🗳️ Refendum 19 is up to vote! If passed, this batched proposal will accept/open an HRMP channel with Mangata Network and register MGX as an XC-20 asset via the Whitelist track. This will establish a bi-directional channel between Mangata and Moonriver and allow for cross-chain MOVR/MGX token transfers.

🗳️ Vote: https://moonriver.polkassembly.network/referenda/19

This is the first XCM integration to be voted on via OpenGov and, in true canary net fashion, provides a blueprint for once OpenGov is passed on Moonbeam. Referenda 16 and 4 passed but failed to enact. Thanks to the work of the PureStake team, a new tool has been developed on top of Chopsticks that enables the team to test OpenGov proposals in real network conditions to ensure successful enactments.

🚀 Open the floodgates! Moonbeam is bringing liquidity to the Polkadot ecosystem!

Known as Moonbeam Routed Liquidity (MRL), this new process enables the movement of assets from external ecosystems to Polkadot parachains through Moonbeam. 🤯

MRL is powered by a new feature: any ERC-20 created in the Moonbeam EVM (XC-20s) can be moved around to different parachains via XCM. That means, through a combination of bridging solutions and XCM, MRL can route liquidity from any connected chain in any ecosystem, to any parachain in Polkadot that has an XCM channel with Moonbeam.

MRL is an easy way for Substrate-based parachains to tap into outside liquidity, using Polkadot’s native interoperability, Moonbeam, and Wormhole, although this could include other bridges in the future.

Read the entire announcement and learn more about how Moonbeam Routed Liquidity works: https://moonbeam.network/education/moonbeam-routed-liquidity/

🚨 Starting in 30 minutes! Tune in and hear from Colton Conley (Prime Founder), Forrest Whaling (Chainlink Product Marketing Manager) & Nate Hamilton (Distractive Co-Founder) as they discuss how synergies between projects will power next-gen Web3 use cases and much much more!
