In today’s episode, we discuss Squid, a project enhancing blockchain interoperability, with its co-founder, Fig. Squid allows seamless token swaps and application access across multiple chains, facilitated by its integration with the Axelar Network. We delve into how Squid supports complex transactions across 63 chains, leveraging existing DEX liquidity for efficient operations, and its role in addressing the challenges of blockchain interoperability.
Fig also gives us a showcase of Squid and how easy it is to swap tokens from one blockchain to another.
Fig provides insights on Squid’s technical infrastructure, how safe it is compared to other forms of bridging and reveals future growth plans such as expanding to Polkadot!
