Episode 40 - Cross-chain interoperability mind-bending highway spaghetti bowl

<p>Good morning! Some crypto friends yesterday told me about DeFi Kingdoms and I thought that I should go give it a look as the way they described it, it sounds like a really fun and profitable Play-2-Earn game in the GameFi world. I went to the website to give it a look and realized that it was on the Harmony One blockchan. I was like "Oh man. another blockchain rabbit hole to go down." So I started looking up some Harmony fundamentals and how to bridge to Harmony. I did not want to use a centralized exchange like Binance or Crypto.com and transfer my dollars into the crypto space because I am low on cash, so I wanted to figure out a way to transfer some WETH I had on Polygon to Harmony. It took me on a quest. Or in more modern terms, in a superhighway interchange spaghetti bowl.</p> <p>Here was my sequence of actions:</p> <p>1) Swap WETH to WONE on Quickswap</p> <p>2) Use RelayChain.com to bridge WONE from Polygon to Harmony</p> <p>3) Use SushiSwap to Unwrap WONE to ONE on the Harmony blockchain.</p> <p> </p> <p>It took alot of trial and error to figure this out by trying Multichain.org, Anyswap.exchange, bridge.harmony.com On top of that, I had to end up buying a little bit of ONE token on crypto.com because I did not have any Harmony in my wallet to do the swap from WONE to ONE in SushiSwap, and I could not find a faucet I trusted.</p> <p> </p> <p>So in the end, I never got to play DeFi Kingdom in this episode. I will save that for tomorrow on Christmas. It was an interesting road getting there though!</p> <p>Sources:</p> <p><a href='https://defikingdoms.com/'>https://defikingdoms.com/ </a></p> <p>https://medium.com/dehive/how-to-change-your-rpc-in-polygon-8d6d76719313 <a href='https://medium.com/harmony-one/harmony-polygon-bridge-is-live-with-anyswap-eff1ad605065'>https://medium.com/harmony-one/harmony-polygon-bridge-is-live-with-anyswap-eff1ad605065</a></p> <p><a href='https://explorer.harmony.one/address/0xcf664087a5bb0237a0bad6742852ec6c8d69a27a'> https://explorer.harmony.one/address/0xcf66408
