<h2 id="polkadot-and-kusama-connected-via-seamless-bridge">Polkadot and Kusama connected via seamless bridge</h2>
<p>The DotSama ecosystem&#8217;s two largest networks, Polkadot (DOT) and Kusama (KSM), are now <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/unleash-the-bulls-polkadots-latest-updates-signal-a-potential-rise-in-dot-price/">connected</a> via a seamless bridge using the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) standard of the Cosmos (ATOM) ecosystem. Developed by Composable Finance, the decentralized cross-network bridge, Centauri, enables seamless and trustless movement of funds between the two blockchains, unlocking new opportunities for non-custodial <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/powered-by-polkadot-the-wolf-of-wall-street-goes-blockchain-limited-edition-nft-series-now-available/">exchange</a> of crypto and &#8220;yield farming.&#8221; Currently in open beta, KSM/DOT, PICA/DOT, and DOT/USDT liquidity pools are live on Pablo DeFi by Composable Finance.</p>

<h2 id="first-implementation-of-ibc-standard-outside-of-cosmos">First implementation of IBC standard outside of Cosmos</h2>
<p>Composable Finance&#8217;s Centauri is the first implementation of the IBC standard <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/polkadots-impressive-milestones-boost-dot-price-but-referendum-faces-resistance/">to go</a> live outside of the Cosmos scene. The team of Cosmos is excited by this accomplishment and the possible effects it can have on the cross-chain sphere of Web3 development as a whole. Centauri developers <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/ethereum-community-still-apprehensive-toward-polkadot/">have invited</a> crypto enthusiasts to stress-test the new bridge and share feedback about various strategies of its usage. More implementations of IBC instruments are already being explored by researchers, and the protocol might evolve into the go-to solution for omni-chain compatibility.</p>
