Squid Protocol Expanding to 100 Chains
Squid Protocol has announced plans to expand its cross-chain infrastructure to support 100 blockchain networks by July 2025. This significant scaling follows their successful Stage 1 deployment across OP Stack Chains on the Superchain in August 2024. The protocol enables seamless token swaps and transfers between different blockchains using existing DEXs. Integration with Axelar's messaging system allows for single-transaction cross-chain operations. - Current: Operating on OP Stack Chains - Target: 100 chains by mid-2025 - Features: Native token swaps, cross-chain messaging - Integration: Works with existing DEX infrastructure
CORAL Integration Expands with MetaMask Partnership

Squid V1 Sunset Announcement: Migration to V2 Required by March 12
Squid Router has announced the retirement of Squid V1, scheduled for March 12th. The cross-chain routing protocol is completing its transition to Squid 2.0, which launched in September 2024 with improved architecture for multi-hop transactions. Key points: - Most integrators have already migrated to V2 - Migration documentation available at [Squid docs](https://docs.squidrouter.com/migration/v1-greater-than-v2-migration) - New platform accessible at [app.squidrouter.com](http://app.squidrouter.com) Integrators still using V1 should initiate migration before the shutdown date to ensure uninterrupted service.
Squid Protocol Launches on Gnosis Chain
Squid Protocol expands its cross-chain capabilities by integrating with Gnosis Chain. The protocol now enables seamless token swaps and transfers between Gnosis and other supported networks through existing DEXs. Key features: - One-click cross-chain transactions - Integration with Axelar's message passing - Support for native token swaps - Composable with existing DeFi protocols Users can access these features via SDK, frontend interface, or direct contract interaction.
