- Shimmer will be integrated into the multi-chain bridge.
- Shimmer is a staging network that accelerates network upgrades on the IOTA ecosystem.
The IOTA ecosystem has stated that Shimmer needs to reach a point where it would be possible to transfer NFTs from Ethereum, Polygon and other blockchains. The NFTs will be transferable to Shimmer, and the reverse will also be possible. There needs to be a smooth integration between the IOTA Web3 ecosystem and the rest of the Web3 space. The IOTA community made this known via Twitter recently.
Shimmer needs to get to a point where NFTs from other blockchains (Ethereum, Polygon, etc) can be moved onto Shimmer and vice versa.
In other words, the IOTA web3 ecosystem must be smoothly integrated with the rest of the web3 space.

In November 2021, the IOTA Foundation launched the Shimmer network. The Shimmer Network is a staging network that facilitates network upgrades in the IOTA space.
It allows developers to test multiple features and upgrades in an incentivized location before releasing such features or upgrades to the mainnet. Shimmer has its native token (SMR), which developers use to incentivize testing for various features and functions before the mainnet launch. Friday 9 On September 2022, Bankless Consulting hosted a Shimmer DeFi Education Room.
A highlight of the session was the discussion on wallets and interaction with DeFi. During the session, Bankless advised session participants to always choose a wallet that is compatible with NFT marketplaces. It also revealed that Shimmer had just launched an NFT marketplace. Bankless also said that Shimmer’s firefly wallet is compatible with various NFT marketplaces.

The DeFi education consultancy also mentioned a browser extension (revoke.cash) that works on the Shimmer network. This browser extension works in chrome, brave or other chrome edge chromium browsers. This extension is a great tool that revokes any permission you have given to various websites and NFT projects.
It is a good practice to check regularly (at least once a month) and remove any extra permissions. A video demo of how the tool works on the Shimmer network is available on the Shimmer website. Shimmer plans to make the revoke.cash website work directly with the Shimmer EVM for greater convenience. According to Bankless, it plans to continue hosting these DeFi education sessions in the coming weeks.
