Online Blockchain plc: The Red Village and Umbria Partner to Create a Seamless Gaming Experience
LONDON, Jan. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

- Highly anticipated blockchain game integrates Narni bridge widget into 
platform 

Umbria Network is providing The Red Village community with a fast, cheap and 
easy way to bridge ETH to the Polygon network (WETH) via its new bridge widget. 

The Red Village is the first dark-fantasy Play-to-Earn (P2E) multiplayer NFT 
game on the Polygon network (formerly MATIC). NFT 'Champions' - characters 
played within the game - exist on Polygon. In order to purchase Champions, 
gamers will need to convert their Ether ($ETH) from the Ethereum mainnet to 
wrapped ETH on the Polygon network. Players will also require WETH to pay the 
buy-in when competing in the game's flagship fighting Tournaments. Umbria's 
Narni bridge widget will enable them to do this faster, and at approximately a 
90% discount to other solutions.

Umbria's Narni Bridge - https://bridge.umbria.network/ - has already been 
heavily adopted by the NFT community. The 
widget[https://widget.umbria.network/] has all the core functionality of Narni 
and can be fully integrated into third party sites. Umbria developers have 
worked closely with The Red Village to help design a custom, rebranded bridge 
for its platform whereby players remain within the game's ecosystem and can 
easily migrate their assets to the correct chain to enjoy a superior, 
frictionless user experience.  

"The widget brings the huge speed and cost-saving advantages of the Narni 
bridge to end users inconspicuously within their native environment," said 
Oscar Chambers, Co-founder/lead developer of Umbria Network. "We're delighted 
to have The Red Village as the premier test case for the widget and are excited 
to be bringing the Narni experience to this wider gaming audience."

Lucien Dorman, Co-founder of The Red Village, commented: "We've seen the Narni 
bridge used elsewhere in blockchain gaming to great success, and are thrilled 
to now have our own custom 'The Red Village' branded widget built for in-game 
use. Not only will this make our player experience easier, but also greatly 
reduce costs for players. It's a win-win!"

The Red Village Mystic token drop (consisting of R4-R6 Champion Genotypes) will 
be on January 24th (Presale) and 25th (Public sale) -

About Umbria

https://bridge.umbria.network/ 

Operating within the DeFi and NFT space, Umbria Network enables anyone to 
migrate cryptocurrency assets across chain cheaply and quickly and earn high 
APYs on those assets with no impermanent loss. 

Umbria's flagship Narni cross-chain bridge is solving current blockchain 
interoperability issues. Narni removes the difficulty and expense of moving 
assets between blockchains and is the fastest and cheapest cross-chain 
liquidity bridge between the Ethereum and Polygon networks. Narni eliminates 
the barriers to entry for engaging with DeFi applications and NFTs making them 
much more accessible to a wider audience. 

The Umbria ecosystem, built on Polygon, has three major protocols:

1. A Cross-chain Asset Bridge: enables the fast and cheap transfer of assets 
between otherwise incompatible blockchains and cryptocurrency networks. 
2. A Staking Pool: users can earn interest on their crypto assets by providing 
liquidity to the Narni bridge  
3. A Decentralised Exchange (DEX): an automated liquidity protocol powered by a 
constant product formula, deployed using smart contracts and governed entirely 
on-chain. Provides fast and cheap token swapping

UK-publicly listed Online Blockchain plc [http://www.onlineblockchain.io/] 
(LSE: OBC) acts as Umbria's coordinator, administrator and advisor. This 
provides a level of transparency rare in the DeFi space.
