has announced the launch of a new cross-chain bridge, created via a collaboration between its team and , billed as a step towards attracting liquidity from other blockchains to Tezos.
MadFish is the development team behind some of Tezos’s most widely used applications, such as Temple Wallet and the Quipuswap DEX. The new cross-chain bridge, which MadFish originally blogged about in January, allows users to move liquidity from the Polygon blockchain and BNB Chain to Tezos, with the potential for integration with 14 other chains. The code has been audited by Cossack Labs.
Primarily, this bridge should help NFT collectors from other blockchains to start working with Tezos NFT marketplaces and make it easier for DeFi users to discover new earning opportunities on Tezos - MadFish
Allbridge offers a modern cross-chain solution that currently connects and bridges 17 blockchain protocols (including Tezos). Cross-chain bridges are important because assets that live on one blockchain are not always compatible with another.
Cross-chain solutions like Allbridge allow users to move assets between Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and non-EVM compatible blockchains, and other Layer 2 solutions. The Quipuswap DEX acts as a gateway for people using the bridge. To date, Allbridge has moved near $5.3 billion worth of assets.
