SKALE TECH
Metaport has landed!
SKALE Metaport is a super fast, simple way for users to use the chain-to-chain bridging capabilities of the SKALE Network. SKALE has long understood that mass adoption requires the ability to marry the friendly UX of Web2 with the power of blockchain and decentralization. Dapp users now have a fast and simple way to move tokens of all sorts (ERC20, 721, and 1155) between SKALE Chains and between the Ethereum mainnet. This is all done in a simple interface that allows users to move their tokens and NFTs between chains in a few easy steps.
