Bridging across chains is a long, complex, and sometimes intimidating process for cryptocurrency users. To try toย lower the dependence on bridges, cross-chain DEXes are starting to become trending. The idea here isย theย factย that you can swap any 2 assets regardlessย of the chain. 1 of the cross-chain DEX leaders is Symbiosis Finance. Symbiosis already works with greaterย than 12 chains and most of the EVM chains you already use. And today, they are adding Arbitrum Nova to the list.
Symbiosis now connects with Arbitrumโs ArbSwap DEX. Thisย implies that any cryptoย tokens on chains Symbiosis already supports can now swap easily onto Arbitrum Nova. ArbSwap is likewise airdropping cryptoย tokens to users in case you use the DEX already. So like the other 12 chains Symbiosis supports, one click and you can move coins to and from Arbitrum Nova too.
What is Arbitrum Nova?
The main Arbitrum chain is Arbitrum One. Inย contrastย toย Arbitrum One, Arbitrum Nova uses Arbitrumโs AnyTrust technology. AnyTrust is a rollup asย well (like Arb One) with even quicker and cheaper transactions than Arbitrum One. Since the nodes hold the data instead of broadcasting it to Ethereumย (ETH), thereย is no Ethereumย (ETH) gas to pay making Arbitrum Nova even cheaper than Arbitrum One.
In return for that speed and lower cost, thereย is some trust involved that the nodes will operate honestly. Click the AnyTrust link over to read more about how the technology works.
Arbitrum Nova is especially attractive for games and Non-Fungibleย Tokenย (NFTs) where people must make fast transactions as part of playing the game. You can use the main Arbitrum Bridge or Celer to bridge your cryptoย tokens to this network.
