We had an amazing launch on Binance Smart Chain and PancakeSwap last week. It only took hours until first crypto projects asked us about our bridge. So we decided to decentralize & license it to others. Our partner YOP.finance is the first licensee!

If you haven’t done so yet, join the Tixl journey here: Telegram Announcement Channel, Telegram Group and Twitter.

If crypto ERC20 projects want to list on PancakeSwap or a BSC DEX, they have to offer their token holders a ERC20 <-> BEP20 Bridge. Binance itself has one, but only offers this to projects that are listed on binance.com. However, only a handful of smaller Altcoins are. This is the reason why Tixl has not been able to use the Binance bridge itself. As a result, we decided to build a bridge ourselves. In addition, we wanted to have a bridge that is fully decentralized; the Binance Bridge is not.

The same problem that Tixl had is existent for many projects willing to migrate to or list on BSC or as a BEP20 token. Just hours after we released our bridge, many projects knocked on our door and asked whether they can use our bridge too.

We thought about it and, in favor for all our TXL investors, we decided to build a small side business out of it. From now on, we license our ERC20 <-> BEP20 bridge to all projects interested (interested projects can send an email to bridge@tixl.org). Collected license fees will benefit all TXL holders. A detailed explanation how will be communicated soon.

Our first client and partner is YOP.finance. YOP stands for what they build, a Yield Optimization Platform & Protocol. We are happy to welcome them as our first bridge client! In addition, we are looking forward to evaluate other areas of cooperation. In the future, yield optimization might also be a relevant topic for Tixl’s Autobahn Network or other Tixl products.

This is how Atif from YOP summarizes the deal:

“We really like what Tixl is building. With a German engineering team in the background, this quality bridge product is the ideal and most reliable solution for our problem. We are looking forward to working with Tixl on various other topics.”

Sebastian Gronewold, our Tixl Co-Founder, is very happy too:

“Initially, we wanted to just solve the bridge problem for TXL. But now being able to use that product and license it to others is perfect to bring Tixl’s technology to more projects in the crypto space — as these are valuable contacts once our interoperable Smart Contracts & dApps Network go live.”
