What if your blockchain is different to mine?​

Learn about a groundbreaking protocol for secure cross-chain token transfers without bridges or third parties, using a novel 'packet' system for seamless blockchain interoperability.

Key takeaways
  • The protocol allows tokens to be transferred across different blockchains without bridges or third parties, using a new concept called “packets”

  • Packets contain inputs (previous owner reference and signature) and outputs (recipient public key and blockchain output reference), enabling secure peer-to-peer transfers

  • The system works by utilizing two common properties across blockchains: immutable databases and double-spend protection

  • Users only need to deal with their preferred blockchain’s native currency for fees, without needing accounts or tokens on other chains

  • The solution avoids the security risks and complexity of traditional blockchain bridges, which have been vulnerable to major hacks

  • Transfers between chains are as simple as transfers within the same chain, improving user experience and reducing friction

  • The protocol provides stronger privacy controls than native blockchains and can be made completely private using zero-knowledge proofs

  • Implementation is flexible and can work with any blockchain that has some form of double-spend protection

  • The system can be particularly useful for CBDCs, cross-border payments, gaming assets, and other applications requiring cross-chain functionality

  • The protocol is open and available for immediate use, with complete technical documentation accessible for verification
