xChain Monthly — June

Welcome to xChain Monthly, Wormhole’s monthly update about everything that’s moving in the xChain world.

“Will you be part of the xChain future?”

It’s been a big month. Wormhole added several new chains, announced some killer partnerships, established new liquid markets, and kept it 100 on Twitter Spaces. On top of that, we started a Twitter account and Discord channel for our Mandarin-speaking community members. Here’s the rundown:

🤝 Killer Partnerships

• Magpie Protocol: a user-friendly cross-chain swap that leverages Wormhole’s message passing to facilitate swaps into native assets on each connected chain.
• Unlockd Finance: making NFTs more productive on every Wormhole connected chain (for more Unlockd content, check out this Twitter Space on xChain NFT utility)
• 01.xyz: allowing direct xChain deposits
• Friktion: allowing direct xChain deposits from Ethereum and Avalanche
• Atlas DEX: offers their take on Wormhole and the role of bridges in crypto
• Oh — and some big Biconomy news coming soon!
