Cross-Chain Interoperability
Moving value and messages between blockchains without trusting a single bridge or relay.
Independent blockchains increasingly need to talk to each other, yet most bridges still concentrate trust in a small committee or a single operator. We design protocols where that trust is minimized or removed altogether.
Our work spans hash time-locked contracts, light-client verification and market-based multi-relay architectures, with an eye on liveness, cost and resistance to linkability attacks.
