Is bridging assets between chains real or just smoke and mirrors? Join Ellie Davidson and Alysia Tech as they dive deep into the fascinating mechanics and philosophical questions around cross-chain bridging.
Key topics covered:
- The difference between "real" asset movement vs locking and minting wrapped tokens
- Why bridging L1 to L2 is faster than L2 to L1, and the role of finality
- Native vs wrapped assets: exploring USDT0 and other approaches
- How traditional finance parallels help us understand bridge security models
- Block confirmations and the tradeoffs between speed and security
- The future of bridging in a world where chains are synchronously composable
Whether you're a developer in web3 or just curious about how assets move between chains, this episode breaks down complex concepts into digestible insights about the current state and future of cross-chain interop.
