Router Protocol Expands USDC Bridge Support to Polygon and Unichain

**Router App launches in two days**, introducing Router Protocol's Open Graph Architecture (OGA) - a new approach to cross-chain infrastructure. **The Problem** Current cross-chain systems are fragmented, with billions lost to hacks and failed transactions due to rigid workflows and compromised trustlessness. **OGA's Solution** - **Programmable execution graph** treating bridges, DEXs, and solvers as unified network nodes - **Permissionless node registry** - any bridge or liquidity venue can join instantly - **Real-time reputation layer** measuring and rewarding performance - **Isolated revert logic** preventing cascade failures - **Unified messaging hub** reducing failure rates below 0.5% **Router App Features** - Sub-10 basis point execution costs on large trades - Near-perfect settlement reliability across chains - Programmable hooks for developers to build custom workflows **Why It Matters** This represents DeFi's graduation from experimental solutions to institutional-grade infrastructure, offering professional execution quality while democratizing access for smaller traders. Router App transforms cross-chain finance from fragmented bridges into a unified operating system. [Try Router App](https://app.routerprotocol.com/)

Router Protocol is launching its new cross-chain swap application in 3 days, promising significant improvements over existing aggregators. **Key Features:** - Better pricing: Router quoted 999.83 ETH vs competitor's 999.73 ETH on a 1,000 ETH swap - Enhanced infrastructure capable of handling large trades without throttling - Programmable execution paths for custom liquidity control - Open architecture allowing protocols to integrate without permissions The platform demonstrated a **$346 savings advantage** on a single large trade compared to established aggregators. Router emphasizes this represents potential massive savings when scaled across institutional trading volumes. **Technical Advantages:** - No system breaks or throttling on large orders - Full control over bridging logic - Permissionless protocol integration The launch represents Router's bid to establish a new standard for cross-chain capital movement, targeting both retail and institutional users seeking better execution and infrastructure reliability.

**Less than 24 hours remain** to migrate old $ROUTE v1 tokens before the final deadline. **Key Details:** - Migration ends: August 25, 2025 at 5:00 PM UTC - Conversion rate: 1 ROUTE v1 = 33.33x new $ROUTE tokens - **All unmigrated v1 tokens will be permanently burned** after deadline Router Protocol has been issuing multiple reminders, including requests to exchanges like Bybit to migrate community-held tokens in their custody. **Action Required:** Token holders must migrate immediately to avoid permanent loss of their assets.

Router Protocol has **permanently burned 10,221,100 $ROUTE tokens** from their staking rewards program. The burned tokens are now completely out of circulation, reducing the total supply. This follows their regular monthly burn schedule - they previously burned 1.7M tokens in May. Users can track the burn transaction on [RouterScan](https://routerscan.io/tx/A7E2426186140BF6F555BBCE6B88DB6600105C704806B8CB7290914938B75F2D). $ROUTE is available for purchase on Ethereum and Polygon through [Nitro Trade](https://routernitro.com/trade/router-protocol-2).
