deBridge Mainnet is here

deBridge mainnet has launched

deBridge was born after winning the Chainlink Global Hackathon during the spring of last year and now, after 10 months of hard work and overcoming seemingly unsolvable tasks, we’re very excited to announce that deBridge has officially launched on mainnet!

The mission towards a multi-chain future

deBridge is an internet of blockchains, a cross-chain infrastructure, that has been created to unite all blockchain ecosystems and provide freedom to users and protocols that now can easily decide what blockchain or L2 they want to operate in and easily move between ecosystems. The permissionless design of the protocol allows users and projects to exchange any arbitrary data and assets between all blockchain networks, starting with Ethereum, BSC, HECO, Arbitrum, and Polygon. More chains will come soon.

Mainnet Beta features

deBridge have entered the first stage of their mainnet. The rollout will be over several stages where they will include new features and improvements, supporting more thriving blockchains and ecosystems, introducing more partner integrations, building out developer resources and tools, and more. It will be some exciting months ahead, but a lot of the core infrastructure and opportunities to start going cross-chain are available today.

At this point, the deBridge mainnet enables projects and users the following:

• An infrastructure and application that allows bridging and transferring of any arbitrary assets and data across all five supported chains.
• Cross-chain swaps of specific assets between three chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Polygon.
• Implemented an entire interoperability framework for protocols and applications to go cross-chain and tap into various cross-chain opportunities.

deBridge is also excited to announce partnerships with DEX aggregators 1inch and ParaSwap as they will continue to build efficient infrastructure for cross-chain swaps between any arbitrary assets. Cross-chain swaps will be one of the first applications built on top of the deBridge infrastructure which uses the protocol to pass liquidity and instructions between different blockchains in the same transaction.

Alex Smirnov, Co-Founder and CEO at deBridge, shared some thoughts about the mainnet launch and milestone: “After more than six months of stable operation with our Testnet 1.0 and 2.0, with improvements of the protocol and its infrastructure, we are pleased to launch the deBridge mainnet. The launch of mainnet beta marks deBridge officially entering a stage towards the new era of cross-chain interoperability. With the explosive development of DeFi, NFT, and DAOs, powered by various blockchains, deBridge aims to be a standard for cross-chain interoperability with a global mission to interconnect all blockchain ecosystems.”

Cross-chain opportunities

Protocols and applications can already start integrating with the deBridge infrastructure to tap into various cross-chain opportunities. These can for instance be:

• Let users from other blockchain ecosystems interact with their protocol without the need to switch wallets/networks.
• Scale up to other ecosystems and exchange commands/data between components deployed in different chains.
• Integrate with protocols from other ecosystems.
• Bridge NFTs preserve their internal logic and make them interoperable between Metaverses.
• Build new types of cross-chain applications and primitives.

Building cross-chain applications and primitives have become a reality and much easier than many might think. They encourage developers and projects to dive into some examples and explore how to get started via our Github. Some cross-chain use cases include algorithmic stablecoins, DEXs, and wallets.

The opportunities are nearly endless as deBridge is a cross-chain framework that connects every smart contract on every chain in the ecosystem. If you are a developer or represent a project interested to explore any of these possibilities don’t hesitate to contact us on Discord or Telegram, so we can get you started going cross-chain. They can’t wait to see all the new applications and primitives being built!
