The Umbria Narni bridge now supports the cross-chain migration of Aavegotchi token (GHST) between the Ethereum and Polygon networks.

Now there is a cheaper and faster way to transfer GHST tokens from Ethereum to Polygon and back again. Introducing the Umbria Narni Bridge, a cross-chain bridging solution which offers a superior user experience.

What is the Narni Bridge?

The Narni Bridge is a liquidity-provision bridge. This means that as well as being able to bridge tokens quickly and cheaply, anyone can lend their assets (ie be a liquidity provider) to the bridge to facilitate other participants’ bridging. Liquidity providers earn fees whenever their assets are used for bridging. Unlike the traditional validator bridge offered by Polygon, Umbria’s Narni Bridge does the validation legwork, which greatly speeds up and cheapens the process.

Tests conducted by the Umbria team have shown great improvement in bridging time and speed:

Bridging GHST using Polygon Official Bridge

Cost: $110 — $140

Speed: 48 Minutes

Bridging GHST using Umbria Narni Bridge

Cost: $50

Speed: 4 Minutes

How to provide GHST liquidity to earn APY

You can provide GHST liquidity to the Umbria Narni bridge and earn more GHST every five minutes with no impermanent loss. Each time someone uses the bridge, the bridge takes a 0.5% fee. Of this, 0.2% is given to the liquidity providers of the token in question — in this case GHST — and 0.3% is given to those who’ve staked UMBR (Umbria’s native token) in the bridge.
