A multi-chain asset is a digital token or cryptocurrency that exists and is usable across several distinct blockchain networks. This is achieved through various bridging mechanisms that lock the asset on one chain and issue a wrapped or equivalent version on another. Such assets enhance liquidity and utility by enabling participation in diverse decentralized finance ecosystems.
Context

Challenges persist regarding the security of cross-chain bridges and the standardization of asset representations across networks. Future advancements will focus on more secure and seamless interoperability solutions for these distributed assets.
