On January 11th, it was reported by The Block that decentralized perpetual contract exchange Infinex announced a partnership with the Near Foundation to integrate Near's chain signature into the decentralized trading platform. Chain signature is a protocol that allows users to sign transactions on third-party blockchains from a Near account.

In a statement, Infinex said that this partnership will allow users to "easily control and interact with non-smart contract chains such as Litecoin and Bitcoin." Other chains supported by chain signature include Cosmos chain, Dogecoin, and XRP Ledger.
