FILLiquid Integrates a Cross-Chain Exchange via Axelar, Expanding Its Reach to Over 70 Cryptocurrency Ecosystems

In an exciting leap forward, FILLiquid, one of the fastest-growing leasing and borrowing platforms based on Filecoin (FIL), proudly announces the integration of a cross-chain exchange via the innovative Axelar platform.

London, November 22, 2024 — FILLiquid, a rapidly growing leasing and borrowing platform on Filecoin (FIL), has announced its integration with a cross-chain exchange through the Axelar platform.

This integration will allow users to directly swap any of Axelar’s supported assets into Filecoin tokens on the FIL liquidity platform through its Squid integration, powered by Axelar.

With the cross-chain exchange now live, users from any cryptocurrency network can easily swap into Filecoin and start leasing tokens to Storage Providers to earn interest.

Moreover, users can participate in FILLiquid’s DeFi ecosystem to farm FIG, the native token, and stake it to generate rewards through revenue sharing.

The latest feature from FILLiquid introduces a powerful cross-chain protocol, expanding its reach to over 70 cryptocurrency ecosystems. Through the integration with Squid, users can effortlessly swap any of Axelar's supported assets into Filecoin tokens, enabling new paths for leasing and earning within the FIL liquidity platform.

Squid is a powerful cross-chain exchange platform that allows users to swap between its supported ecosystems in seconds. The swapping solution is powered by Axelar, a cross-chain messaging platform that brings interoperability to the Web3 world.

Integrating a cross-chain exchange is an essential milestone for FILLiquid as it can attract new users from a wide range of ecosystems to the platform. With the swapping function now live, users can easily head to FILLiquid’s bridge product and swap any of Squid’s supported assets directly into FIL, ready to be leased on the FIL-based liquidity pool to generate interest.

The cross-chain exchange will allow users to easily swap into FIL tokens, which can then be lent on the FILLiquid leasing platform to generate interest.

It is a FIL-based liquidity pool that connects FIL holders to Storage Providers (SPs). It allows FIL holders to deposit tokens into a secure, audited, and open-sourced liquidity pool, which is then made available to SPs for lending. As a result, FIL holders generate interest on their assets, while SPs can access FIL liquidity without increasing financial burdens.

About FILLiquid

FILLiquid is a leasing platform that bridges $FIL token holders with Storage Providers that won the Ethereum and Filecoin DeFi hackathon in 2023. The platform allows $FIL holders to earn a passive income through leasing, while Storage Providers can access $FIL liquidity at market-based rates to expand their storage provisions.

The protocol intends to help the continued expansion of storage power on Filecoin without increasing financial burdens for Storage Providers, as they don't have to deposit crypto or fiat as collateral. Instead, FILLiquid allows them to secure $FIL loans using their Beneficiary Address as collateral, setting itself apart from other industry-centralized and decentralized leasing platforms.
