Connext Weekly #40

(Sept 23-30, 2022)

Welcome to a new week of multi-chain world Connextors!

Let’s take a look together at what happened in the previous days of Connext Network!

Last week in Connext Ecosystem

Lending aggregator FujiDAO integrated Connext

FujiDAO is a lending platform that identifies the best rates on multiple protocols to reduce the cost for users and the friction to manage multiple tools, and now multiple chains.

With the combined powers of Connext Network and FujiFinance:

• Users can interact from any chain,

• Borrow on any chain,

• Use collateral on any chain always with the best rate across multiple lending platforms.

FujiV2 makes the best of Connext Amarok and erc4626 vaults to:

• improve the user experience (abstracting the complexity of xchain swaps)

• access new protocols on new chains and find better rates

Read more about the partnership we explained here (by Connext Weekly) and here (by Connext Network).

Did you try Amarok Test yet?

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

Read more about the Amarok Testnet here.

Mainnet soon.

• As we stabilize and complete the audits, we are keen to move to mainnet as soon as possible.

Multi Chain NFT marketplace'leri henüz çok yaygınlaşmadı. Bunun birçok sebebi var, bunlardan en önemli sebeplerinden biri zincirler arası çalışabilirliğin kısıtlı olması. Bunun için @0xTahos ve @aalimsahin ile @ConnextNetwork kullanarak proje geliştirdik.

Another #Hackathon to remember…This time I was hacking for @miamidadedao & @ethermiami in order to provide resources for the most underrepresented communities in #Miami through an ID. Thank you @ETHGlobal @worldcoin and @ConnextNetwork for all the support. Tag the winners !

1) What is xChain? A @ConnextNetwork innovation. According to their doc, xChain is: "When there is one interface that aggregates data from all chains so that users have a single consolidated experience."

Was ussing @ConnextNetwork and noticed how cools is the ens avatar on the website

Arjun | xcall me maybe @arjunbhuptani

This is a tradeoff space we've been exploring @ConnextNetwork a bit: Is it better to bootstrap liquidity for long tail assets in a bridge? OR Is it better to use existing liquidity of long tail assets from "local" AMMs, and simply route to them over ETH or USDC?

Arjun | LI.FI @arjunnchand

10/ Some of my favorite research articles include: 1) bridge deep dives - started with building a framework for such articles. Our first one covered @ConnextNetwork.

Devs Do Something Podcast @DDS_HQ

One of the coolest things we learned from @RHLSTHRM about is that cross chain tech like @ConnextNetwork will make *asynchronous* solidity a thing. Rahul walked us through callbacks that can execute arbitrary logic on a destination chain when performing a cross chain operation⬇️

Cross Chain Coalition (🍹 Bogota, 10/12) @crosschainco

5/ 📰 Other Cross Chain Headlines 📰 Love to hear it! Our dream of cross chain singularity is slowly realized by projects like this. @FujiFinance partners with @ConnextNetwork to bring interchain collateralization. As Fuji is explored, we stand by 🗻
