Kusama reveals BEEFY upgrade to enable seamless blockchain verification on Ethereum and other EVM networks

Kusama (KSM), Polkadot’s (DOT) canary network, announced BEEFY, its latest consensus protocol set to facilitate verification of its blockchain on Ethereum (ETH) and other EVM-compatible networks, according to info shared with Finbold on February 26.

The release aligns closely with Polkadot’s ambition to bring Kusama closer to the broader blockchain ecosystem by fostering enhanced connectivity and interaction.

The significance of BEEFY

At the heart of the BEEFY upgrade lie two innovative bridges: Snowbridge and Hyperbridge.

Snowbridge serves as a common good bridge directly linking Kusama to Ethereum, amplifying the exchange of information and transactions. 

On the other hand, Hyperbridge facilitates secure interoperability with Ethereum’s Layer-2 networks and emerging chains, upping the overall efficiency and interconnectedness of the blockchain environment.

Acting as a test bed for more experimental blockchain protocols, Kusama is the perfect platform for such releases. 

Seun Lanlege, Founder of blockchain research and development lab Polytope Labs, commented on BEEFY’s potential to meet the escalating demand for interoperable solutions within the Web3 space, stating:

“The BEEFY upgrade massively bolsters the value of interacting with Kusama and the Polkadot ecosystem. More than ever, web3 users covet interoperable solutions and the ability to move from one ecosystem to another without encountering friction. I expect this upgrade to meet their expectations.”

What it means for Polkadot

Kusama’s embrace of the BEEFY protocol represents just one aspect of the growing relationship between the Polkadot ecosystem and other blockchain networks. 

Its integration into Kusama thus not only opens up new avenues for crypto users but also serves as a testament to Polkadot’s commitment to an interconnected blockchain ecosystem.

Trustless bridges, such as Interlay, have already been established, linking Polkadot with prominent networks like Ethereum, Avalanche (AVN), Cardano (ADA), and Binance Smart Chain, facilitating the transfer of digital assets and smart contract instructions.

In such an environment, the BEEFY protocol underscores a broader movement towards greater interoperability and collaboration within the crypto space.
