Squid Protocol Launches on Gnosis Chain

Squid has been added as an official validator on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), marking a significant step in their involvement with the ecosystem. **Key Points:** - Squid brings cross-chain building experience to their new validator role - The team is already building on XRPL, which will inform their validation decisions - This follows the launch of the XRPL EVM Sidechain in July 2025 Squid's validator status strengthens their position in the XRPL ecosystem, where they already facilitate cross-chain swaps between XRPL, XRPL EVM, and 80+ other chains.

Squid's cross-chain swap functionality is now available directly within the Keplr wallet interface. **Key Features:** - Enables token swaps between Cosmos and other blockchain networks - Users can access cross-chain functionality without leaving their Keplr wallet - Leverages existing DEXs for native token transfers across chains **What This Means:** The integration simplifies multi-chain transactions by embedding Squid's infrastructure into Keplr's interface. Users can now perform cross-chain swaps as part of their regular wallet operations rather than navigating to separate platforms. This follows Squid's previous integration enabling native BTC support in Keplr.

**Squid Router has integrated Citrea Mainnet**, bringing Bitcoin-focused liquidity to users across multiple blockchains. **Key integrations:** - SatsumaDEX and JuiceSwap now accessible through Squid - Users can access Citrea's liquidity from any supported chain - Available at [app.squidrouter.com/citrea](http://app.squidrouter.com/citrea) **What this means:** Squid's cross-chain routing infrastructure now connects to Citrea, a Bitcoin-focused layer. This allows users to swap and bridge tokens to access Citrea's decentralized exchanges without being limited to a single blockchain. The integration expands Squid's existing network of 75+ EVM and Cosmos chains, adding Bitcoin-centric liquidity options to its routing capabilities.
