ICON

<p>The<a href="https://www.icon.foundation/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> ICON</a> cross-chain framework has expanded its support to more chains with the deployment of Blockchain Transmission Protocol (BTP) smart contracts on mainnet.</p><p>With this deployment, ICON&#39;s general message passing (xCall) is now integrated to two primary interoperability protocols: the Cosmos Inter-Blockchain Communication (<a href="https://cosmos.network/ibc/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">IBC</a>) protocol and BTP. This improved connectivity allows ICON&#39;s general message passing layer to support a wider range of cross-chain interactions across multiple blockchains, solidifying its position as a leading solution for cross-chain interoperability.</p><p>In particular, the BTP integration has expanded the reach of ICON&#39;s general message passing to two major EVM blockchains: <a href="https://ethereum.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> and <a href="https://www.bnbchain.org/en" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BNB Chain</a>. This enables applications using ICON’s general message passing to seamlessly connect to EVM blockchains, opening up opportunities to expand their user base and gain access to a larger market.</p><h2 id="header-0">ICON’s General Message Passing Contracts for Ethereum and BNB Chain</h2><p>Developers who want to utilize this connection for communication with Ethereum or BNB Chain can find relevant documentation to connect their application here. An <a href="https://github.com/icon-project/xcall-multi/blob/main/contracts/evm/contracts/mocks/dapp/DAppProxySample.sol" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">EVM sample application</a> is also available to explore to help you get started.

The team has developed Solidity contracts for BNB Chain and Ethereum and is currently preparing for deployment. These integrations are expected to provide improved access to cross-chain liquidity and expand the platform&#39;s user base.</p><p>New features and functionalities through these integrations will be available to Balanced users in the near future. Stay tuned for updates regarding exciting opportunities for both users and developers made possible by the ICON cross-chain framework.</p>
