 <p class="paragraph">Snowbridge serves as a common good bridge directly linking Kusama to Ethereum, amplifying the exchange of information and transactions.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">On the other hand, Hyperbridge facilitates secure interoperability with Ethereum’s Layer-2 networks and emerging chains, upping the overall efficiency and interconnectedness of the blockchain environment.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Acting as a test bed for more experimental blockchain protocols, Kusama is the perfect platform for such releases.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Seun Lanlege, Founder of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="blockchain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/blockchain.html">blockchain</a> research and development lab Polytope Labs, commented on BEEFY’s potential to meet the escalating demand for interoperable solutions within the Web3 space, stating:</p>
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
  <p class="paragraph">“The BEEFY upgrade massively bolsters the value of interacting with Kusama and the Polkadot ecosystem. More than ever, web3 users covet interoperable solutions and the ability to move from one ecosystem to another without encountering friction. I expect this upgrade to meet their expectations.”</p> <cite>– Seun Lanlege, Founder of blockchain research and development lab Polytope Labs</cite>
 </blockquote>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-it-means-for-polkadot">What it means for Polkadot</h2>
 <p class="paragraph">Kusama’s embrace of the BEEFY protocol represents just one aspect of the growing relationship between the Polkadot ecosystem and other blockchain networks.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Its integration into Kusama thus not only opens up new avenues for crypto users but also serves as a testament to Polkadot’s commitment to an interconnected <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="blockchain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/blockchain.html">blockchain</a> ecosystem.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Trustless bridges, such as Interlay, have already been established, linking Polkadot with prominent networks like Ethereum, Avalanche (AVN), Cardano (ADA), and Binance Smart Chain, facilitating the transfer of digital assets and smart contract instructions.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In such an environment, the BEEFY protocol underscores a broader movement towards greater interoperability and collaboration within the crypto space.</p>
