Bridge

Summary

A bridge in blockchain technology is a protocol that connects two different blockchains to enable the transfer of assets and data between them.

Detailed Description

Blockchain bridges allow interoperability between different blockchain networks, facilitating the movement of tokens, assets, and data. This can involve swapping tokens between chains or utilizing assets from one chain on another chain without needing an intermediary. Bridges can be centralized or decentralized, with decentralized bridges typically relying on smart contracts and consensus mechanisms to operate trustlessly.
