AO metrics are increasing all across the board, with the last having a big milestone - 700 messages sent on AO Computer since its launch in February of this year.

Sam Williams, founder of Arweave, also pointed out that Arweave is nearing 10 billion transactions - all of these messages (similar to smart contract interactions) also make up a part of this number.

Astro Labs, the team behind AO stablecoin $USDA, have announced the public beta of their very own cross-chain bridge.

Quantum is a bridge from Arweave to AO, so allows Arweave users to bridge $AR to AO as wrapped AR. The wrapped Arweave token is called $qAR.

One of the interesting ideas behind Quantum is the fact that users depositing $AR for $qAR will still be able to accrue $AO, according to Astro Labs - however they also get to use their liquidity on AO.
