launches SCALE to Ease Oracle Network Operating Costs
In an announcement on Sept. 28, Chainlink Labs stated that the new initiative allows blockchains and layer-2 networks to fast-track smart contract innovation.
This is achieved by helping to cover the operating costs (such as gas fees) of Chainlink oracle services for a period of time.
“As L1 & L2 user bases expand, fees from dApps can eventually cover the full on-chain costs of Chainlink oracle nodes - driving long-term viability across different ecosystems,” the team stated.

SCALE accelerates the growth of on-chain ecosystems by blockchains/L2s helping cover the costs of Chainlink oracles supporting their dApps.https://t.co/v7qz8KtF1P
— Chainlink (@chainlink) September 28, 2022
A Chainlink Economics 2.0 Initiative
A number of networks, including Avalanche, Metis, Moonbeam, and Moonriver, have pledged support for Chainlink SCALE, onboarding the program to cover certain oracle network operating costs and furthering research and development.
As the system matures, oracle operating costs can transition to being covered by dApp user fees rather than the ecosystem itself covering the overheads.
SCALE is part of the Chainlink Economics 2.0 program, which targets sustainable growth, crypto-economic security, and deeper value capture in the network. The roadmap was released in early June, highlighting long-term goals and economic sustainabil...
|  | Will Polkadot Network Progress Give An Ailing DOT Renewed Vigor?
Polkadot has proven successful in a number of areas recently. Data from Santiment shows that there has been a dramatic increase in development on Polkadot.
But does this mean a brighter future for Polkadot? Data shows that the highest amount of transfers occurred on September 16.
In addition, there's even better news. Parallel chaining is likewise very active. The volume of transactions using these secondary chains on the Polkadot main chain is an indicator of this action.
The GLMR token from Moonbeam and the MOVR token from Moonrivers are two of the most well-known.
Chart: TradingView.com
Polkadot Investors Up In Numbers
Investments on Polkadot are also at an all-time high, with DFG coming in first place with 52 active projects.
While these claims certainly sound promising, how will they impact DOT's market presence? The coin's performance on the market has improved, thanks to recent changes.
Investor confidence in Polkadot's ecosystem and native token DOT can increase if the crypto market recovers with the broader financial markets.
Both the DeFi and the more conventional financial markets are experiencing unfavorable market circumstances that make price changes unlikely. The recent increase in interest rates by 0.75 percent exacerbates the already intense selling pressure.
DOT Challenged By Adverse Market Conditions
Fear caused by recent CPI data is still evident on the charts as bears continue to test the lower part of the Donchian channel. Even though bulls are a...
|  | Pocket Network Advances Its Multichain Strategy With Latest Milestone
PRESS RELEASE. TAMPA, Fla., June 27, 2022 / - Pocket Network, an infrastructure middleware protocol which facilitates decentralized multichain blockchain access to developer applications in Web3, including Ethereum, Polygon, Gnosis Chain, Avalanche, Solana, Fuse, Fantom and Near, recently marked a significant milestone in its multichain strategy with 50 supported blockchains on its network after integrating Moonbeam and Moonriver blockchains. Pocket has its sight on the century mark – with 100 blockchains supported by the end of 2022.
'As we see developer demand drive more activity and apps to a wider variety of blockchains, interoperability challenges, as well as latency and reliability, from centralized infrastructure providers will continue to grow,' said Michael O'Rourke, Co-founder and CEO of Pocket Network. 'With our multichain strategy, we are positioned to cement Pocket as the true decentralized, full-node RPC protocol in the industry.'
The real breakthrough of a multichain network is in the utility this brings to Web3 developers.

[PRESS RELEASE - Please Read Disclaimer]
OceanONDA V4 is deployed on Ethereum Mainnet, Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Moonriver, and Energy Web Chain.
Singapore, June 9, 2022: Ocean Protocol, the open-source, decentralized data exchange protocol to unlock data for AI, announces the launch of OceanONDA V4. OceanONDA introduces three key new features: data NFTs for more flexible data IP management, one-sided staking to solve rug pulls, and better community monetization.
Bruce Pon, Ocean founder, said:
“The OceanONDA V4 release is the most important milestone to date to fulfill our vision: Ocean Protocol as the orchestration layer for data services and AI, as the general-purpose data sharing and monetization infrastructure that brings data providers and data consumers together.’’
Data NFTs
Ocean V4 adds ERC721 data NFTs to add maximize flexibility in data IP management. Data NFTs provide interoperability & composability within the wider NFT, DeFi, and DAO ecosystems and many uses beyond the “base IP” use case, including comments & ratings, verifiable claims, identity credentials, user profile data, and social media posts.
Aiming to Solve Rug Pulls
OceanONDA V4 solves rug pulls through one-sided staking: when OCEAN is staked in a pool, datatokens are minted while keeping price stable; when OCEAN is unstaked, datatokens are burned. This in turn increases staking safety while also eliminating price slippage.
Better Community Monetization

Bifrost, a cross-chain liquid staking derivative protocol, has just won the 18th Polkadot parachain slot. Now, Bifrost is planning on bridging from Kusama using the Polkadot infrastructure to bring cross-chain liquid staking to over 80% of public PoS chains.
Note, Bifrost won Kusama's fifth parachain slot on July 20, 2021.
Currently, Bifrost has developed a liquidity derivative for staked KSM in order to promote the capital utilization of KSM in various DeFi scenarios as well as empower the security of the relay-chain consensus and promote the activity of KSM staking.
The Bifrost team intends to follow through on providing standardized cross-chain staking liquidity derivatives to Polkadot relay chains, parachains, and heterogeneous chains bridged with Polkadot.
'At Bifrost, we believe that multi-chain integration and cross-chain liquid staking is the push the market needs right now. We are excited to have Polkadot’s and our community’s support and to see more projects such as Moonriver or Astar team up with Bifrost in making liquid staking mainstream. The strength in combating the bear market lies in cross-chain cooperation and the Bifrost-Polkadot integration brings us one step closer to achieving this goal.”
- Lurpis Wang, Co-Founder of Bifrost
When Bifrost’s Polkadot parachain goes live, Bifrost will launch derivatives of Polkadot, Moonriver, Moonbeam, Astar, Acala, and Phala. Through Polkadot’s unique cross-chain interoperability, Bifrost can...

BiFARMS has announced the launch of the all in one decentralized finance yield optimizer platform that’s focused on providing high yields on crypto assets. BiFARMS aims to simplify this process by creating a seamless and streamlined process for users to earn a rewardingly high yet modest APR in the easiest and safest way while ensuring sustainable growth within the BiFARMS platform across multiple farming ecosystems.
According to the research, the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) crypto market cap is estimated at $122.40B, at the time of writing. Statistically, it's crystal clear that the DeFi sector is gaining a lot of traction as it continues to offer decentralized financial services with high yields to crypto investors.
The emergence of DeFi has not only provided crypto enthusiasts with a new way of investing and wealth management but also complete control of their finances thus eliminating intermediaries from the system. With peer-to-peer relationships and self-executing “smart contracts” on the blockchain network, DeFi democratizes finance and replaces traditional centralized institutions like banks, brokerages, and more.
Decentralized Finance leverages decentralized networks to reshape old financial products into trustless and transparent protocols that run without intermediaries. DeFi projects on the blockchain network provide easy and cheaper access to financial services, from banking, loans and mortgages, to asset trading. There are also decentralized y...
|  | Mangata Finance's Polkadot-based Efficient, MEV-Free DEX Coming Ju...
Mangata Finance, the Polkadot-based DEX, is all set for launch on June 6th.
Recently, it had a successful crowdloan that was closed in just under an hour that secured it a slot on Polkadot’s innovation network Kusama. Over $2 million in value was bonded through the crowdloan, a process of staking Polkadot (DOT) tokens to support a specific project in the Polkadot Slot Auction, in return for which participants receive rewards from the projects.
The project also raised $4.2 million in equity, which came shortly after the launch of its first blockchain on the Kusama network, which raised the Polkadot startup's valuation to $60 million. New investors including Signum Capital, IVC, Figment, ZMT Capital, AngelDAO, and Paribu Ventures joined the returning investors Altonomy, Polychain, and TRGC in this strategic round.
'Altonomy believes in Mangata's efforts around connecting major blockchains, improving security for traders, and helping reduce fees by eliminating gas from the equation, which is why we returned for a second round of funding,' said Altonomy Director Ricky Li.
Olaf Carlson-Wee, the founder and CEO of investment firm Polychain Capital, was actually the first one to fund Mangata's vision of efficient DEXes without MEV.
Leveraging Polkadot Interoperability
The Slovakia-based Mangata is both a blockchain and DEX that will be connected as a parachain in the Polkadot ecosystem. By choosing Polkadot for its multi-purpose DEX, Mangata wants to leverage the key value pro...

Ambire, providers of an integrated wallet offering a single interface to utilize popular DeFi apps, announced today it has added support for the Moonbeam Network. Its users will now be able to use Ambire to send transactions and use native Moonbeam DeFi protocols.
Moonbeam is the Ethereum-compatible parachain of the Polkadot network.
Unlike most other EVM-based networks out there, Moonbeam is not a direct code fork of Ethereum node software. Instead, it is a Substrate chain that emulates Ethereum features and its communication protocol to provide a compatible environment. This means that Moonbeam has additional features such as integrated governance, cross-chain integrations, and staking, which are native to Substrate.
DApp developers can deploy on Moonbeam just as they would on other EVM chains, using the exact same tooling and code. Existing major DeFi protocols on Moonbeam include Sushi and Curve, with a number of Moonbeam-native options as well for swapping and lending.
The Ambire Wallet enables access to DeFi opportunities from a single interface, which provides a useful central dashboard for users' DeFi activity.
This includes the ability to swap tokens or access dapps via WalletConnect, with the platform offering a detailed breakdown of balances and past transactions. Ambire also includes scam-proofing mechanisms, for example by ensuring that users give token approvals to the exact contract they meant to interact with.

|  | Moonbeam Emerges As The Gateway To The Promised “Multichain”...
For years, developers have been trying to determine the best alternative for Ethereum’s increasing network congestion and gas costs. Even though layer-2 scaling solutions involving zkSNARKS and Optimistic Rollups have been introduced to alleviate these challenges, most of these answers aim to improve Ethereum’s scalability.
On the other hand, Moonbeam leverages the interoperability and scalability of Polkadot to offer developers an environment that is fully compatible with Ethereum and its corresponding development tools. The Moonbeam Network serves as a highly-specialized layer-1 blockchain. Accordingly, it isn’t here to compete with Ethereum but will assuredly extend Ethereum’s base functionalities with Polkadot’s built-in features like on-chain governance, cross-chain integrations, and staking.
Since Ethereum already holds the lion’s share of the DeFi ecosystem (and the majority of the dApps are deployed atop it), it is quite certain that even in a multichain future, it will continue to hold a commanding position. In this context, Moonbeam will offer developers the ability to migrate their existing Ethereum-based projects to its network without making any major codebase changes. At the same time, it will extend a project’s reach to other chains (and users) who are already part of the Polkadot network.
As DeFi takes the multichain approach, which is a must for projects to achieve mainstream adoption, multichain infrastructure provid...
|  | Crypto Startup Swing Secures $6 Million In Strategic Funding Round
Swing, a blockchain startup that enables cross-chain liquidity and liquidity aggregation across blockchains, announced that it has raised USD 6 Million in a strategic funding round from leading investors in the blockchain ecosystem.
Housing several trading, lending, and borrowing protocols, the Ethereum ecosystem dominates the decentralized financial (DeFi) area. This has reverberated across the network, pushing Ethereum to its limits but also speeding up the pace of invention and experimentation. Swing leverages layer 1 and layer 2 solutions like Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Avalanche, Solana, Arbitrum, and more to get past and challenge Ethereum’s performance restrictions.
The strategic round of funding was led by Republic Capital and also saw participation from blockchain-centric VCs including Avalanche Labs, Bitcoin.com, Skynet EGLD Capital, Celer, Ascensive Assets, Haskey, Morningstar Ventures, Kane & Rao among others. With this round of strategic funding, Swing has achieved a valuation of USD 60 Million, making it one of the most sought-after projects in the DeFi space.
With this successful fundraiser, Swing aims to fastrack its plans to launch APIs to aggregate major liquidity sources and bridges with the aim of enabling cross-chain liquidity and progress closer to its vision of decentralized liquidity across the DeFi multi-chain ecosystem. The funding will be utilized to propel Swing’s development and expansion of teams.

|  | PureStake CEO Derek Yoo Explains the Technology Behind Moonbeam Network
Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform on the Polkadot network that makes it easy to build natively interoperable applications. This Ethereum compatibility allows developers to deploy existing Solidity smart contracts and DApp frontends to Moonbeam with minimal changes.
Derek Yoo is the CEO of PureStake, the technology company behind the Moonbeam Network. He recently joined the Bitcoin.com News Podcast to talk about the technology:
Derek Yoo is a serial Web2 technology entrepreneur who has spent the past 20 years building successful software and cloud companies. Prior to creating Moonbeam, Derek was the co-founder and CTO of Fuze, where he led the product and engineering teams in the creation of a global Unified Communications-as-a-Service cloud platform with points of presence all around the world, a low latency global network, and a suite of end user web, desktop, and mobile communications applications. During his time at Fuze, the company grew to 700 employees and a $150M run rate.
Like Moonriver, its sister parachain on Kusama, Moonbeam is expected to accumulate developer and user activity from the 80+ projects building DApps and protocols on the network. As a parachain on the Polkadot network, Moonbeam benefits from the shared security of the Polkadot Relay Chain and integrations with other chains that are connected to Polkadot.

|  | Polygon and Wanchain to build direct L2-to-L2 cross-chain bridge
Polygon, aplatform for Ethereum scalingand infrastructure development, and Wanchain, a decentralized blockchain interoperability solution, have announced a strategic partnership that will drive further adoption of layer-2 cross-chain bridges.
Wanchain will now deploy direct decentralized cross-chain bridges connecting Polygon withArbitrum. This layer 2-to-layer 2 bridge will enhance Polygons growing suite of solutions, including Polygon Hermez, Polygon PoS, Polygon SDK, and Polygon Avail.
The partnership marks the first instance of using decentralized liquidity pools for a cross-chain bridge. This approach differs fundamentally from the industry-standard Lock-Mint-Burn-Unlock approach previously formalized by Wanchain.
We recognized that needing to pass through Ethereum when moving from one layer-2 to another is self-defeating. Wanchains new L2 bridges preserve the high transaction throughput and low costs of Polygon while remaining efficient []
Li Ni, Wanchain VP of Business Development and Operations
Wanchains cross-chain infrastructurealready supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Wanchain, EOSIO, Binance Smart Chain, Litecoin, XRP Ledger, Moonriver, Avalanche, and Polkadot.
By extending inroads between Abritrum and Polygon PoS, the cross-chain bridge will facilitate better liquidity and utility for users while fostering greater overall interoperability and growth for the Ethereum ecosystem.
