Laika’s ETH⬌FTM bridge is now LIVE!

With the launch of Laika Protocol’s ninth official bridge between the Ethereum and Fantom networks, phase one of our roadmap is now complete!

4 min readJul 8, 2021

Laika Protocol is now one of the very first tokens to allow bridging of its assets between the Ethereum and Fantom network, in addition to a BSC to Fantom bridge which will also be available later this month.

With the addition of the Fantom network to our existing lineup of integrated chains, our team has now achieved every single target from Phase 1 of our roadmap, which focuses on initial cross-chain integration. With a bridge now available to nine different chains and more to come in the near future, our team has now began to move its primary focus towards the next phase of our roadmap which is growing our ecosystem across all chains in preparation for our eventual bridging and oracle solutions as well as the rest of our platforms and tools.

In combination with our integration with Fantom, we have also begun to further incorporate Chainlink into our multi-chain ecosystem, allowing us to establish the foundation for everything that is to come over the next year.

About Fantom and Chainlink

Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network providse our ecosystem with secure and reliable market prices, such as specific Price Reference Data Contracts, as well as real-time access to high-quality credentialed API data via Chainlink external adaptors. This enables our team to build scalable decentralized applications that are fully integrated with real-time data, sourced from only the most trusted sources.

The immediate focus of the integration will be on building scalable DeFi products to support a robust financial system on Fantom. Subsequently, the our team is aiming to extend the range of DeFi use-cases that can be accommodated on-chain for Laika as well as any other projects and platforms that are a part of our ecosystem, such as our upcoming yield farm, Astro.

Chainlink and Fantom are both market-leaders in speed and security of their respective products, reducing any bottlenecks in the performance of Dapps. Because of this, our team is confident that the synergy of Chainlink and Fantom technologies will provide us with the tools to push the boundaries of DeFi to a new level, which has been Laika’s goal from the very beginning.
