Shimmer token holders had the opportunity to vote on the four proposals from March 16 to March 30. As stated in a blog post, all four of the governance proposals voted on by the Shimmer community have been accepted.

The community agreed to set up a Shimmer Growth Committee and a Shimmer Community Treasury Grant Committee and decided who the members of these committees would be.

SMR token holders accepted a proposal to establish a Community Treasury Grant Committee and set it up as a legal DAO entity in the Marshall Islands with a budget of 27,204,307 SMR tokens for a one-year grant program.

Shimmer Multichain partnership and EVM testnet launch

Shimmer recently announced its partnership with Multichain, a cross-chain router protocol that enables interoperability between ShimmerEVM and other networks. This will enable Shimmer and IOTA tokens to be bridged between the two ecosystems, with future cross-chain solutions between the Shimmer EVM and other major blockchains supported by Multichain.

With 56 supported EVM and non-EVM chains and more than 2,460 integrated projects supported by Multichain, the integration is believed to be a major milestone and will contribute the growth of the Shimmer and IOTA ecosystems.

Last month, the ShimmerEVM testnet chain was launched, another major milestone for the staging network.
