 <p class="is-style-lead">Cross-chain liquidity provider Pike Finance has announced the launch of its testnet on Ethereum and its layer-2 solutions.</p>
 <p>In an X thread on Dec. 11, 2023, Pike said blockchain developers can now experiment with the protocol’s cross-chain functions using a testnet available on Ethereum as well as Goerli’s versions on Optimism, Arbitrum and Base. While no timetable is in place, Pike said other networks such as Solana, Monad and Fraxchain are also expected to be supported by the protocol.</p>
