Trustless Bridging

Definition

Trustless bridging refers to mechanisms that allow assets and data to be transferred between different blockchain networks without requiring users to rely on a centralized third party. These bridges use cryptographic proofs and smart contracts to ensure the integrity and security of cross-chain transfers. The design minimizes the need for reliance on external custodians or validators. This approach enhances decentralization and reduces single points of failure.
