For the first time in history, two blockchains have been connected. Earlier this month, Bancor officially pushed BancorX live — creating a cross-chain bridge that enables automated conversions between 125+ EOS and Ethereum-based tokens.

BancorX marks the network’s first expansion onto a new blockchain and lays the groundwork for future blockchain integrations. Following the launch, Bancor’s EOS Liquidity Network saw a surge of activity as users experienced the benefits of cross-chain liquidity and Bancor’s EOS features — including zero transaction fees and one-second execution.

Check out the Bancor EOS Liquidity Network.

All this occurred while the Bancor team and community members continued spreading the word about the Bancor Protocol, including a refresh of the Bancor site, participation in the United Nations first-ever session on blockchain in Switzerland and coverage of Bancor’s community currency initiative in Bloomberg BusinessWeek.

More than a dozen EOS tokens are now live on Bancor’s liquidity network, creating continuous on-chain liquidity between 125+ ERC20 and EOS tokens. Live EOS tokens now include: Everipedia, eosBLACK, BetDice, MEET.ONE, KARMA, Prochain, Chaince & more!

It’s worth noting that the current version of BancorX is just an initial beta. A unified cross-chain experience and other developments are already in the works. Learn more about the roadmap in the BancorX explainer site and in our “How It Works” post.
