  • All our articles that you may not have read
  • Community Update
  • Dev Update
  • Highlights of the past month and a minor team update

Community Update

Yet again, for the whole month, we were involved in fixing bugs more than in releasing new features. As we said previously, a lot of new chains are coming on our Router, and we don’t forget to post all updates for Beta Testers in our closed chat for the Testers. Also, our devs try to post as often as possible in the channel with updates

We successfully launched our router on Product Hunt. We took #1 in Product of the Day and #3 in weekly ratings. Thank you for your support!

We started an NFT minting event for all those who did a bridge via Via. Already 17,000 NFTs have been minted!
This event has faced an intense stress test over the first 2 days due to high traffic on the website, but that hasn’t stopped us from building and fixing all problems with minting and bridging. While recent events have shown us our weak places, which we successfully update. And now, we have been on how our product can help the long-term partners. You can still mint your NFT for the bridge. This event will end on August 15.

Also, about the NFT start, we had problems with our router. Here is a short thread on what happened.

Trading Competition.
FYI. Only for NFT holders!

Now we knew what to do in August, so stick to Twitter for new announcements.

Okay, guys!

Our CEO was at the ETHCC in Paris, and a lot of new IRL friends and partners from this event. Looking forward to making something with them:)

Some numbers for the future us:

  • Twitter 17000→ 20600
  • Discord 7000→ 12000

Dev Update

This month, we’ve made lots of exciting thingies on our Router, and those features are unique in this market, so you have a view of the best router. So, on the app itself, we had lots of new features, and the various bridges and providers have been added.Nothing to add more, we are building and trying to integrate as many networks as we can. We currently have 17 networks; the new ones are in the beta test or can work only with USDC<>USDC. You can try them right now!

If you have any suggestions in terms of our Router, you can write them into Share-Your -Experience or Proposal channels. We will review them and probably could add it the next sprint.
