🌉 Bridges With Slashing: The New Cross-Chain Trust Model
Most bridges rely on multisigs or oracles. BounceBit takes a bolder route — staking-secured, zk-verified messaging.
Planned for Q1 2025, its zkBridge + messaging layer will:
Use validator consensus to approve cross-chain proofs
Enforce slashing on BTC + BB if proofs are manipulated
Connect with zkSync, LayerZero, Caldera, and AltLayer
This approach fuses cryptographic integrity with capital at stake — a rare combination in cross-chain design.
Rather than subsidizing security with inflation, BounceBit charges validators real risk for securing liquidity flows.
In cross-chain communication, trust isn’t given. It’s staked.
