Bifrost Runtime 20,000: A massive leap for cross-chain staking and governance

The upgraded version Runtime 20,000 has officially "launched" with a series of breakthrough improvements — helping Bifrost get closer to its goal of becoming the leading cross-chain staking and governance platform in the Polkadot ecosystem.

🔧 What's new in this upgrade?

🔁 vDOT can now be transferred between AssetHub and Bifrost – opening up multidimensional liquidity space for DeFi strategies.

🗳️ Integrate the "deleGate voting" feature in the vTokenVoting module – users can easily delegate their voting rights.

⚙️ Optimize vToken exchange rate model – improve conversion efficiency and staking yield.

🌉 Support vToken compatible with multiple (bridges) – bringing the potential to expand to other systems like Ethereum, Arbitrum, etc.

🧬 The initial step of integrating SLPx into AssetHub – laying the groundwork for more complex DeFi on Polkadot.

🗳️ Special: DeleGated Voting Track (DVT)

For the first time, the idle vDOT ( voluntarily delegated by users to Bifrost) will be activated to participate in on-chain voting.

💡 This feature is being integrated into the Dapp. Once completed, anyone can use $BNC to activate idle vDOT and promote the proposals they believe in – while also increasing their weight of influence in the governance system of Polkadot.

🔥 From staking → to governance → to cross-chain DeFi – Bifrost is leading the borderless Web3 wave.

Who says staking is just to earn interest? With Bifrost, staking is power.
