Heard you wanted an update on the status of bridges in the Mina Protocol ecosystem, check it out 👇

Aligned State Bridge

@alignedlayer verifies different kinds of proofs on Ethereum, while improving verification speed and costs. Soon, this will include verifying Mina’s Kimchi proofs on Ethereum, enabling a powerful Mina → Ethereum state bridge (using @class_lambda bridge work).

The Kimchi proof verifier for Aligned is feature-complete, and @MinaFoundation has kicked off a security audit with @hackenclub.

Ethereum ←→ Mina Token Bridge

Different from the state bridge enabled by Aligned, Mina Bridge will be a centralized token bridge for bringing ETH liquidity to Mina. The first version will support bridging wrapped ETH, with ERC20 tokens to be added after launch.

A security audit by @zellic_io began in December. Mina Bridge is expected to launch on mainnet shortly after the audit concludes and any relevant fixes have been implemented.
