CubDeFi needs a bridge. And @khaleelkazi is building it. It's a bridge to end all bridges. The only bridge anyone and everyone will ever need to get anywhere. Alright, maybe not everywhere. But in the crypto world, it will bridge everything in the end.
If you didn't know about the Leo Bridge, it's going to link the new kid on the block, the Binance Side Chain (BSC) with the already popular and exploding Ethereum chain. Ethereum is exploding due to the DeFi craze of 2020. But with that explosion of financial possibilities comes exploding fees.
BSC is a fork of Ethereum with some changes that make it better. It's apparently DPOS (like Hive), but Binance runs all 19 witnesses nodes. So it's mega centralized. But hey, it's a lot cheaper! Gas fees for transaction payments are in the native Binance chain's BNB token.
Hive/Leo will be in the middle to bridge the two popular chains, allowing transfers from assets on one chain to the other, with minimal fees.
It's going to be great for Hive, Leo and CUB. But it needs to get built. Build it and they will come.
I've been hearing from @edicted about how busy @khaleelkazi is in dev on all the Leo Finance stuff, like Cub Defi and the bridge. A real machine pumping out stuff, but that he was looking for help with dev, such as React development.
It just so happens I am a React dev (that's my day job)
So yesterday I asked @edicted if he can put in a word to Khal for me. He said he would...
Well that's as far as that went, lmao. So I clicked on Khal's name and sent him a message: react dev calling ;)
And well, Khal welcomed my assistance. So I'm jumping into the bridge building, and hopefully I can contribute to reducing the time it takes to come out with the bridge for everyone to use.
Here's what I've coded so far, it's still a work in progress:
On the frontend, you will be dazzled with this functionality:
Pretty awesome, right?
LOL, kidding aside, I am helping with the bridge dev, just got started today. I got stuff to learn, but I should be able to help move things along.
Wen bridge?
I am authorized to announce the timetable:
soon soon™

Do they run 19 nodes or do they put their stamp of approval on all 21 nodes? I'm pretty sure i read that they approved the team behind bscscan to run a node.
Can't say I really know. Have not verified any of it, only what I heard from my source (@edicted) :P

That is awesome. Isn't it funny how things work out like that and sometimes things just fall into your lap? How very exciting that you get to be a part of this and that they now have someone to help spread the workload. Best of luck on helping to get this ready. I know a lot of people are looking forward to it!

That's great. We all want to work together and build hive and it's eco system. So many brilliant minds on here that we should see development exploding over the year.
Leo sure has a lot of development going on :D

Just so I understand the scale, is soon soon™ sooner that soon™ or later than soon™?
I'm not sure, does a double soon negate the first soon? :P

What, I thought they were releasing the bridge today? That is why I bought all this Leo, I swear I thought they said the 24th! This is a just like me buying a bunch of apple cause I thought there was an apple event this week, but it turned out to only be a fake news leak?? Oh we'll no big deal waiting for bridge!
I think their deadlines have been pushed back
