The Nervos Network Bulletin: January 2022

A monthly round-up of all things Nervos

Welcome to the Nervos Network Bulletin, a monthly recap of what happened at Nervos, a brief update on our ecosystem partners as well as a resource for educational content about Nervos. We will also have some thoughts from leaders within the company and some facts and figures on our growth.

What Happened this Month?

Nervos Expands to BSC With Force Bridge, Further Growing Its DeFi Ecosystem:
As part of our continued expansion we announce a bridge to Binance Smart Chain (BSC) with the use of the Force Bridge. This linking of the Nervos Network to BSC opened up a new realm of possibilities, especially in the DeFi space.

Ardana to Utilize Nervos Network’s Cross-Chain Bridge

This partnership will make it possible for Ardana to utilize the Force Bridge to port over liquidity and for CKB to be used as collateral for Ardana’s stablecoins. Linking the two ecosystems will allow for asset transfers between Cardano and Nervos, and assist project integration on both blockchains.

CKB now Available on Transak

Users can purchase Nervos CKB via credit card using Transak, a developer integration for a fiat-to-crypto payment gateway.

Announcing the Winners of the Hashnode x Nervos Writing Contest:
The Developer Relations team received a number of impressive submissions for a technical writing contest in association with Hashnode that included articles on Nervos-based topics, tutorials and general web 3.0 writing.

Nervos <>BSC Bridge Update – Promising Growth:

Soon after launching the BSC bridge we noted impressive numbers as users looked to take advantage of the growing Nervos ecosystem. Trade volume and traffic to our DEX Yokai, as well as additional TVL on Yokai showed a desire to take DeFi to the next level on Nervos.
