On deBridge, Nick said the following
As DeFi becomes a multi-chain phenomenon, decentralized bridges that can transfer value and information between distinct ecosystems will become increasingly important. We are excited to support the deBridge team as they build a product that enables the movement of capital and data between blockchain networks like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, and more.
