Earlier this year we announced that we are working closely with @nomadxyz_ and @ConnextNetwork to bridge Ethereum assets to Evmos. We have been in talks with other bridges for the past couple months and wanted to share more about how we are working closely with Nomad 🧵

First, our goal like many other chains is to reduce fragmentation of assets to avoid scenarios like @sunnya97 pointed out:

We are excited about the value that Nomad and Connext bring because they are focused on security before revenue and their solution offers a seamless user experience to go along with it. We hope to abstract the bridge away from users so they can just focus on their dApp of choice.

Nomad is a strong supporter of the Evmos community by bringing projects and market makers to Evmos to kickstart the ecosystem as well as joining every community call we’ve had since our public announcement last month answering the community’s questions: evmos.blog/bridging-asset…

In order to support Nomad and Connext, we have helped facilitate introductions to projects deploying on Evmos. After all, in order to reduce fragmentation for users, users need to rely on being able to use their version of a bridged asset such as $USDC on any app of their choice.

As such, we wanted to be transparent with the community and share the following message that the team has sent to other projects as our goal is to create the best UX possible for our users:

“We would like to introduce you to Nomad who we believe will be the dominant EVM bridge on Evmos. While there will be other bridges in the future, Nomad and Connext offer an optimal balance between security and UX as well as bring value in other ways to the network.

Of course, Evmos is a permissionless network allowing users and devs to choose their bridge provider on Evmos based on their differentiators: security, speed, fragmentation, etc.

With that said, the team is focussed on simplifying bridging UX by closely collaborating with Nomad and Connext at launch to reduce fragmentation”.

As the entire @cosmos ecosystem works through different solutions to reduce fragmentation, we hope our proposal resonates with the need to balance fragmentation reduction during the early days of Evmos while still promoting an open and transparent ecosystem.

Please let us know your thoughts and feedback. We are excited for the upcoming launch of Evmos and this is part of our goal of bringing the best user experience possible to Evmos.
