Alium Finance added Moonriver to the list of Blockchains available on Alium Finance Decentralized Exchange. Also, the company also launched cross-chain bridges that connect the Binance Smart Chain and Moonbeam, MoonRiver, Near Aurora blockchains. This will allow users to seamlessly transfer ALM tokens between these blockchains. In addition, the minimum limit on deposits in ALM tokens was increased to 1000 tokens for entering the Strong Holders pool.
“We continue to expand our capabilities and integrate new blockchains, which will allow users safe and convenient token transfers between different blockchains with one click. We also plan to integrate a number of other popular networks. Thanks to this, Alium.Finance users will be able to send crypto coins and stablecoins created on different blockchains without intermediaries. The exchange will be carried out automatically in the Token — ALM — Token,” the company explains.
MoonRiver (Moonbeam) is an Ethereum compatible smart contract parachain on Kusama. It is intended to be a companion network to Moonbeam where it provides a continuously boosted canary network. First, the new code is sent to Moonriver, where it can be tested and validated under real economic conditions. Once verified, the same code is sent to Moonbeam on Polkadot.
To do this, a full EVM implementation, a Web3-compatible API, and bridges that connect Moonriver to existing Ethereum networks are provided. This allows developers to deploy existing Solidity smart contracts and Moonriver DApp frontends with minimal changes.
The Aurora Near blockchain provides compatibility with Ethereum and serves to scale the main Near blockchain. Thanks to this, fast transfer of transactions with a low commission for gas is achieved. Also, the company makes a significant contribution to the development of the DeFi market. The total blocked liquidity of Aurora Near exceeds $496 million, and the number of projects launched on this blockchain has already reached 86 companies. The implementation of the Aurora blockchain will allow Alium.Finance users seamlessly transfer, store, and trade tokens created on this platform. With low costs, best-in-class transaction finality, and scalability, Aurora redefines what is possible in the Ethereum ecosystem while also expanding NEAR’s ecosystem to welcome and accommodate EVM-based applications. With Aurora, Ethereum users can work with familiar applications while benefiting from the efficiency of NEAR; as the transaction cost is several orders of magnitude cheaper than that of Ethereum, Aurora removes a steep financial barrier to entry for users and developers — especially newcomers to the ecosystem.
The introduction of three blockchains will allow Alium.Finance users to get direct access to the networks, as well as attract a new audience to the site, freely send tokens using our bridges. In addition, this event is of great importance for token holders. By attracting a new audience to Alium.Finance, we get new users, liquidity and trading volumes which would positively affect the value of the ALM token,” the company commented.
Today, the Alium.Finance platform already supports 9 of the most popular blockchains, including BSC, Huobi ECO Chain, Polygon Matic, Fantom Opera, Ethereum, Metis, Moonriver, Moonbeam and Aurora. This allows users to seamlessly exchange tokens created on different blockchains quickly and securely. In addition, the developers of Alium.Finance are constantly improving the mechanisms of protection and security.
Hey there, everyone! As February has come to an end, we resume our monthly development updates article cycle. February was quite a prolific month for Alium Finance team — the development, marketing, and design departments were working tirelessly, as a result, we’ve made extensive progress in numerous fields. Fasten your seatbelts — we are getting into details!
Major Updates
Hybrid Liquidity All Chains Support
One of the most prominent features of AliumSwap — Hybrid Liquidity which allows using third-party liquidity in case of insufficient liquidity — has been finally rolled out for all chains AliumSwap currently supports. No more huge price impact, no more ‘not enough liquidity’ error messages. AliumSwap is all about convenience and a smooth user experience.
As we’re nearing the end of the first year of project development, our team has finally decided that the timing is perfect for the first CEX listing. It’s our pleasure to get listed on MEXC exchange — one of the most popular centralized exchanges out there. With MEXC 6 bln$ daily trading volumes, we expect to get many more $ALM holders and ramp up the trading volume substantially. Along with the listing, we’ve launched an aggressive marketing campaign to attract traders’ attention to the $ALM token.
Metis Andromeda Integration&Bridge Deployment
It is about time we added one of the L2 Rollups on AliumSwap because Ethereum isn’t going anywhere in the nearest future. We have been following Metis development for a long time and we think it has deserved its place as one of the chains featured on AliumSwap DEX. Metis-EVM bridge is also ready for use.
We have chosen Metis as one of the most promising Optimistic Rollups solutions on the market. Metis has shown a great dynamic in terms of trading volumes and market cap over the last year. Their development team is high-skilled and they implement new features on a weekly basis. The opportunities Metis network provides are virtually limitless: DAO/DAC, easy Dapps integration, NFT minting and trading — everything a crypto enterprise might need in the rising Web 3.0 economy. We also believe that we can have a mutually beneficial partnership at some point of time in the future as well as attract a new user base represented by fellow Metisians.
Minor Updates
Farming ticket purchase is no longer available until the start of Wave 2
It’s now possible to add a token from the token list straight to your wallet with one click.
New SHP 2.0 Contract is deployed, from now on users will be entering the new contract pools, old pools are still being managed by the old contract. Minimum entry threshold has been set — 1000 ALM.
