Following the successful integration of Radix into the Hyperlane cross-chain bridge, new warp routes and assets have been regularly added to the system. 

Today, a warp route has been added that allows users to swap between eXRD (Ethereum) and native XRD in a fully permissionless way. This means you can now move eXRD from Ethereum directly to Radix as native XRD through Hyperlane's permissionless infrastructure, as well as bridge XRD to eXRD on Ethereum. 

This new route adds a critical piece of Radix's multi-chain connectivity, and work is underway to explore additional wrapped XRD routes to provide more liquidity, access, and on/off-ramps for XRD holders.

What's New

The eXRD-XRD warp route enables direct bridging between:

• Ethereum: eXRD (E-RADIX)
• Radix: Native XRD

This means eXRD holders on Ethereum can now bridge their tokens directly to Radix to participate in the Radix ecosystem and stake with validators without needing to use a centralized bridge or exchange.

Why This Matters

Until now, XRD existed on Ethereum as eXRD but moving between chains required multiple steps or centralized exchanges. This Hyperlane route changes that.

For existing eXRD holders: Your tokens on Ethereum can now move seamlessly to Radix mainnet as native XRD. Bridge in and participate in the ecosystem without exchange intermediaries.

For Radix users: Enhanced liquidity pathways mean more capital can flow into the ecosystem. Native XRD bridging strengthens the connection between Radix and Ethereum's vast liquidity pools.

For the ecosystem: This completes another core asset bridge infrastructure alongside USDC, USDT, wBTC, SOL, BNB and ETH routes already live. Every major asset class now has a permissionless path into Radix.

How to Bridge Your eXRD

Ready to move your eXRD to Radix? Head to Astrolescent to start bridging:

1. Select ETH as your source network and eXRD as your source asset
2. Select Radix as your destination network and XRD as your destination asset
3. Enter the amount, your Radix Wallet address, and confirm
4. Connect your Ethereum wallet (holding eXRD) and sign the transaction
5. Your eXRD becomes native XRD on Radix

Once complete, your XRD appears in your Radix Wallet ready for use across the ecosystem.

What's Next

With native XRD bridging live, new infrastructure is in place for XRD to expand into new ecosystems and markets. By having permissionless routes cross-chain, XRD has access to more liquidity across DEXs and other DeFi products, as well as stronger connectivity between Ethereum and Radix communities.
