Dev Update
Community Update
LI.FI supports the 'Unified Call for Open Bridge Standards' 🗳️

We fully support the 'Unified Call for Open Bridge Standards'.
As a bridge-agnostic solution, we're firmly opposed to vendor lock-in and reliance on specific bridge security models.
We advocate for the development of open, public standards such as EIP-7281 (xERC20) and commit to working to build and improve on them.
We're convinced that promoting healthy competition in this way will significantly benefit the ecosystem's security and long-term viability.
