Introduction

Bridgeless is an innovative, standalone system designed to facilitate interoperability across various blockchain networks. By enabling seamless interaction between blockchains, Bridgeless empowers users to perform cross-chain activities such as transferring assets efficiently and securely.

Purpose of Bridgeless​

The primary goal of Bridgeless is to allow users to interact across multiple blockchain networks. It achieves this by:

  • Tracking specific transactions on a source blockchain.
  • Generating cryptographic proof (witness) of these transactions.
  • Storing the generated proof in a decentralized ledger.
  • Facilitating appropriate actions on the target blockchain using the stored proof.

Key Functionalities​

Bridgeless ensures robust cross-chain operations by enabling users to initiate specific actions, such as asset deposits, on a source blockchain. It tracks supported blockchains to identify and monitor transactions related to these actions. Once relevant transactions are identified, Bridgeless generates a witness, serving as cryptographic proof of the completed action on the source chain.

This witness is then securely stored in a decentralized ledger, ensuring its integrity and availability. Leveraging the stored witness, Bridgeless facilitates corresponding actions on the target blockchain, such as asset withdrawal, completing the cross-chain interaction seamlessly and securely.

Use Case: Asset Transfer​

For the asset transfer use case, Bridgeless enables users to:

  1. Lock (Deposit) Assets on Source Chain

    • Users can deposit assets on the source blockchain.
    • Tracks these deposits and records the associated transaction details.

  2. Generate Witness for Asset Lock

    • Generates a cryptographic proof (witness) confirming the asset lock on the source chain.

  3. Store Witness in Decentralized Ledger

    • The witness, along with deposit details, is stored in a secure and decentralized manner.

  4. Withdraw Assets on Target Chain

    • Users can withdraw their assets on the target blockchain using the stored witness as proof of the original deposit.
