OnFinality provides scalable API services to Interlay

OnFinality, Polkadot’s leading blockchain infrastructure provider, announces a partnership with Interlay, a trustless and decentralised Bitcoin bridge.

We are proud to announce our partnership with Interlay which allows users to invest, earn and pay with Bitcoin on any blockchain.

OnFinality has been working closely with the team at Interlay for over a year but had not formally announced the partnership until today. Since the outset, OnFinality has been providing Interlay with an easy, reliable and scalable API to scale their platform faster than before in addition to providing node services for both Interlay and sister-network Kintsugi.

“We are very happy to be working with OnFinality to bring reliable and easy to maintain API endpoints to our users and partners.”

Dom, CTO, Interlay

What is Interlay? ($INTR)

Interlay is a decentralised network dedicated to connecting crypto-currencies like Bitcoin with DeFi platforms like Polkadot and Ethereum. The Interlay network is hosted as a Polkadot parachain and will be connected to Cosmos, Ethereum and other major DeFi networks.

interBTC, Interlay’s flagship product, is Bitcoin on any blockchain. A 1:1 Bitcoin-backed asset, fully collateralized, interoperable, and censorship-resistant.

Kintsugi is Interlay’s canary network, an experiment with real economic value deployed on Kusama. Kintsugi and Interlay share the same code base — with the difference that Kintsugi focuses strictly on innovation and will always be ahead in terms of features.

The OnFinality integration enables Interlay users to:

  • Access the Interlay network quickly in minutes without having to set up or manage infrastructure
  • Enjoy all the benefits that come with OnFinality’s Enhanced API including global performance, automated scalability and high availability of up to 99.9% uptime per year!
  • Gain valuable API Insights for you to spot issues on your apps and quickly implement rectifications for a bug-free user experience

By leveraging OnFinality’s expertise in mission-critical infrastructure for the Polkadot ecosystem, the development team at Interlay have been able to focus on their interBTC platform which can be easily used on Ethereum, Cosmos, Kusama and other networks through Polkadot’s interoperability technology.
