Optimistic Bridges

A New Paradigm for Crosschain Communication — A couple of months ago, we announced our close partnership with Nomad, a crosschain communication protocol that uses fraud proofs (similar to Optimistic Rollups) to relay data cross chains. In this post, we’ll deep dive into how optimistic bridges work, what their tradeoffs are, and why we love them. Recap: The Interoperability Trilemma The…

The Interoperability Trilemma

AKA Why Bridging Ethereum Domains is So Damn Difficult — Disclaimer: this research article was originally published in October 2021. See how the Connext team overcame the trilemma with our Amarok upgrade and research on Optimistic Bridges. A few days back, we shipped NXTP, our protocol for enabling fully trustless transfers and contract calls between Ethereum-compatible domains (domains = chains…
