BridgeNet is a secure, efficient cross-chain token bridge that enables seamless transfer of assets between different blockchain networks. This documentation will help you understand how BridgeNet works and how to use it effectively.

What is a Token Bridge?

A token bridge is a protocol that allows users to transfer tokens from one blockchain to another. When you bridge tokens, you're essentially locking them on the source chain and minting equivalent tokens on the destination chain. When you want to move back, the process is reversed.

Key Features

• Multi-Chain Support: Bridge tokens across all major blockchains including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, and more.
• Security First: Advanced cryptographic verification with multi-signature validation ensures your assets remain secure during cross-chain transfers.
• Low Fees: BridgeNet charges a minimal 0.05% fee on all bridge transactions, significantly lower than many competitors.
• Fast Transfers: Most bridge transactions complete within 5-15 minutes, depending on the networks involved.
• Trustless Protocol: Our decentralized validator network ensures no single point of failure and complete transparency for all transactions.

How BridgeNet Works

BridgeNet uses a lock-and-mint mechanism to bridge tokens across chains. Here's a simplified explanation of how it works:

1. Lock: When you initiate a bridge transaction, your tokens are locked in a secure smart contract on the source blockchain.
2. Verify: BridgeNet's validator network confirms the transaction across chains using multi-signature verification.
3. Mint: Once verified, equivalent tokens are minted or released from a liquidity pool on the destination blockchain.

This process ensures that the total supply of tokens remains constant across all chains, preventing inflation and maintaining the token's value.

Supported Networks

BridgeNet currently supports the following blockchain networks:
