Umbria Aurora — August digest
The Bridge of Augustus — aka the Narni bridge — it was only fitting that the HUGE news of our Narni Cross-Chain Liquidity Bridge going live came in this month 🎉
Umbria’s Cross-Chain Narni Bridge is Now Live
The bridge (bridge.umbria.network) went live August 16th to facilitate the fast, cheap and easy transfer of $UMBR between the Ethereum Mainnet and Matic Mainnet.
As if getting the cheapest cross chain transactions from Ethereum to Polygon wasn’t enough, we announced how users can ‘Pool and Earn’ ie get APY by adding liquidity to the Narni bridge — bridge.umbria.network/pool.
Here are the full details:
Cheap, Fast and Easy Bridging of USDT Now Available on Umbria Network
We quickly followed up the launch with news that USDT can be bridged using Narni. Again users can earn APY, in this case by lending their USDT to the bridge (as a single asset).
Stablecoins are expected to accrue higher fee generation on Narni because of their popularity and uses.
“With Narni, it’s a lot easier for people to use their crypto assets across different networks, and the addition of USDT is another milestone,” said Oscar Chambers, Co-lead developer of Umbria. “We’re going to be rapidly introducing other assets with an initial focus on stablecoins. We are already seeing the staking feature of the Narni Bridge attracting yield farmers to provide valuable liquidity to bridge the Matic and Ethereum communities and in return provide themselves with a lucrative return on their crypto.”
