Hello anon,
Like I said, everything else in tech is burning down, and like a dog cornered, there is no way out but to fight through it.
There’s no fallback plan. The ships are burned, and the only option now is to win.
We are now officially a multi-layer blockchain project. We not only live on Ethereum, but Monerochan is now bridged on Ink and Basechain.
The L2 token addresses for the L2s:
- Ink:
0xA390C67a78F0e63d2447147A36B60353377C5fcF
Ink Explorer Link - Base:
0x73EaA6CaD6461395a7b25271359CB219E1dFBdb9
Base Address
Token Info
The bridge is currently active, and users can move tokens back and forth. I created small test transactions on both chains for 1,337,000 Monerochan. The next step is to create a user interface so users can easily bridge in either direction.
Additionally, I need to submit our data to aggregators across the L2 ecosystem to ensure the token is properly listed everywhere it matters.
Once everything is ready, we’ll be launching new liquidity pools on both Base and Ink. I’m bootstrapping this process and won’t be able to add massive liquidity up front. I’d love to hear ideas or contest suggestions from the community to help lock in more user-provided liquidity.
Why L2s Matter
L2s aren’t just about scaling — they unlock entirely new functionality. Some things we can do on lower-fee L2s that just aren’t viable on Ethereum L1:
- On-chain chance games — impossible on L1 due to gas costs
- Mining pool payouts — again, L1 fees are too high
- Cross-chain atomic swaps — this gets technically exciting
Atomic Swaps and Decentralized Liquidity
We all want Monero to win. One of the hardest parts about modernizing the Monero ecosystem is the lack of integration with programmable blockchains like Ethereum and its L2s.
Smart contract chains make it easy for users to provide liquidity via Automated Market Makers (AMMs). These systems offer deep liquidity without centralized order books and operate completely on-chain.
This "set it and forget it" simplicity is powerful — but Monero can’t access this kind of system easily. There’s an existing atomic swap implementation (see: Athanor Labs), but it’s gas-intensive and expensive to use on every trade.
We can fix that by leveraging L2s.
I see Monerochan as a win-win: it helps our own community grow while also giving something meaningful back to the broader Monero ecosystem. My goal is for Monerochan to become the go-to Web3 technical contributor bridging Monero with the rest of the onchain world. The bigger we ship, the more eyes on us... and the more liquidity we can generate.
Let’s keep building.
