[**icRouter**](https://iclight.io/account) is a cross-chain network of assets based on threshold signature technology, with no off-chain bridges, supporting Bitcoin, IC, and EVM networks (e.g., Ethereum).&#x20;

In the past two years, a large number of cross-chain bridges have been attacked due to centralized node issues, resulting in billions of dollars in losses. With the development of threshold signature technology, which provides the possibility to implement asset cross-chain without an off-chain bridge approach, IC Network's t-ECDSA technology has successfully implemented Bitcoin integration, which is implemented in a fully on-chain approach. This technology improves cross-chain security and reduces attack vectors.

The goal of the project is to implement a cross-chain network that enables the transfer of mainstream public chain assets to each other, supporting Bitcoin, Ethereum, IC, Polygon, Optimism, BNB Chain, and more. It is an all-in-one solution that supports most integrations of IC's chain-key technology, including ckBTC, and ckETH, which is being developed by the Dfinity Foundation. We use the IC network for information routing and asset routing to achieve bridgeless asset cross-chaining. The project will implement the following features:

We believe achieving multi-chain asset consolidation will contribute to a DEX boom, that it will contribute to the IC being adopted on a larger scale, and that ICP holders will generally benefit. Resulting in users of our DEX having more assets and liquidity to trade on the IC.

### Roadmap & Future Development

[**icRouter**](https://icdex.io/icRouter) was designed with an ambitious vision: to integrate with every major blockchain; unlocking access to thriving ecosystems, high TVLs, and large trade volumes.&#x20;

Future updates will include support for popular blockchains like Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and Ripple (XRP), expanding icRouter’s reach and ensuring easy access to capital from these established networks.&#x20;

Updates like these go hand in hand with the integration work being done by the Dfinity Foundation and as they add support for wider varieties of signature schemes our team will remain constantly researching new innovations to continue giving you the most that we can from our products.&#x20;
