Zcash Now Accessible Across DeFi Through Rango Integration

**Commodities Meet Blockchain** Gold, silver, copper, and oil are now accessible as tradable on-chain assets. Rango Exchange simplifies access to these real-world assets (RWAs) through: - Smart routing across DeFi protocols - Competitive swap rates - Streamlined user experience The platform enables direct swaps into tokenized commodities, including oil tokens (USOon) created by Ondo Finance, without manual route configuration. **Market Context** RWA tokenization on Ethereum recently surpassed $15 billion, with tokenized gold accounting for over $4 billion of that total.

**Bridged tokens carry significant hidden risks in DeFi.** ERC-7281 (xERC20) introduces a new approach to managing these risks: - Token issuers maintain control and sovereignty - Approved bridges receive specific mint/burn limits - Risk exposure is capped on a per-bridge basis - Existing ERC-20 tokens can adopt the standard via Lockbox - Users interact with a single, unified token version across chains **The core principle:** xERC20 doesn't eliminate bridge risk—it contains the damage when failures occur. This standard also shifts how routing works. Instead of viewing bridges purely as liquidity channels, routers can now factor in issuer-defined bridge limits as security indicators. The goal: optimize for both transaction output *and* safety. Full technical breakdown available at [Rango Learn](https://rango.exchange/learn/market-trends/erc7281-sovereign-bridged-tokens)

Rango Exchange has integrated Chainflip to enable direct swaps of native assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, and stablecoins without wrapping or manual bridge selection. **How it works:** - Rango's routing engine simulates paths across liquidity sources in real-time - Automatically selects Chainflip when it offers the optimal route - Optimizes for output amount, speed, gas costs, and reliability **Key benefits:** - No wrapped tokens required - Automated route selection - Competition between protocols ensures best execution The integration allows users to swap native assets across chains while Rango handles the complexity behind the scenes.

**Tron emerges as leading destination chain** The ETH.USDT to TRON.USDT route topped Rango's volume charts in March with $28 million in transactions. This marks a continuation of Tron's growing popularity as a destination for stablecoin transfers. **Key trends:** - Tron USDT remains the preferred destination across multiple months - Bitcoin destinations continue to show strong demand - Notable migration pattern from BNB Chain to Solana observed in January data The data suggests users are increasingly choosing Tron for USDT transfers, likely due to lower transaction fees compared to Ethereum mainnet.
