A secure and seamless infrastructure for cross-chain asset and data transfers, empowering the next generation of decentralized applications.
At its core, deBridge is a decentralized protocol and infrastructure platform designed to facilitate secure and reliable value transfer across various blockchains. Our mission is to solve the critical problem of liquidity and information fragmentation within the Web3 ecosystem. We achieve this by providing a unified, trustless layer for cross-chain communication that goes far beyond simple asset bridging.
Unlike traditional centralized bridges or those with a high-trust model, deBridge leverages a **Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT)** network of validators to verify and finalize transactions. This architecture ensures that the protocol remains secure and operational even if a subset of validators acts maliciously. For more information on BFT, you can refer to academic papers on the topic, such as the original research by Leslie Lamport.
Security is the foundation of deBridge. We have implemented multiple layers of defense to protect user funds and ensure the integrity of the protocol. Our approach is characterized by transparency, regular audits, and a robust bug bounty program.
The protocol's smart contracts have undergone rigorous third-party audits by leading firms in the blockchain security space. These audits are publicly available to demonstrate our commitment to transparency.
We also actively engage with the security community through our **Bug Bounty Program** hosted on **Immunefi**, a platform trusted by the Web3 community. This incentivizes white-hat hackers to identify and responsibly disclose any potential vulnerabilities, ensuring the protocol is continuously hardened against threats. Immunefi is an industry-leading bug bounty platform for Web3 projects.
deBridge is built to be a versatile tool for both users and developers. Its capabilities extend far beyond simple token swaps.
This is a core feature of deBridge. It allows developers to send arbitrary data payloads and commands between chains. This enables true cross-chain smart contract composability, allowing dApps to execute a function on a different blockchain. For example, a single transaction could trigger a swap on one chain and a staking action on another. For technical details, please refer to our official documentation.
Our unique liquidity model allows users to provide capital to the protocol to earn a share of transaction fees. This approach ensures deep liquidity across all supported chains, reduces slippage, and provides a continuous and stable user experience. Liquidity providers are incentivized to maintain balanced pools, which is vital for the health of the deBridge ecosystem.
Unlike many other bridges that rely on a 'lock-and-mint' model, deBridge uses a different approach for asset transfers. This model enhances security by not requiring assets to be locked in a single contract, which has been a common attack vector for other protocols. Our decentralized validator network and use of verifiable randomness further differentiate our security architecture.
deBridge is designed to be a multi-chain protocol. The current list of supported networks includes Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Solana, and more. Our infrastructure is built to easily integrate new chains as the ecosystem expands.
Yes. deBridge is a generic messaging and interoperability protocol. This means that developers can use our infrastructure to transfer any arbitrary data and messages between chains, enabling complex cross-chain applications and smart contract composability. This functionality goes beyond simple token bridging.
The network operates on a proof-of-stake model. Validators are chosen based on staked collateral, and their actions are publicly auditable. Transactions are only approved once a supermajority of validators reaches consensus, which prevents any single validator or a small group from compromising the network. This provides a high level of security and trustlessness.
