On Thursday, the Zilliqa team announced via a blog post that ZilBridge will be officially migrated to X-Bridge on December 23rd following the closure of Poly Network. ZilBridge is the ecosystem bridge that enabled seamless token transfers between Zilliqa and supported EVM networks.
The migration will take some time, and X-Bridge functionality may be unavailable for an extended period while this migration is completed. ZilBridge was powered by Carbon and Poly Network, providing a straightforward way to bridge tokens between Zilliqa and other networks. However, with Poly Network ceasing operations, transitioning to a new solution is essential to ensure continued bridging functionality.
X-Bridge is a bidirectional Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) bridge that enables the transfer of tokens between Zilliqa and other EVM-compatible networks. The user must use an EVM wallet, such as MetaMask, for bridging operations.
Zilliqa (ZIL) is one of the world’s first blockchains being built on a sharded architecture and features smart contracts written in the platform’s proprietary programming language: Scilla. ZIL is trading at $0.02071, down 7.7% in the last 24 hours.
