Introducing Router’s New Nitro UI: Speed, Intelligence, and Simplicity


It has been almost a year since the launch of Router Nitro. What started as a vision to create seamless cross-chain transfers has evolved into an intuitive and efficient platform that supports a wide range of cross-chain actions. While Router Nitro is often recognized for its bridging capabilities, it stands out as one of the few cross-chain bridge that brings cross-chain intents—such as staking and liquidity provisioning—to life with ease.


But we don't believe in standing still. So, as a special gift to our community (yes, we're calling it a belated New Year's gift), we're excited to introduce the new and improved Router Nitro UI. Engineered with speed, efficiency, and a user experience that feels smooth as butter, this updated UI doesn't just set a new bar—it redefines it. Dive in and explore it here.


A Leap Forward: A New Era of Cross-Chain Transfers


This is not just an upgrade; it's a transformation. The new Router Nitro UI offers an experience designed with simplicity and speed at its core. Chain abstraction plays a significant role in this redesign, ensuring that users can execute cross-chain swaps and other actions across multiple networks without confusion or friction. If you've already seen a sneak peek (courtesy of our overly eager intern), you're likely already impressed by the sleek design and intuitive functionality. But trust us, the full rollout brings everything to a whole new level.


What's New in the Router Nitro UI?


There's so much to cover in this update that we could be here all day. But we'll keep it concise and highlight some of the game-changing features you'll experience:


Auto Refuel


No gas? No problem. Router Nitro now intelligently detects when your native funds on the destination chain are running low and automatically refuels your gas. This feature eliminates the need for manual intervention, saving you time and hassle during cross-chain transfers.


Smarter Token Selection


In the previous Router Nitro UI, users were required to manually choose both the source and destination chains, along with the respective tokens for each. With the new cross-chain swap DEX functionality, token selection now feels more natural and intuitive, similar to a standard DEX swap. You can simply search for tokens like "USDC on Base" or "USDC Base," and the system will automatically display the appropriate options.


Multiple Wallet Connections


Thanks to the integration of Router's Tangled SDK, the new Nitro enables seamless wallet connections across multiple networks, including EVM-based chains, Solana, Sui, Tron, and Osmosis. This simplifies the process of managing assets and signing transactions across various cross-chain bridge without hassle.


Multi-Chain Gas Send Feature


Managing native tokens across different chains has never been easier. The multi-chain gas send feature allows you to send gas tokens to multiple chains in a single transaction. This feature is ideal for users who interact with various chains and want to streamline their asset management.


50% Faster Withdrawals


Occasionally, transactions can experience delays due to issues like destination chain RPC errors or sudden gas price spikes. In the past, users had to wait up to 6 hours to withdraw funds from the source chain. With the new Nitro, this time has been reduced by 50% to just 3 hours—and we're actively working on reducing it even further.


New User Dashboard


Transparency is crucial, and the updated User Dashboard provides you with clear visibility into your past and pending transactions. You can easily view transaction details such as amounts, source and destination chains, transaction hashes, and processing times. This feature ensures that you are always informed about your transactions and activities within the platform.


Discover Page


Explore the ecosystem of seamless cross-chain liquidity solutions for projects with the new "Discover" page. From staking to liquidity provisioning, you can view all supported applications and instantly access them with a single click.


Why Does This Matter?


Let's face it—cross-chain transfers can be a headache. High fees, slow processing times, and clunky interfaces have plagued the crypto space for far too long. With the updated Router Nitro UI, we've tackled these pain points head-on. Whether you're an interoperability enthusiast, a trader, or a developer, these upgrades are designed to make your experience as smooth and efficient as possible.


  • For Developers: The Tangled SDK simplifies integration across multiple wallets, enhancing the user experience and facilitating better interaction with various cross-chain bridge.

  • For Everyone: Enjoy faster withdrawals, auto refuels, and an intuitive UI that makes cross-chain transfers as easy as sending a message.

The Road Ahead: More Innovation Coming Soon


The Router Nitro UI is a testament to our ongoing commitment to innovation and user-centric design. We've listened to your feedback, fine-tuned every feature, and created a platform that's both powerful and easy to use. But this is just the beginning. We've got a lot more lined up:


  • Router Pay: Imagine making transactions without needing wallet connections or approvals. Router Pay will let users send assets to a dynamically created address (from any wallet or CEX) on the source chain and receive their desired asset on the destination chain.

  • Solana Swaps: Soon, you'll be able to buy meme coins on Solana using any token from any chain, thanks to enhanced cross-chain swap capabilities.

  • Cross-Chain Swaps with Bitcoin as Source: We're breaking down barriers by enabling users to initiate transactions from Bitcoin, allowing them to receive assets other than wBTC on the destination chain.

  • Even Faster Withdrawals: While we've already halved withdrawal times, we're targeting further reductions to make Nitro one of the fastest cross-chain solutions in the space.

As we continue to innovate and enhance our platform, we remain focused on making cross-chain bridge and multi-chain interactions smoother, faster, and more accessible for everyone. Stay tuned for the exciting developments ahead!

Router: Simplifying Cross-Chain Bridge

Image
  In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, blockchain have grown increasingly diverse, each offering unique features and functionalities. However, these  blockchain networks  often operate in isolation, making it difficult to transfer assets or data between them. This is where the concept of the cross-chain bridge comes in. A cross-chain bridge is a crucial technology that enables seamless communication and interoperability between blockchains, opening up a world of possibilities for decentralized finance (DeFi) and other blockchain-based applications. What is a Cross-Chain Bridge? A cross-chain bridge allows users to transfer assets from one blockchain network to another. Blockchain networks like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or Solana have distinct ecosystems but do not natively interact with one another. The  cross-chain bridge  acts as a connector, facilitating the movement of assets between these networks wh...
