On the Bifrost side, homogeneity (standardisation), liquidity, and built-in yield are the attributes that determine Bifrost liquid staking tokens (“vToken”) ability to meet a variety of DeFi use cases.  
Therefore, vToken’s cross-chain DeFi interaction scenarios will become the core of expanding XCM use cases.

As a result, Bifrost has been building the **XCM Action Pallet** in order to achieve the following goals:

1. Support users to mint Bifrost liquid staking tokens (vTokens) on the target chain; (directly minting liquid staked DOT (vDOT) on Moonbeam, Astar, Interlay etc.)
2. Expand the applications and utility of vToken liquidity on the Bifrost chain, and support cross-chain swaps and liquidations.

The XCM Action Pallet is currently under testing (likely live on Kusama network- Moonriver end of this month, and Polkadot Moonbeam Astar by next month TBC). XCM Action will be released in two versions:

**V1** : Supports contract invocation on EVM-compatible chain.

**V2** : Supports Pallet invocation on Substrate parachains.
