Router Protocol Launches Testnet, Solving Cross-Chain Issues
• Router Protocol, an infrastructure enterprise enabling communication between blockchains, announced the launch of its Layer 1 blockchain testnet.
• The primary purpose of Router Chain is to increase Web3 adoption by solving existing problems in cross-blockchain communications.
• With Router Chain, developers have access to features such as MetaMask compatibility, cross-chain meta transactions, and transaction batching.
Router Protocol Launches Testnet for Router Chain
Router Protocol, an infrastructure enterprise enabling communication between blockchains, announced on Wednesday, May 23rd that it has launched the testnet of its Layer 1 blockchain – Router Chain – with the aim of increasing Web3 adoption by solving existing problems in cross-blockchain communications.
Benefits for Developers
With Router Chain, developers are granted numerous benefits including infra-level flexibility (developers can use either OmniChain framework or CrossTalk framework depending on their requirements), modular security (dApps have access to three layers of security at protocol level, bridge level and application level) and features such as MetaMask Compatibility, Cross-chain Meta Transactions Acknowledgments and Refunds Decentralized Read Calls Transaction Batching Atomicity Expiry Timestamp.
Testnet Supports Five Major Blockchain Networks
The testnet is available on Ethereum (Goerli), Polygon (Mumbai), Avalanche (Fuji), Base, and BNB Chain blockchains allowing external validators to participate in the network for the first time. This will make it possible to achieve true decentralisation.
Onboarding External Validators
The Router Protocol team has already started onboarding external validators with a goal to onboard over 60 during testnet to secure their network.
Conclusion
Router Protocol’s launch of its Layer 1 blockchain is a huge milestone for the protocol as it would make it possible for developers to create interoperable apps that are secure and scalable.
