Darwinia, the cross-chain messaging infrastructure for decentralized applications, has announced the new HRMP(XCMP-Lite) channels have been opened between Crab Parachain and Crust Shadow, and the CRAB token and CSM token will be available to deposit and use on each other’s networks soon.

Crust Shadow now supports storage function, it enables parachain users directly use the decentralized storage and store their data to IPFS. The XCM integration between Crab Parachian and Crust Shadow will bring the Crab ecosystem with decentralized storage of solidity smart contracts and Dapp data, while Crust Shadow can also take advantage of Darwinia Universal Cross-Chain Messaging SDK to implement cross-chain development.

Darwinia Universal Cross-Chain Messaging SDK is a solidity library that provides the easiest way for decentralized applications to become cross-chain applications. The SDK abstracts away the technical bits of LCMP and other cross-chain protocols for developers, reducing the level of difficulty required to use them. It allows developers to focus on integrating only the capabilities they need, from the blockchains that provide them. In addition to the LCMP that has been successfully developed, Darwinia, as a universal cross-chain messaging infrastructure, will also support a variety of messaging protocols, such as XCMP, ROLLUP, etc. Through the SDK, the Dapps on Crust will be able to easily transact across heterogeneous chains inside and outside the Kusama ecosystem, which will bring full interoperability between multiple chains.

Crust Network is a versatile, purpose-built storage blockchain that delivers truly decentralized file storage and hosting capabilities for the entire Web3 ecosystem, empowering privacy and data ownership. Crust Network enables dApp hosting, NFT metadata storage and encrypted file storage across a wide range of blockchains. Crust Network currently has 2300+ nodes and 950+ PB of storage capacity. Experience our applications Crust Files and our upcoming Crust NFT! Crust Shadow is a “Kusama version” for Crust Network, it won the auction for the 19th parachain slot and was awarded the parachain ID 2012. CSM token is the native token of Crust Shadow Network.

Darwinia is a cross-chain messaging infrastructure, which provides a light client-based, programmable, universal cross-chain messaging network for decentralized applications. Now, we’ve successfully used Darwinia’s light-client cross-chain messaging protocol(LCMP) to bridge cross-chain messages between substrate-based chains, and even between substrate-based chains and EVM chains, meanwhile, Darwinia provides developers with the SDK, and developers can easily integrate cross-chain capabilities into their Dapps. This will have profound implications for cross-chain interoperability, and Darwinia will as a cross-chain messaging infrastructure to prompt the building of a hybrid cross-chain network for Polkadot.

Crab is a canary network with real economic value for Darwinia, positioning similar to Polkadot’s Kusama Network, which is a programmable cross-chain platform for Dapps. It is substrate-based, EVM-compatible, and connected to Kusama.
