At Router Protocol, we make bold promises, but our execution always takes it a step further. We always stay true to our publicly accessible roadmap, and we are back with another exciting announcement.

Earlier in the year, we launched our mainnet, which was received with copious enthusiasm and support by everybody. This substantial support we gained became our driving force to constantly enhance our product and add new chains as early as possible.

Staying true to our word, we are incredibly excited to share that Router Protocol has now integrated Fantom and Ethereum in its cross-chain super mesh. This post will discuss everything that makes this integration special and discover what this means for the future of Router Protocol and the entire ecosystem of interoperable blockchain networks.

Let us start by learning a bit about Ethereum & Fantom, and what makes these chains prominent entries in our list of milestones.

About Ethereum

Ethereum is the world’s first Turing-complete trustless blockchain of its kind. It has changed the way people think about digital money, global payments, and applications. Ethereum is the pioneer of decentralized finance (DeFi), and today, an amazing multi-billion dollar ecosystem has evolved around it:

1. Ethereum offers an extremely flexible platform to build decentralized applications using the Solidity scripting language and the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).

2. Decentralized application developers who deploy smart contracts on Ethereum benefit from the rich ecosystem of developer tooling and established practices that have come with the maturity of the protocol.

3. Ethereum’s large user base encourages developers to deploy their applications on the network, reinforcing Ethereum as the primary home for decentralized applications, especially in the domain of DeFi and NFTs.

About Fantom

Fantom is a network of blockchains where transactions are finalized in a matter of seconds and cost a fraction of a cent. It stands out in its functionalities because of the following differentiators.:

1. Fantom is highly customizable thanks to its modular architecture. Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps) can easily be migrated to the Fantom Opera mainnet.

2. In Fantom, each application has its own blockchain, which means that traffic and congestion have no effect on its performance or stability.

3. Custom tokens, tokenomics, and governance rules can be created for each separate chain on Fantom. Each of these blockchains uses Lachesis (​​Fantom’s aBFT consensus algorithm) and can therefore communicate with one another.

With the integration of Fantom and Ethereum, Router Protocol is moving a step closer to building a truly interoperable cross-chain ecosystem. While the integration of Fantom and Ethereum is certainly a valuable milestone, our mission of providing a turnkey solution for true interoperability between every blockchain network is far from realized. Needless to say, our team is hard at work on multiple fronts. Apart from ironing out the existing kinks in our product offering, we have recently launched our cross-chain explorer as well as a customizable widget (check out the announcement here).

Furthermore, we are working tirelessly to integrate more L2 and L1 Chains, as well to launch our cross-chain SDK, which is already going through an internal audit. We did say that we’re striving to make Router Protocol a one-stop destination for all things cross-chain.

Router Protocol is building a suite of cross-chain infra primitives that aims to enable blockchain interoperability between current and emerging Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains.
