Liquidity lending protocol reduces costs and speeds up bridging

Narni uses a novel liquidity lending protocol, which hosts liquidity pools of singular assets on different networks. As well as significantly speeding up and reducing the costs of transactions, it generates fee-based rewards for liquidity providers who add a single asset to the bridge.

Whenever a participant migrates assets between two cryptocurrency networks using Narni, the liquidity providers receive a share of a 0.2% fee in the native crypto/token they supplied. There are particularly lucrative rewards for anyone staking $UMBR — Umbria’s governance token. These liquidity providers earn their share of a 0.3% fee whenever anyone transfers ANY of the assets supported by the bridge. The APYs can be viewed here:
