Hybrid bridging

How Hybrid Bridging Works

The Hybrid Bridging protocol is an innovative solution for transferring wrapped blue-chip tokens like wETH and wBTC across various blockchain networks. The addition of blue-chip tokens to both new and established chains can increase trader interest and activity on DEXs.

Hybrid bridging combines the best features of lock-and-mint bridging and native token bridging.

For chains that lack native support for wETH or wBTC, the protocol utilizes secure lock-and-mint functionality. This involves locking tokens on the original chain and minting equivalent wrapped tokens on the destination chain.

For chains that already support native wETH and wBTC, the protocol employs a more efficient native token bridging method, allowing for smooth transfers without the need for additional minting. Additionally, if a user bridges ChainPort-minted wETH or wBTC to a chain with native support, the minted tokens are burnt and replaced with native wETH or wBTC.

This hybrid approach ensures the efficient and flexible transfer of wrapped tokens across different blockchain environments.

Current Bridgeable Assets:
‍Blue-chip tokens (wETH, wBTC and more upon demand!)

Wrapped Asset Bridging

A legacy bridging method creates a wrapped version of an asset on the target chain and locks it with fund segregation on the source chain.

External Cross-Chain Protocols

ChainPort is connected to external bridging protocols that allow permissionless burning and minting of native tokens.

Native Token Bridging

ChainPort provides a platform for bridging assets originally minted on multiple chains but managed by their issuer and guaranteed instant finality.

Hybrid Bridging Features

Hybrid Bridging combines lock-and-mint and native bridging methods, enhancing interoperability while maintaining security and efficiency for tokens.

Multi-blockchain interoperability

Enjoy smooth transfers of wrapped tokens like wETH and wBTC across various chains, enhancing their connectivity and compatibility.

Secure & Permissionless Transactions

Hybrid Bridging Protocol ensures wrapped tokens like wETH and wBTC are transferred safely and without restrictions, combining robust security with open access.

Scalable and Efficient

Transfer wETH and wBTC within minutes with low costs, ensuring high performance and scalability for transactions.

Managed and Controlled Liquidity

Native Token Bridging allows liquidity to be added or removed from the bridge contract as needed by token issuers. This flexibility empowers issuers to manage liquidity efficiently, ensuring that users can bridge their tokens whenever they choose.

Project Pool Stats

ChainPort's intuitive interface transforms liquidity management with a user-friendly display. All vital stats are readily visible, allowing project teams to make informed decisions about adding or removing liquidity based on real-time data.

White-label Specific Wallets to Manage Liquidity

Token issuers can white-label specific wallets to provide a secure and controlled environment for managing liquidity. White-labeling wallets will allow only authorized parties to add or revoke liquidity, ensuring the integrity of the bridging process.
