Monthly Development Report | February 2023
We were able to make substantial progress with our first non-EVM integration to MultiSwap that is of Cudos Network.
Summary
We were able to make substantial progress with our first non-EVM integration to MultiSwap that is of Cudos Network. We conducted successful swaps through our MultiSwap UI and presented a successful demo to the Cudos team. Along with integrating our first non-EVM-Compatible network, we are also working on Node Infra updates and adding Refinery and Ionic asset swaps. Both of these functionalities are the focus of Q1 2023 for our MultiSwap and Integrations team. We are aiming to launch integrations of MultiSwap for a few more networks.
Our mainnet work is picking up steam with multiple releases coming out every week and some exciting updates for node runners planned for Q1 2023.

Mainnet
We had significant progress on the mainnet development front. A whole ecosystem of Testnet, Quantum Portal Explorer, and tooling and documentation for node runners at different roles were developed. This includes a hosted POC of the quantum portal multi chain explorer.
We will continue with development of the Testnet with particular focus on technical aspects of the para chain development.
MultiSwap
The MultiSwap team is upgrading the Node Infra to add security and redundancy for abandoned transactions. Additionally, the MultiSwap team is working on releasing Refinery and Ionic Swaps in our Public Alpha in Q1 2023.
COSMWASM MultiSwap Integration
Our Cudos Integration team has successfully conducted their first EVM to non-EVM MultiSwap using Cudos CLI integration with MultiSwap. Now the team is focusing on integrating the UI to enable swaps through Kepler Integration.
The Merge
An important item for this quarter was merging the supplies of FRMx and FRM in order to ensure the success and longevity of the Ferrum Network. The Merge is designed to simplify Ferrum’s tokenomics, technology, roadmap, and value proposition to new and existing community members.
You can read more about the merge here.
Crucible on Arbitrum
Ferrum is taking the opportunity of the Merge to continue its multichain endeavors. We have done a considerable amount of due diligence on all of the major players and have concluded that Arbitrum is the best fit for the newly minted FRM supply. Since cFRM will now exist on Arbitrum, that also means that Crucible is also now compatible with Arbitrum! Users who receive FRM in exchange for their FRMx will be able to immediately stake their token in the Crucible dashboard.
