holoride launches Ethereum Bridge on MultiversX
The introduction of the bridge between MultiversX and Ethereum expands the reach of holoride’s RIDE token to new heights
Today, holoride announced a cross-chain bridge between the MultiversX and Ethereum blockchains. The bridge, set to launch on October 31, offers seamless digital asset transfers of RIDE, the utility token of the holoride platform, across both blockchain protocols. This announcement supports holoride's vision of developing a vibrant and sustainable platform ecosystem that is powered by the RIDE token.
RIDE is designed to supercharge the connection between holoride subscribers, creators, and business partners by providing additional benefits that enhance engagement and add value for all users. Bridging between MultiversX and Ethereum creates unique opportunities for RIDE holders to freely and efficiently trade and store their tokens on either blockchain platform. RIDE holders on MultiversX can continue to stake on Ethereum, which will help foster a thriving ecosystem and strengthen the community’s position in the ever-evolving Web 3.0 landscape.
said Nils Wollny, CEO and co-founder of holoride “As a device and car manufacturer-agnostic company, creating the Ethereum bridge and supporting a new blockchain is in line with our technology-agnostic approach. We are thrilled to unlock more freedom for RIDE holders no matter how they choose to engage with the holoride ecosystem. For holoride, MultiversX is and will always be our home base from which we were able to launch our adventure and continue to offer new and exciting opportunities to our ever growing community.”
The creation of the Ethereum bridge continues holoride’s commitment to expanding its Web3 footprint in a way that supports a transparent, secure, and personalized in-car entertainment experience. With numerous recent endeavors in the blockchain space, including a partnership alongside Laura-Marie Geissler for the release of her second series of NFTs on both Ethereum and MultiversX, as well as a collaboration with XOXNO, the prominent NFT marketplace on MultiversX, holoride remains committed to ongoing innovation within its value-centric ecosystem.
RIDE is currently available on xExchange, Gate.io, MEXC and BitMart. After the bridge goes live, RIDE will also be available on Uniswap on Ethereum.
