Cross-chain and Supply Mirror of $BMT : Why Can the OFT Framework Reduce Governance and Compliance Risks to Research Level?
When governance tokens circulate across multiple chains, the biggest concern is the emergence of 'shadow supply' and bridging trust risks. $BMT chooses to implement LayerZero OFT to maintain a 1:1 supply mirror, ensuring that governance and incentives are consistent and auditable across any ecosystem.
1. The Supply Mirror of OFT
When users transfer from Solana to BNB Chain, the supply is destroyed on the Solana side and minted on the BNB side in the same amount; the reverse operation is also true. This differs from 'wrapping assets on the bridge' as it does not create a separate ledger on the bridge, reducing the systemic risks of cross-chain assets. For the governors of Intel Desk, this means that the sole truth of voting and incentive settlement is clearer.
2. User Experience in Cross-Chain
BMT exists concurrently on SPL/BEP-20, allowing users to hold and participate directly in a familiar ecosystem. For researchers or contributors, regardless of which chain they submit topics and evidence on, they can equally obtain permissions and rewards, reducing participation friction.
3. Compliance and Audit Friendly
A single supply mirror and public contracts make it easier for auditors to verify circulation, lockup, unlocking, and repurchase; for exchanges and institutions, this reduces the cost of data alignment in listing and risk assessment. The frontend further embeds research results into decision-making processes, forming a transparent chain from 'supply truth → research → trading'.
Cross-chain is not a gimmick but an infrastructure choice that spreads governance to more users. OFT enables BMT to maintain supply discipline during multi-chain expansion, further strengthening the governance and incentive cycle of Intel Desk.
