Technical Development: Building the Foundation for Scalable DeFi
AmaraLink Beta Launches – Connecting Moonbase Alpha and Polygon Testnet
In early October, the Amara team officially launched AmaraLink Beta, a critical step toward enabling secure, multi-signature cross-chain asset transfers. Deployed on Moonbase Alpha (Moonbeam’s test network), this release establishes a live bridge between Moonbase Alpha and Polygon’s testnet, supporting test versions of major assets including BTC, DOT, USDT, and KSM.
This milestone not only validates Amara’s cross-chain messaging architecture but also lays the groundwork for future deployment on Moonriver, expanding interoperability across heterogeneous blockchains. By focusing on security through multi-sig validation and efficient data relaying, AmaraLink aims to become a trusted conduit for value and data transfer across ecosystems.
The beta phase allows developers and users to test functionality, identify edge cases, and provide feedback—ensuring a resilient mainnet launch. For those interested in exploring its mechanics, a detailed walkthrough is available via Amara’s official channels.
Airdrop DApp Nears Completion – Streamlining Token Distribution
To enhance transparency and user experience during token distribution events, Amara has developed a dedicated Airdrop DApp. This decentralized application enables users to:
- Connect their wallets securely
- Verify eligibility for airdrops instantly
- Claim tokens without paying gas fees
Designed with simplicity and fairness in mind, the Airdrop DApp eliminates common pain points such as manual verification delays and high transaction costs. Currently in internal testing, the platform will be rolled out in coordination with upcoming token releases, ensuring smooth and scalable distribution at launch.
This tool underscores Amara’s focus on user-centric design—making DeFi more accessible to non-technical participants while maintaining full decentralization.

AmaraLend v1 Under Active Development – Enhancing Lending Protocol Stability
Following the successful conclusion of the AmaraLend Beta global testnet, the development team has shifted focus to refining AmaraLend v1. Based on extensive feedback from over 40,000 participating addresses, engineers are optimizing core modules including:
- Interest rate calculation algorithms
- Liquidation mechanisms
- Risk assessment models
Several known bugs identified during public testing have already been resolved, with additional improvements aimed at boosting performance under high-load conditions. The upgraded protocol is scheduled for release in Q4 2025, aligning with broader ecosystem milestones.
AmaraLend differentiates itself by prioritizing long-tail assets—often overlooked by mainstream lending platforms—thereby unlocking liquidity for underutilized digital resources across chains.
AmaraPay Enters Research Phase – Bridging Traditional and Digital Finance
Expanding beyond lending and bridging, Amara is now exploring the development of AmaraPay, a non-aggregated payment gateway protocol designed for compliance-friendly jurisdictions. The goal? To create a fast, responsive, and regulation-aware payment layer within the Polkadot ecosystem.
Still in technical research and feasibility analysis, AmaraPay aims to close the gap between traditional financial systems and decentralized networks. If implemented, it could enable real-world use cases such as merchant payments, payroll disbursement, and cross-border remittances—all powered by blockchain technology.
This initiative marks a strategic expansion into financial inclusion, positioning Amara as a holistic infrastructure provider rather than just a DeFi protocol.
NFT Loyalty Program in Design – Rewarding Core Community Members
Integral to Amara’s long-term engagement strategy is the upcoming NFT积分 (NFT Points) Module, set to launch after AmaraLend v1 goes live. Inspired by platforms like Zapper, this system allows users to earn points by completing daily or weekly tasks—such as providing liquidity or referring new users.
Key features include:
- No-cost NFT minting (users only pay nominal gas fees)
- Tiered membership levels based on accumulated points
- Exclusive platform benefits tied to NFT ownership
These NFTs will serve as both identity markers and utility tokens, granting holders early access to features, governance rights, or special rewards. Notably, top-performing community ambassadors may receive NFTs directly—bypassing point requirements—as recognition for exceptional contributions.
The design phase is ongoing, with visual concepts being finalized to reflect Amara’s brand ethos: innovation, inclusivity, and interconnectivity.
