Router Nitro Integrates MatchID for Simplified Cross-Chain Transfers

Router Protocol completed a major milestone in September by **burning 54.8M unmigrated $ROUTE tokens** as part of their chain sunset process, allowing full focus on their Open Graph Architecture (OGA). **Key September Highlights:** - Large ETH trade: 3,150 ETH moved via Router App across multiple bridges - Chain integrations expanded to include HyperEVM, BNB Chain, and Plasma - New bridge partnerships with Gas.zip, Mayan Finance, and Symbiosis - Router App now available on Veera Dapp Store **October Roadmap:** - Complete Router Chain sunset - Integration of Near Intents and Meson bridges - Router App UX improvements - B2B API development for partner integration **Action Required:** Users with tokens still on Router Chain must bridge them to Ethereum before the final shutdown. The transition marks Router's evolution from L1 operator to cross-chain liquidity infrastructure provider.

**Plasma chain is now integrated with Router App**, marking a significant milestone for stablecoin infrastructure. **Key highlights:** - Plasma launched as a **high-performance layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for stablecoins** - Built with **Tether's direct input**, making it one of the first stablecoin-native chains - Users can now **swap USDT and XPL tokens** across Router's connected ecosystem **What this means:** The integration brings **ultra-efficient trading flows** and connects Plasma to Router's Open Graph Architecture (OGA) liquidity network. This allows builders and users to immediately access and utilize the evolving stablecoin infrastructure. **Try it now:** [Router App](http://app.routerprotocol.com) This integration continues Router's expansion strategy, following recent additions of Symbiosis, BNB Chain, and other major protocols to create seamless cross-chain connectivity.
