👉 Chainlink’s Verifiable Random Function (VRF) is connected to ICON via xCall as part of the ongoing incentivized testnet

👉 With immense pride, we officially announce that we are now interconnected with the Archway and Neutron testnets via IBC!

“We want xCall to be fully compatible with solutions like LayerZero, Wormhole and many others. Developers want connections to popular chains such as Arbitrum, Base, Sui and Avalanche. We will prioritize these connectivity requests and aim to make xCall available across all these connections”


Latest ICON Development Update - July 2023

In a significant development, we have transitioned BSC into a trustless state, similar to our connection with Ethereum. This transition was a crucial step in preparing everything for the ongoing incentivised testnet. In addition, we have released a new version of Goloop, and we continue to make headway on the IISS 4.0 changes.
