Beta is excited to present the future direction of the project today, and the timing couldn’t have been better. With Bitcoin surpassing $100,000 for the very first time, there are now a wealth of new people using crypto today compared to before. Combined with the progress of AI, the importance of crypto is more apparent than ever before, and new opportunities are unlocked. The team has grown to capture the new opportunity, while continuing to grow the existing products under the Beta umbrella, leading us to present our two main focuses:

We are excited to announce the integration of BETA on Stargate for Ethereum and BNBChain. Now, BETA users are able to bridge seamlessly between Ethereum Mainnet and BNBChain using the Stargate bridge, powered by Layerzero. The BETA token on Ethereum Mainnet has now integrated the OFTAdapter standard issued by LayerZero. This means that the token being bridged through Stargate on Ethereum Mainnet is the native BETA token. However, for BNBChain there is an OFT wrapper around the native BETA token on BNBChain. This means that in order to bridge the token on BNBChain, users must first convert the native BETA token on BNBChain to the OFT token, compatible with Stargate. The guide below outlines the steps to take for bridging from BNBChain to Ethereum Mainnet and from Ethereum Mainnet to BNBChain.

Beta 在链上构建下一代借贷市场已经超过三年时间。Beta 凭借其两款旗舰产品：V1 - Permissionless Markets（无许可市场）和 V2 - Omni，持续展现了强大的创新能力，并且拥有强大的安全性——迄今为止，Beta 在这些产品中支持了累计数亿美元的借贷。Beta 自豪地成为了历史上从未遭受攻击的顶级项目之一，并且在社区中树立了良好的信誉。

Beta has surpassed it’s 3rd year building next generation lending markets on-chain. Beta has continued to shown strong innovation with its two flagship products: V1 - Permissionless Markets and V2 - Omni, and strong security — having cumulatively supported hundreds of millions of dollars in lending and borrowing across the products. Beta is proud to be one of the top projects that has never been exploited in its history and has proven a strong track record for the community.

The first half of 2024 has been great for Beta. Beta has seen the expansion of Omni onto three of the highest EVM consumer chains: Ethereum, BNBChain, and Arbitrum, the distribution of over $1 million to users through Omni Overdrive and BETA Staking, growth to over $7M in TVL across 31 markets, and more. Beta is excited for what is to come for the rest of the year, and would like to keep the community updated on changes.
