Exciting times are upon us in the Metis ecosystem! We're delighted to announce that Metis is teaming up with Connext, a superstar in cross-chain bridges and liquidity solutions, to bring even more flexibility, options, and innovation to our community. This collaboration is more than just a bridge integration. Let's dive into what makes Connext a standout in the blockchain space!
Connext has been leading the way in cross-chain technology since 2017. Connext is an intent-based modular interoperability protocol that enables near-instant bridging with top-tier security, in addition to powerful developer tooling. Connext enables developers to build crosschain Web3 applications (xApps) that can interact with any user on any chain with any token, reflecting the interconnectedness of the web. With Connext's unique intent layer and support for arbitrary messaging, a wide range of new possibilities are unlocked. Connext is revolutionizing how we think about and engage with blockchain networks by enabling Chain Abstraction and pushing for public goods, such as the xERC20 crosschain token standard.
The xERC20 standard offers zero-slippage cross-chain transfers while allowing token issuers to retain full control over their contracts. This means users always receive the same “official" token when bridging, eliminating the need for bridge liquidity and ensuring issuers remain in control of their token contracts.
