Cross chain / Multichain Bridges Development
Have you ever felt the time-consuming transactions that’s happening in bitcoin or Ethereum blockchains? This is due to the monopolization of single blockchains ruling the entire cryptocurrency investments. To improvise the interoperability and minimize transaction time in every blockchain, a cross-chain bridge was found. Let’s decode what is a cross-chain bridge, what are their advantages, applications of cross-chain bridges and who can do cross-chain bridging.
What is a cross-chain bridge?
Cross-chain bridge is the integration made between the two blockchain protocols to facilitate the transfer of digital assets or data. Because, every blockchain has a set of protocols, rules, and governance to regulate the ecosystem behind it. No one can change blockchain protocols easily. That’s the reason Blockchain cross bridging is here.
The bridging process is invented mainly to reduce the transaction time delay, minimize the network bandwidth, reduce gas fees, increase the use-cases. Cross-chain rectifies all the real-time problems faced in blockchain consensus.
Advantages of Cross chain bridge development
1. High speed transaction
Most of the dApps are experiencing poor transaction time due to the high population of dApps operating on ethereum blockchain. The bottleneck of transactions gives the users a hefty time limit to do the single transaction. When implementing this cross-chain bridge, users can freely transact on the less used blockchains which enables high speed transactions. The bridging helps the two seperate blockchain economies to connect with each other without disturbing the protocols.
2. Reduced network usage
Heavy population of users on the single blockchain network causes the hindrance. The reason is due to the large number of decentralized applications that are built on the same network. Users rely on the single chain and actively participate in the same network again and again. This reduces the network speed and efficiency. Cross-chain bridge eliminates the need to rely on a single blockchain and enables crossflow of participation.
3. Wide interaction
The investors need a wide range of opportunities to get involved in choosing the right investment path. Defi coupled with cross-chain bridging can allow the investors to access thousands of dApps that are available in different blockchains. After the invention of the cross-chain bridge, entrepreneurs feel confident to execute their web3 idea and the defi is booming amidst all the crypto ups and downs.
4. Interoperability
Without blockchain’s interoperability nature, things like defi, NFT, Blockchain gaming would not be possible. The bridge solution has only the capacity to permit the interoperable standards in all blockchains. Whether you are moving your assets from bitcoin to ethereum or investing in NFT with ethereum, solana or any other chains.
5. Scalable
When adding more user load in the specific blockchain, scalability becomes the main problem. The blockchain network which is booming in the market can’t handle huge loads of data suddenly. To mitigate this risk of being loaded, cross-chain bridge can help and reduce the scalability problems.
Applications of Cross-chain Bridge
The use cases of cross-chain bridges have been phenomenal. You can build dApps like,
Cross-chain NFT marketplace
Cross-chain NFT marketplace is the NFT buy/sell platform where users are allowed to exchange NFT for the blockchain network they wish for. The polygon based NFT marketplace took the mainstream only because of its low gas fees. When a cross-chain NFT marketplace is in place, the NFT community can experience a whole new ecosystem that eliminates all the real-time gas fee problems.
Cross-chain crypto lending platform
Similar to the NFT marketplace, crypto lending platform is the place where crypto lenders and borrowers interact with each other for mutual benefits. The lender gets interest for the period of time and borrowers are lured with opportunities to invest in other crypto assets for multiplying their portfolio. lending platforms don’t have the limitations for its users due to different blockchain constraints. Cross-chain interoperability gives the ability to handle crypto loans
Cross-chain wallet
Cross-chain wallet is the decentralized crypto wallet that is engineered to handle any crypto transactions outside of specific blockchain ecosystems. The standard crypto wallet is capable of allowing a minimum number of cryptocurrencies that are derived from respective blockchains. But the cross-chain wallet has unlimited options to hold and store your cryptocurrency with a single key. There is no need to swap between each blockchain wallet for every transaction.
Cross-chain DEX
Cross-chain DEX is the decentralized exchange where traders are trading/exchanging their cryptos across different blockchain networks for the best price in the market. The atomic swaps, Automated market maker, and DEX aggregators are the common mechanisms followed in the cross-chain DEX. It adds the best user experience since all the blockchain networks are combined with interoperability transfer protocol. Users don’t need to switch wallets or exchanges for swapping their cryptos.
