Monthly Development Report | March 2023
Summary
The Ferrum team were able to end Q1 of 2023 on a high with a few important milestones achieved. Starting off with MultiSwap, the team were able to successfully conduct Refinery and Ionic swaps and launch it for testing for alpha community. We were also able to complete our bridge integration milestone with Casper network and submit it for approval. The scope of work for Cudos integration was submitted for audit review while the team has been making good progress on enabling more networks for EVM to non-EVM swaps.
For Mainnet, the focus was on converting the Ferrum network to a substrate parachain, we refactored our core logic to work as a substrate parachain, updated our testnet and all the EVM logic. The Ferrum testnet now runs as a parachain using our own testnet.

Mainnet
We have started to build the plumbing and infrastructure to enable Ferrum Network to participate is the dot ecosystem as a parachain. The Ferrum Network testnet was tested running as a parachain against a local fork of polkadot. On the quantum portal side, we have built the fee infrastructure to charge transaction fees on source chains and to reward miners and validators for their contribution.
In the month of April, we are working on integrating xcm communication, and multi-chain transactions between EVM and Polkadot ecosystems.
MultiSwap
The MultiSwap team put in a lot of effort this quarter to successfully launch Refinery and Ionic swaps. Moreover, we were also able to create node signatures for EVM networks. Our next focus will be to collect feedback from community and make required fixes and enhancements.
COSMWASM MultiSwap Integration
We were able to successfully conduct EVM to non-EVM swaps with UI and Keplr wallet integrated. After thorough testing and verification, the scope of Solidity and Cosmwasm has been submitted for audit review.
Token Supply
Ferrum is helping improve Crypto Transparency with AI: A tool that gathers accurate multi-chain supply that can be used to reflect accurate numbers on CMC, CoinGecko, and other aggregators. A primary focus area for Ferrum Network for Q1 of 2023 was releasing Token Supply. @Taha Abbasi our CTO trained the GPT4 model on Ferrum tech and then used this model to build Token Supply. We named the trained model Jarvis. Make sure to check out Jarvis’ work in the dev updates below. Token Supply is a powerful and versatile tool designed to fetch token supply data from various blockchain networks, such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum One, and Avalanche. It simplifies the process of obtaining total token supply, non-circulating supply, and circulating supply for a given token contract address. This information is crucial for developers, analysts, and investors who need accurate and up-to-date token supply data for their applications or projects.
Integration Milestones
