Cross-Chain Integration with Moonbeam Brings Multichain Assets to Equilibrium

Singapore – May 8, 2023 – MoonbeamGo to page https://moonbeam.network/, the top destination for multi-chain applications on Polkadot, has announced a cross-chain connected contractGo to page https://moonbeam.network/blog/cross-chain-smart-contracts/ integration with Equilibrium that brings Multichain assets to Equilibrium via Moonbeam. A community-approved bi-directional HRMP channelGo to page https://forum.moonbeam.foundation/t/referendum-77-status-passed-open-accept-hrmp-channel-to-from-equilibrium-and-register-eq-eqd-assets/248/2 between Moonbeam and Equilibrium made it possible for GLMR, EQ token and EQD stablecoinGo to page https://medium.com/equilibrium-eosdt/how-eqd-differs-from-algorithmic-stablecoins-like-ust-and-its-protection-from-a-meltdown-91967d154712 to move between the chains and now supports bridged liquidity from outside the Polkadot ecosystem demonstrating the potential of the Moonbeam connected contractGo to page https://moonbeam.network/builders/connected-contracts/ strategy.

Recently, an XCM connection between Moonbeam and Equilibrium was established using a bi-directional HRMP channel. This integration registered Equilibrium’s native tokens EQ and EQD stablecoin as xcEQ and xcEQD and allowed them to be used on Moonbeam Network. Additionally, the GLMR token can be used on Equilibrium. This XCM integration is the foundation for Moonbeam Routed Liquidity (MRL), in which Moonbeam serves as a router to bring liquidity from external blockchains such as Ethereum to Polkadot parachainsGo to page https://moonbeam.network/education/what-is-a-parachain/.

Equilibrium is a Substrate-based DeFi protocol parachain on Polkadot that unites a high-leverage money market and an order book decentralized exchange (DEX) with margin trading. Equilibrium offers on-chain price discovery and system-wide insurance by enabling participants to separate and transfer volatility risk and price event risk from borrowers to insurers. Access to Ethereum and other non-substrate-based assets is important for scaling and stability.

As a fully EVM-compatible parachain with the ability to design smart contracts that access functionalities on remote blockchains through integrated cross-chain messaging, enables Moonbeam users to bring assets and liquidity to Equilibrium via Moonbeam’s Multichain connectionGo to page https://forum.moonbeam.foundation/t/referendum-79-status-passed-register-xc-20-xcwbtc-multi-xceth-multi-and-xcusdc-multi-tokens/269/8. Use cases for cross-chain connected contracts continue to be built out and implemented, improving UX and connecting ecosystems in new ways.
