Umbria Network is increasing access to projects built on the Avalanche (AVAX) and Polygon networks with its Narni bridging solution and partner programme. 

The protocol is collaborating with a range of platforms to facilitate the fastest and cheapest migration of assets cross-chain for their users. Umbria has forged new partnerships with Polygon NFT and DeFi platforms and announces its first alliances with AVAX projects, which come swiftly after the official launch of its Avalanche bridge. The Narni Polygon and Avalanche bridges offer substantially faster and cheaper transactions than the official bridges for both networks with transfers typically taking less than four minutes and often costing just $4-$9.  

Its latest partners (detailed below) endorse the Narni Bridge, recommending it to their communities for bridging crypto; many projects have also integrated the bridge widget into their platforms.  

Avalanche projects

“By vastly improving the UX with the fastest and cheapest bridging solution available and providing greater technical support, we're helping to onboard more users to partner ventures that are built on alternative networks to Ethereum,” said Oscar Chambers, Co-founder of Umbria Network. “Additionally, we strive to support the growth of our partners and their projects by offering a host of other marketing and networking benefits.”

About Umbria Network 

Cheapest, fastest cross-chain bridge 

https://umbria.network/

https://bridge.umbria.network/

https://bridge.umbria.network/staking-pool/

Operating within the DeFi and NFT space, Umbria Network enables anyone to migrate cryptocurrency assets across chain cheaply and quickly. 

Umbria's Narni cross-chain liquidity bridge solves blockchain interoperability issues by removing the difficulty and expense of moving assets between blockchains and is the fastest and cheapest cross-chain bridge between Ethereum mainnet and Polygon, Binance Smart Chan, Avalanche and Fantom. Narni eliminates the barriers to entry for engaging with DeFi applications and NFTs making them much more accessible to a wider audience.  

Additionally, bridge liquidity providers earn high APYs on their crypto assets with no impermanent loss. 

The Umbria ecosystem, built on Polygon, has three major protocols:

1. A Cross-chain Asset Bridge: enables the fast and cheap transfer of assets between otherwise incompatible blockchains and cryptocurrency networks.
2. A Staking Pool: users can earn interest on their crypto assets by providing liquidity to the Narni bridge 
3. A Decentralised Exchange (DEX): an automated liquidity protocol powered by a constant product formula, deployed using smart contracts and governed entirely on-chain. Provides fast and cheap token swapping

UK-publicly listed Online Blockchain plc (LSE: OBC) acts as Umbria's coordinator, administrator and advisor. This provides a level of transparency rare in the DeFi space.

The backbone of our nation, farmers stand to benefit the most from sovereign money that cannot be diluted or degraded.

OpenSea's critics said the policy change stifled NFT creators by trashing the ability to create unlimited collections and NFTs on the platform.

The leading Ethereum NFT marketplace has clamped down on its own minting contract, frustrating and angering creators in the space.
