Did you try Amarok Testnet yet?

You can now bridge, run a router, or build on top of the newest Connext upgrade.

From the Connext Community

Admiano.evmos @Admiano

Yes! And that's @ConnextNetwork No, not the present system as it is. With the upcoming #Amarok upgrade, you will be able to call smart contracts across chains. This is a game changer for the network, thanks to its #NXTP Protocol. Amarok is currently live on public #testnet

Swapr @SwaprEth

Swapr Beta V14.2 is live 🔥 Features 💜 • Eco Router @MEVprotection Integration • Eco Bridge (Please note: early beta): Integrations for @ConnextNetwork, OmniBridge, @SocketDotTech support for @0xPolygon • Redesigned Liquidity Page See it here ⬇️ swapr.eth.limo

Danny Organ (⚫️,⚫️) 🦇🔊 @organ_danny

most bridges rely on a M of N trust model: if M parties out of N validators securing the bridge are dishonest, the bridge is hacked. @nomadxyz_ is a bridge that relies on a 1 of N trust model: any single honest validator can prevent fraud. preventing abuse > trusting validators

Downtown Moonbeam @dtmb_xyz

4/ The @ConnextNetwork have announced that they have decided to temporarily delay the launch of the $NEXT token while they wait for conditions to stabilize and research a distribution structure that better targets supporters and community.

blog.connext.networkWEN $NEXT — Token Launch UpdateGiven recent market conditions and volatility, we have decided to delay our token distribution temporarily. Read the reasons.

Soon @SnoopDogg will be able to securely bridge his @BoredApeYC to any chain thanks to @nfthashi

Danylo Soloviov @DanyloSoloviov

I see the future of Web3 for the regular user as no need to think about the chains. For that we ll need powerful bridges working under the hood. I believe Connext is the most progressive on that way for now. There is also a crosschain solution for NFTs built on Connext - NFThashi https://t.co/VaTvSRkaKG

David Ryan (dryan.eth) @davidryan59

@BitcoinIsaiah @MartinSteingru1 @BTC_Archive I've used @arbitrum, @optimism, @zksync They all work very nicely, fast smooth cheap transactions with full Ethereum security Bridging between them is easy with @ConnextNetwork @Orbiter_Finance Hop etc What "mess" are you referring to?

Kiri 🇺🇦 kyrylo22.dao @Kyrylo22

Interesting to listen to what @2d_eddie from @ConnextNetwork talking about. He's talking about fully cross-domain apps with a strong focus on security. Full speech is here: youtu.be/Cy8pAfrdjkU

Token Terminal @tokenterminal

Daily bridge volume & active users for @ConnextNetwork. Link to the chart: tokenterminal.com/terminal/proje…

NFTHashi | The most secure crosschain NFT protocol @nfthashi

We would love to share our new fantastic logo made by @ConnextNetwork community!!! 🌉 HASHI means "Bridge" in Japanese. This logo expresses the bridge, H (initial of Hashi), and Japanese-style atmosphere! We're so happy that the community has produced such great work!

Cross Chain Coalition @crosschainco

1/ 🔎 Inside the Coalition 🔍 Our frens do it again 🙌 @ConnextNetwork takes decentralized devops platform @thekeep3r and the curious @DeFi_Wonderland securely cross-chain ⛓ Now @0xPolygon, @optimismFND, and @FantomFDN are within reach.

Connext | ✖chain composability 🧱 @ConnextNetwork

🚨New Integration: @thekeep3r & @DeFi_Wonderland A new exciting crosschain development to bring @Uniswap V3 TWAP + other tokens across chains in a secure & trust minimized way (without using oracles). This will enable @thekeep3r to operate multichain 1/ https://t.co/qFtsJT58Og
