Turing launches bi-directional communication with Karura

HRMP channels with Karura, Heiko, and Khala pave the way for trustless automation in Kusama.

The team at OAK Network is excited to announce that the Turing Network now supports Horizontal Relay-routed Message Passing (HRMP), enabling Turing to communicate with other parachains using a standard cross-consensus messaging format (XCM). While HRMP is exclusively used to communicate between parachains, its eventual successor (XCMP) will unlock messaging to and from networks that don’t share security with Polkadot or Kusama parachains.

By adding support for HRMP, Turing becomes the automation hub for Kusama. With a common language to communicate, Turing can store and execute any function on connected parachains. In addition to enabling trustless automation, HRMP also allows Turing to securely transfer assets to other parachains without the use of a centralized bridge, a security risk theorized as the reason cross-chain applications will fail.

Turing Network HRMP Instructions

The information and instructions that you need to request HRMP channels with Turing Staging (connected to the Rococo relay chain) are below.

Network: Turing Staging
Token: Turing
Symbol: TUR
Decimals: 10
Multi-location: X1 (of 1)
Parachain ID: 2114

1. 📤 Send a request from your parachain to open an outbound HRMP* channel with Turing Staging:

hrmp.hrmpInitOpenChannel(recipient: 2114, proposedMaxCapacity: 1000, proposedMaxMessageSize: 102400)

2. 📥 You must accept the request from Turing Staging to open an inbound HRMP* channel:

hrmp.hrmpAcceptOpenChannel(sender: 2114)

*Please request HRMP channels with Turing Staging connected to the Rococo testnet and discuss with me or another member of the growth team at OAK Network prior to requesting HRMP channels in Kusama or Polkadot.

You’ve now established support for the TUR token and unlocked trustless automation on your Rococo parachain!
