The Partnership Is Making Waves

Basically, Apex’s role will be to facilitate the transfer of XRP from Ripple’s XRPL to Avalanche as well as various other networks running on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). The bridge will be subject to audits and penetration tests to ensure it runs smoothly before deployment. It will also support other DEXs via API access kits to allow integration with DeFi protocols. ApexBridge is expected to go live by the end of August 2022.

For the first time in Avalanche ecosystem, a Wrapped XRP (wXRP) on ApexSwap will be launched Once the bridge is deployed.

The CEO of Catoshi had a few facts to share about the partnership between the various companies:

“The tripartite partnership of Catoshi, Apex, and UNO is starting to make real waves in the space. It’s incredible to see all our hard work and graft coming to fruition, culminating in XRP’s integration. It really legitimizes our efforts to have such an established project connecting with us. As one of the big 5 projects in the space we believe this partnership will help drive us to the higher echelons of success in this space.”
