Online Blockchain
plc: Umbria Network Releases Lowest-cost Avalanche Cross-chain
Bridge
- Narni bridge
provides quickest,
cheapest transfer of ETH between Ethereum and Avalanche blockchains
-
Umbria ($UMBR)
is pleased to announce the full public launch of its highly
anticipated Avalanche (AVAX) bridge ahead of schedule.
Users of
Umbria's Narni liquidity bridge - bridge.umbria.network
- can now
move their Ether (ETH) between the Ethereum Mainnet and the
Avalanche network quickly, easily and cheaply at approximately a
90% discount to the official AVAX bridging solution. Comparison
testing of the two bridges for sending 0.01 ETH from the Ethereum
network to the Avalanche network (February 11th,
2022) provided the following results:
Narni
Bridge - Cost: $2.43; transaction
speed: 2 minutes and 42 seconds
AVAX
official bridge - Cost $27.62; transaction
speed: 10 minutes and 34 seconds

The Narni
bridge already provides the fastest and cheapest bridging from the
Ethereum network to the Polygon network and
Binance Smart Chain (and vice versa) and will
shortly be adding Fantom. A further eight bridges for
EVM-compatible chains are planned in 2022 as per the Umbria
roadmap.
In addition to transferring assets between these networks, users
can provide liquidity to the bridge as a single asset
to earn high
APY with no impermanent loss. Whenever a participant bridges 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 - bridge.umbria.network/pool.
"Onboarding
new crypto users to Avalanche can be difficult due to the technical
challenges and knowledge required, the lengthy transaction times
and the prohibitive costs. Our bridging protocol removes these
barriers, which ultimately increases access to Avalanche projects
from Ethereum," said Barney Chambers, co-lead developer and founder
of Umbria Network. "We're looking forward to introducing an even
wider audience to the Umbria ecosystem and are excited to be moving
ever closer to being the hub for the cheapest and fastest
cross-chain transactions."

Operating within
the DeFi and NFT space, Umbria Network enables anyone to migrate
cryptocurrency assets across chain cheaply and quickly and earn
high APYs on those assets with no impermanent
loss.
Umbria's flagship
Narni cross-chain bridge is solving current blockchain
interoperability issues. Narni removes the difficulty and expense
of moving assets between blockchains and is the fastest and
cheapest cross-chain liquidity bridge between the Ethereum and
Polygon networks. Narni eliminates the barriers to entry for
engaging with DeFi applications and NFTs making them much more
accessible to a wider audience.
The Umbria
ecosystem, built on Polygon, has three major protocols:
-
A
Cross-chain Asset Bridge: enables the fast and cheap
transfer of assets between otherwise incompatible blockchains and
cryptocurrency networks.
-
A Staking
Pool:
users can earn interest on their crypto assets by providing
liquidity to the Narni bridge
-
A
Decentralised Exchange (DEX): an automated liquidity
protocol powered by a constant product formula, deployed using
smart contracts and governed entirely on-chain. Provides fast and
cheap token swapping
UK-publicly
listed
Online Blockchain plc (LSE: OBC)
acts as Umbria's coordinator, administrator and advisor. This
provides a level of transparency rare in the DeFi space.
