PolkaBridge (PBR): Price Updates, Recent Developments, Future Events, Community
- PolkaBridge is a decentralized cross-chain protocol that connects Polkadot to other blockchains.
- It currently operates on the Ethereum network but plans to shift to Polkadot in the future.
- PolkaBridge’s native asset, PBR, has been listed on several cryptocurrency exchanges.
- The platform also plans to introduce DeFi features in the future to support bridging services.
PolkaBridge is an autonomous ecosystem that facilitates cross-chain communications between Polkadot and other blockchain networks. The platform’s native asset, the PBR token, is designed to facilitate transactional activity on the network.
It is also the base asset for cross-chain swaps and a key element of the upcoming initial decentralized offering (IDO). PolkaBridge’s ultimate goal is to migrate to the Polkadot network, where it will be able to support more blockchains and DeFi projects.
Recent Developments
PolkaBridge has achieved some key milestones over the last 12 months. After conducting crucial preliminary research on DeFi and cross-chain solutions in Q3 last year, PolkaBridge proceeded to form the developer team later in the year, which was vital for designing the PolkaBridge token (PBR).
Earlier in 2021, PolkaBridge developed a smart contract for the network, while also launching a website and releasing a whitepaper for the PBR token. After announcing the IDO for the PBR token in Q1 2021, the platform moved quickly to list PBR on Uniswap, before also listing PolkaBridge on the PolkaProject.
And in Q2, staking and launchpad followed with the introduction of the multichain launchpad and multichain staking. The multichain launchpad is designed to incubate promising projects and to allow PBR holders to participate in early-stage investment opportunities from multiple blockchains.
On the other hand, multichain staking allows users to place a stake with the PBR token across multiple blockchains. Earlier in September, PolkaBride expanded to the Polygon ecosystem, launching its staking platform.
Future Events
Looking forward, PolkaBridge has a busy schedule that will excite users. The platform is planning to launch a decentralized exchange (Multichain AMM) that will support token swaps on several blockchain platforms, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and Polkadot.
Later in 2021, PolkaBridge plans to integrate Polkadot into the PolkaBridge DeFi application, while also migrating the PBR token to the MoonBeam parachain.
On The Flipside
- PolkaBridge’s native asset, the PBR token, is probably one of the most complicated tokens for those that seek to understand how things work before investing.
- The multichain ecosystem is still considerably new compared to single blockchain networks, meaning there could be unforeseen drawbacks.
PolkaBridge (PBR): Price Updates
The PolkaBridge token (PBR) price plummeted nearly 30% over the last 24 hours, falling from $0.47 to $0.33. It is now down more than 58% since reaching an all-time high of $0.81 on September 15th.

Community
PolkaBridge seems to have many users excited ahead of its migration to Polkadot. After announcing its latest airdrop on Twitter on September 17, one user tweeted:
is the expectation that the PBR will start operating in the DOT network? ETH network is very expensive!

The platform also announced DeFi Rating, a multichain analytical platform and aggregator for the DeFi industry, will be launching an IDO on its platform. One user replied:
I did staking my 4000 PBR tokens around 2 month back...when we can expect whitelist form for DefiRating...

Another one sought clarity, posting:
So we have to stack PBR to be eligible for ido. Correct ?

Why You Should Care?
PolkaBridge was created to be the gateway or the unification of all blockchains into a single network based on Polkadot. In the process, it benefited from the unique features of several blockchain projects.
Its multichain launchpad allows users to invest in multiple blockchain projects using the PBR token, a good example being the DeFi Rating IDO.
