✅ xDai + Elrond Partnership
xDai will partner with Elrond to architect their interoperability solution. The modified TokenBridge will be implemented to enable cross-chain communication between Elrond and Ethereum.
DeFi solutions continue to grow, and interoperability is needed to provide scalability. Excited to see what comes of this partnership!
👷♀ Dev Updates
✅ Connext Reddit entry (Spacefold.io) features xDai
In addition to our entry for the Reddit Bakeoff, Connext entered with their spacefold.io demo, which demonstrates state channels connecting xDai to Rinkeby for cross-chain transfers. This is a second method of interoperability for xDai (along with the TokenBridge), allowing for interoperability without intermediaries.
