BALN and sICX have embarked on their long-awaited journey across chains.
You can now hold, swap, and transfer them wrapper-free on Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, BNB Chain, ICON, and Stellar. They’ll also be available on Optimism as soon as the app connects to it, with support for other connected chains coming soon.

Hold, swap, and transfer on connected chains
For over 3.5 years, BALN and sICX were only available on the ICON blockchain.
Setting up a new wallet is too much hassle for most, so their adoption was limited to people already active within the ICON ecosystem. But thanks to this release, that’s no longer the case.
People can now trade and hold BALN and sICX using their blockchain and wallet of choice, which drastically reduces the friction to participate.
If your wallet can’t identify the tokens, add them with these contract addresses:

Cross-chain liquidity, rewards, and governance coming soon
The launch of cross-chain BALN and sICX unblocks several important features:
Cross-chain liquidity and rewards. BALN and sICX are used for Savings Rate and liquidity rewards, so these features are now cleared for their cross-chain debut. The app still requires some adjustments to support them, so from January onwards you’ll be able to supply liquidity, deposit bnUSD into the Savings Rate, and earn rewards on your favourite chain.
Cross-chain governance. You can lock up BALN to earn network fees, boost your BALN liquidity rewards, and participate in the Balanced governance process. The smart contract work is already underway to bring these benefits to connected chains.
Trade BALN and sICX cross-chain
Visit app.balanced.network/trade to swap and transfer BALN and sICX on your favourite chains.
