Operating within the DeFi and NFT space, Umbria Network enables anyone to migrate cryptocurrency assets across chain cheaply and quickly.
Umbria’s Narni cross-chain liquidity bridge solves blockchain interoperability issues by removing the difficulty and expense of moving assets between blockchains and is the fastest and cheapest cross-chain bridge between Ethereum mainnet and Polygon, Binance Smart Chan, Avalanche, Fantom and Arbitrum. Narni eliminates the barriers to entry for engaging with DeFi applications and NFTs making them much more accessible to a wider audience.
Additionally, bridge liquidity providers earn fees on their crypto assets with no impermanent loss.
The Umbria ecosystem, built on Polygon, has three major protocols:
A Cross-chain Asset Bridge: enables the fast and cheap transfer of assets between otherwise incompatible blockchains and cryptocurrency networks.
A Staking Pool: users can earn interest on their crypto assets by providing liquidity to the Narni bridge
A Decentralised Exchange (DEX): an automated liquidity protocol powered by a constant product formula, deployed using smart contracts and governed entirely on-chain. Provides fast and cheap token swapping
UK-publicly listed Online Blockchain plc (LSE: OBC) acts as Umbria’s coordinator, administrator and advisor. This provides a level of transparency rare in the DeFi sp
The team behind Minecraft, one of the most popular games of all time, declared today that it won't support NFTs. Gaming has been touted as a potential use case for NFTs, so the Microsoft-owned game's stance on blockchain technology could have serious ramifications for such developers. "NFTs are not inclusive of all our community and create a scenario of the haves and the have-nots," Minecraft developer Mojang wrote on its website.

Elon Musk was dealt a blow Tuesday when a Delaware court ruled that Twitter can expedite a trial against him, beginning in October.
Last quarter, the company had a weak outlook for the second quarter and predicted a net loss of two million subscribers. While today's results beat the projection, it is still the largest quarterly loss in the company’s history. The company reported a total of 220.67 million subscribers and said it expects to add one million in the third quarter.
In the spring of 2021, more than three years after Justice League landed in theaters, Warner Bros. released Zack Snyder's Justice League, a sprawling, ambitious HBO Max film event that served as both a director's cut and major expansion of the original film. The release came after years of fan demands to "Release the Snyder Cut" on social media, a movement driven by both a sincere desire to simply see Snyder's preferred version of the film and a persistent dissatisfaction with Warners' handling
On Tuesday, Meta.is,
an installation-art company, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan against Meta Platforms Inc., the former Facebook, for allegedly infringing on its trademark and engaging in "egregious acts of unfair competition."
Twitter has received the go-ahead to accelerate its legal case against Elon Musk for backing out of his deal to acquire the social media platform.
Zack Snyder's legion of fans is very real, but perhaps not as large as was previously thought.
Hyundai and Peloton hope to see their products in Netflix shows, while others are looking to reach young people who have cut the cord. Companies expect an update on the pending ad-supported tier when the streaming service reports earnings later Tuesday.

The success of the Netflix hit Stranger Things, and the old school music driving its story, is just the latest example of a wave of 1980s-themed content that has taken over the film and television business in the last few years. A new report from Luminate, the group that helps track music streaming sales and trends, indicates that while nostalgia is profitable, US-based Gen X (ages 42 to 57), millennial (ages 26 to 41), and even Gen Z (10 to 25) listeners prefer content from the 1990s over that from the 1980s. Baby Boomers (58-76) are the one group that favors 1980s music over the 1990s.
