We’re excited to announce that HRMP(XCMP-Lite) channels have been opened between Crab Parachain and Moonriver, and the CRAB token and MOVR token will be available on each other’s networks soon.

XCMP is also one of many message protocols that will be supported by Darwinia’s universal cross-chain message network that will allow DApps on Moonriver to easily transact across heterogeneous chains inside and outside the Kusama ecosystem.

About the Moonbeam Network

Github | Website | Medium | Twitter | Telegram

Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform and the top destination for multi-chain applications on the Polkadot network. Ethereum compatibility allows developers to deploy existing Solidity smart contracts and DApp frontends to Moonbeam with minimal changes. Like Moonriver, its sister parachain on Kusama, Moonbeam is expected to accumulate developer and user activity from the 80+ projects building DApps and protocols on the network. As a parachain on the Polkadot network, Moonbeam benefits from the shared security of the Polkadot Relay Chain and integrations with other chains that are connected to Polkadot.

About Crab

Crab is the Kusama canary network of Darwinia, a cross-chain messaging infrastructure, which is focused on providing a reliable and programmable cross-chain platform for decentralized applications. Crab supports cross-chain interoperability and acts as an on-ramp to the Kusama ecosystem. They are working to give developers easy integration of cross-chain capabilities into their DApps, powered by their EVM-compatibility as well as an SDK. They also serve as a link to the metaverse as one of the locations in Evolutionland.

Moonriver’s integration with Crab brings access to the Evolutionland, an additional metaverse integrating NFT blind box GameFi mining and other new gameplay methods on the ecosystem.

About Darwinia Network

Darwinia is a generalized light-client based message delivery network built on Substrate that’s designed to be a foundational layer for the next generation of cross-chain Dapps and games. Darwinia Network provides a highly-secure and programmable bridging framework between heterogeneous chains such as Polkadot, Ethereum, Polygon, and BSC.

Darwinia’s Light-Client Messaging Protocol (LCMP) is a powerful and easy to implement bridging solution provided by the Darwinia Universal Cross-Chain Messaging SDK, and can be used to build cross-chain Dapps such as:

• Cross-Chain DEX: Allow users to exchange assets across multiple chains in a single transaction.

• Lending: Allow users to pledge collateral on one chain and borrow assets on other chains.

• Cross-Chain Asset Bridge: Development of Cross-Chain Asset Bridge integrating Darwinia Universal Cross-Chain Message SDK.

• NFT Market: Bid on auctions taking place on another chain.

• DAO Governance: Allow for a unified multi-chain governance mechanism without needing to move assets to a central voting chain.

• Multi-Chain Gaming: Allow users to transfer NFTs across multiple chains.

The products and tools developed by Darwinia team have been awarded three Web3 Foundation grants and a level-2 Substrate Builders award, and are also mentioned in the Polkadot lightpaper as friends of Polkadot.
