Abstract: A system described herein may receive a request to bridge an asset from a first distributed ledger to a second distributed ledger. The system may record, to the first distributed ledger, information indicating that the asset is frozen. The first distributed ledger may maintain information indicating that the frozen asset remains associated with an owner of the asset. The system may record, to the second distributed ledger, a bridged version of the asset, and may link the asset to the bridged asset. The system may identify a transfer of the bridged version of the asset to a second owner, and record, to the first distributed ledger and based on the linking of the asset to the bridged asset, information disassociating the first owner from the asset.
