Speaking on the partnership, the CEO of NEAR Foundation, Erik Trautman said, “NEAR’s vision always envisioned a multi-chain world, whereby each blockchain could seamlessly talk and exchange data between one another. Ardana to aid in the creation of a multi-chain world, and integrations like this help realise that goal.”
With the partnership and subsequent integration of projects on both the Cardano and NEAR ecosystems, Ardana will facilitate the transfer of tokens from Cardano to NEAR and vice versa, with cross-chain smart contract functionality to be added in the future.
