October 10th — Introducing Cross Chain Data Requests: A Game-Changer
We shared an exciting update on (X) Twitter about our latest development: Cross Chain Data Requests. This groundbreaking service empowers developers to fetch data from one blockchain and use it to execute smart contracts on another. Imagine the possibilities this opens up for innovation.
