With so many preparations going on ahead of its mainnet launch in Q1 2023, Trust EVM has also recently announced a couple of partnerships.

(1) Trust EVM x Salus Security. The purpose of this partnership is to bring quality security solutions to web3 projects on the Trust EVM blockchain. Which means that all projects built on Trust EVM will be backed by Salus Security’s machine learning technology. Its technology is able to verify the smart contracts’ business logic with as little friction and effort as possible. The company recently announced the completion of its seed funding round, which was led by Binance Labs, the investment arm of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

(2) Trust EVM x Meson. One of the vital components for a blockchain network is the user experience, in this case, the ability for its users to quickly and easily interact with other blockchain ecosystems. This partnership means that Meson’s finance protocol will be launched on the Trust EVM mainnet to provide users a faster and safer way to execute low-cost, zero-slippage cross chain stablecoin swaps. These stablecoin swaps can be made back and forth between a multitude of chains including; Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, and Fantom, etc.
