Bridge
MarketsDefinition
Smart-contract infrastructure that moves tokens between blockchains. Allows USDC on Ethereum to become USDC on Solana, or wraps Bitcoin into wBTC for use in DeFi.
Bridges have been the single biggest source of crypto exploits — Ronin ($625M), Nomad ($190M), Wormhole ($320M), Multichain ($231M). Trust-minimized bridges (Cosmos IBC, native cross-chain) more secure than centralized custody bridges.
