SimpleChain Integrates with ZNS Connect After $15M Seed Round
SimpleChain, a Layer 1 blockchain focused on real-world assets (RWAs), has completed integration with ZNS Connect following a $15M seed funding round.
Key Features Now Available:
The integration positions SimpleChain as an identity layer for tokenized real-world assets. Users can now mint .srw domain names and begin building on the network.
Access Points:
This follows similar RWA-focused integrations, including Plume Network's earlier adoption of ZNS for institutional-grade asset tokenization.
š USDC Expands to Injective
Circle's USDC stablecoin and Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) are now operational on Injective, a blockchain optimized for trading and DeFi applications.
Key Features:
Network Growth: With this integration, USDC now operates on 34 blockchains and transfers across 23 chains via CCTP, creating over 500 transaction routes.
This follows a similar expansion to Pharos Network in late April, which added support for real-world asset (RWA) applications and included a $10 million incubation program.
