Introduction

Bifrost has released v0.8.4, which will support bi-directional asset cross-chaining between Kusama and Bifrost, with KSM being interchangeable between the Bifrost and Kusama networks. The Flexible Fee logic will also allow KSM to be used as an on-chain fee when no BNC is present in the address. This release will also support cross-chaining of assets between the Karura (Acala Advance Network) and Bifrost networks. Two-way interchange of KSM is supported in this release and will be supported for BNC/kUSD/KAR in subsequent releases.

Ecosystem

• On September 2nd, Bifrost co-founder Lurpis was invited to participate in the AMA hosted by Subquery, stating that as parachain bidding becomes normalized, the interoperability between chains will gradually manifest itself, the upgrade of Polkadot’s cross-chain messaging protocol XCM will open up more functions, and more business combinations will drive more projects to bid on parachains, creating a positive snowball effect.

• On 2 September, Bifrost Product Manager was invited to participate in the Kusama Demo Day, hosted by Equilibrium and Genshiro, to learn how Bifrost is advancing liquidity in Parachain auctions through Slides?

• On 2 September, Mathwallet has supported Bifrost Nework and BNC holders can add their personal address on the MathWallet app to check their BNC balance: https://mathwallet.org/zh-cn/

• On 3 September, Bifrost was a guest on Acala Live Community Live to explain the latest news about the future of Bifrost’s native assets going live on Karura SWAP and how the Bifrost SALP protocol will help partners during the second round of parachain slot bidding
