4 min readDec 2, 2021

It seems the whole Polygon NFT space is suddenly discovering the greatness of the Narni Bridge.

In last month’s roundup we told you about our collaborations with Aavegotchi, FunkoBits and Shroom Folk. In addition to these, we’ve officially announced our partnerships with Aww, Rats!, Elegant Elephants Society, Matic Mike and SPKY FRSH who all advocate using the Narni Bridge to their community for sending funds between the Ethereum and Polygon networks at the lowest rates. Read more below.

Further partnerships have been announced via our social media channels. We’ll be doing another round up news release to officially introduce these exciting projects later in the month.

Schiller Interview — Narni Bridge, A Replacement to the Polygon Bridge

DevOskii and DevBarnyard joined one of our favourite NFT Twitchers Schiller for a live stream. They talked about how the Narni bridge is being developed, Binance Smart Chain integration and the other chains that will follow. Watch the YouTube video taken from the live stream.

DeFi Clinic

Our co-lead devs joined crypto expert Stefania Barbaglio for the first DeFi Clinic. It’s a great opportunity for novices, intermediates and even those more expert in the field to ask all their burning DeFi questions.

Zed Run competition

Both our Zed Run competitions came to an end. #RunningWithUmbria was a simple re-tweet, like and tag competition. DorkLovesSport was picked at random to win a Zed Run foal 🐎

The second competition #WinningWithUmbria was a little more complicated. Contestants had to name a foal with a moniker inspired by Umbria and then win a Zed Run race with it. We had seven winners who each received 0.03 of WETH.

King of Umbria was one of the winners.

Congratulations to everyone.

AIBC summit

Stefania did a fantastic job of representing Umbria in the DeFi conference section of the AIBC summit in Malta when she had to step in for DevBarnyard who’d been forced to self-isolate #Covidtimes.

Aww, Rats! interview

DevBarnyard chatted to new partner Aww, Rats! where he explained how it’s possible to bridge assets from ETH Mainnet to Polygon so much cheaper than with the native Polygon bridge. They also discussed how Umbria ensures security on the network and covered what DeFi/farming opportunities are available on the Umbria platform and how to buy/earn $UMBR (and a lot more).

Arken Finance x Umbria AMA

The Umbria team was in action with Arken Finance for an AMA about improving the DeFi user experience. It was a great platform for introducing the Narni bridge to their community.

Aavegotchi, NFTs, DeFi and Narni

The Financial Fox spoke with Jesse Johnson, founder and COO of Aavegotchi — a Tamagotchi inspired digital pets game that combines NFTs, DeFi and the Metaverse. Conversation turned to interoperability and bridges (14:40 minutes). Jesse highlighted how the Narni bridge has removed the friction points for transferring the game’s native $GHST token and how users are rewarded for providing liquidity.

Umbria Network Bridge (Integrating With BSC Soon)

Schiller takes a third party look at the Narni Bridge discussing how it allows you to bridge your crypto assets from Ethereum to Polygon and the upcoming integration with Binance Smart Chain. He also covers Narni’s high APY with no impermanent loss.

FF Awards

Umbria was a finalist in the ‘Best WOW in Blockchain’ category in the FF Awards alongside the very good company of VALK, Zumo, Hiveonline and Ziglu. Zumo scooped the award; next year will be our year!

Total Value Locked (TVL) tops $3.5 million

Keep an eye on our Discord and Twitter to get all the latest news first and find out more about some of the projects we’re collaborating and partnering with. We’ll be hosting a Twitter Space with a number of them on December 7th at 3pm UTC — come and join for a chat.

Until next time,

The Umbria team 🚀
