Design of Cross-chain Bridge

In the last year, cross-chain bridges have been one of the hottest theses. Over one year, the cross-chain market grows from 0 to 1. Now new players face fierce competition in the cross-chain bridge market. It is time to review what happened in this market and look for real innovations. During this time, developers find three approaches for bridge designs:


  • Local Verification
  • External Verification
  • Native Verification


These designs try to balance between trustless, extensible, and generalization.
