Bridged assets are digital tokens that have been moved from one blockchain network to another. This process typically involves locking the original asset on its native chain and minting a synthetic representation on the destination chain. These synthetic tokens then facilitate interoperability and access to services across different distributed ledgers.
Context
The present discussion regarding bridged assets frequently involves concerns about their security and the centralization risks associated with the bridging mechanisms. A key debate revolves around the collateralization models and the potential for de-pegging events. Future developments to watch include advancements in cross-chain communication protocols that aim to enhance security and decentralization.
