What is Qubit
Qubit is a DeFi platform that deals in various blockchains. Qubit lets the deposits made in one crypto be withdrawn from another. It has been forming a bridge between Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain networks.
Qubit Finance uses smart contracts instead of third parties to provide its customers with various financial services. QBridge, on the other hand, is a cross-chain process that lets users guarantee their assets on other networks without shifting assets among chains.
