Blockchain Bridge
A blockchain bridge, also referred to as a cross-chain bridge, facilitates communication between independent blockchains. It enables the transfer of crypto assets, including coins/tokens, wrapped cryptocurrencies, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), across different blockchains. These bridges can vary in terms of custody arrangements, directionality (one-way or bidirectional), and compatibility with multiple chains. Various bridge protocols offer diverse features and interoperability tools.
