how does it work?

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

VEA is a trust-minimized optimistically-verified bridge with bonded participants, known as the validators, running a light client to fulfill the roles of oracle, challenger and relayer.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

As opposed to other implementations that connect every bridge contract with each other using an off-chain routing network, each VEA bridge is composed of a logical pair of contracts (1-to-1 for each connection).

what if a validator is malicious?

In the worst case scenario, VEA just falls back to the native bridge. No risk of losing funds.

features

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

trust-minimized

VEA has the same trust model as Optimistic Rollups, requires only 1 of N parties to be honest. There is no 3rd party validator.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

no back door

Unlike most bridges, there is no multi-sign admin access.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

immutable

Contracts are not upgradable.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

generalized

Arbitrary message passing between EVM chains.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

no whitelist

Interacting with the protocol is permissionless at every level.

how to participate?

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

users

Bridge your messages for free, no fees, pay only for gas.

use cases

Cross-chain governance voting and proposal execution.

For high-value transactions with high security requirements.

Transactions from optimistic rollups requiring a faster bridging than the default 7 days.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

become a validator (soon!)

The validators deposit a stake to bridge each message batch and pay for the transaction gas. The deposit is returned to honest validators. The validators may receive various incentives in a future version.

VeA is launching soon, stay in touch!
