  • Publication number: 20250335906
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for cross-chain communication in a blockchain platform. Various aspects may include accepting, at a first blockchain, a first transaction including a message and a message payload. Aspects may also include validating, at the first blockchain, the message by signing the message using signature keys of one or more validators in a first set of validators of the first blockchain. Aspects may also include generating an aggregate signature based on the signature keys of the one or more validators in a first set of validators. Aspects may also include submitting a second transaction on to a second blockchain, the second transaction including the message and the aggregate signature. Aspects may include validating, at the second blockchain, the second transaction based on a shared registry.

  • Publication number: 20250069064
    Abstract: Various aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and machine-readable media for bridging native tokens. Various aspects may include initializing a first blockchain by allocating a plurality of native tokens. Aspects may also include transferring, using a bridge, one or more transactions from a second blockchain to the first blockchain using locked tokens on the second blockchain as collateral. Aspects may also include minting new native tokens at the first blockchain when a value of transactions sum to the plurality of native tokens and the plurality of native tokens are backed by the locked tokens. Aspects may also include reporting, to the second blockchain, the amount of tokens used for the transaction fees in the one or more transactions. Aspects may also include burning, at the second blockchain, tokens corresponding to the amount of tokens used for paying transaction fees.
