"⚠ The Security Problem These mechanisms create massive vulnerabilities: Centralization Risks: Many bridges rely on a small set of validators to confirm cross-chain messages. Compromise those validators compromise the bridge. Honeypot Effect: Bridges lock enormous amounts of value in a few contracts across just two blockchains. High reward + expanded attack surface = prime target for hackers"

"Smart Contract Bugs: The Wormhole hack (2022): Attackers exploited buggy signature verification code to mint 120000 ETH ($320M) out of thin air. The code failed to properly validate messages between chains. The Nomad Bridge hack ($190M) happened because of a single configuration error that made the bridge automatically trust all messages as valid"

"@0xAndrewMoh @ArchNtwrk Okay now that sounds revolutionary. Bitcoin can have more value than just being the liquid gold of crypto"

"Most people in web3 think cross-chain bridges actually move tokens between blockchains. They don't. Without mechanisms like lock-and-mint and burn-and-mint blockchains would remain isolated islands that can't communicate. Today I'm breaking down how bridges really "move" tokens between chains"

"🔒 Lock-and-Mint When you bridge $50k worth of ETH from Ethereum to a chain like 0G here's what actually happens: X. Your ETH gets locked in a smart contract on Ethereum (it never leaves) X. Event listeners confirm the lock on the source chain X. The bridge communicates with 0G to mint an equivalent wrapped token X. The wrapped token is deposited to your address on 0G Your original ETH sits in a vault. What you receive is essentially a receipt that works on the new chain. Popular bridges like Stargate Avalanche Bridge and Polygon PoS Bridge use this mechanism to move billions in assets daily"

"🔥 Burn-and-Mint Instead of locking some bridges burn your tokens on the source chain (making them permanently inaccessible) then mint the equivalent as a wrapped version on the destination chain. Example: Across Protocol uses this mechanism for certain token transfers"

"The solution: OFTs (Omnichain Fungible Tokens) from LayerZero let token issuers deploy native tokens on each chain xERC20 allows bridges to mint from issuer-controlled contracts with rate limits Instead of bridges controlling wrapped versions token issuers maintain control while bridges get minting rights"

"@bkiepuszewski @RelayProtocol I believe we haven't reached that level of fully decentralized singularity. Relay can still be tolerated because they have an appeal to users"

"@rookie_of_Ph @LayerZero_Core @ryanzarick I love that Layer Zero still upholds what differentiates them from other interop protocols across all chains"
