BRIDGE — A Caduceus Project

4 min readMar 21, 2023

Blockchain bridges support the ‘transfer’ of cryptocurrency coins and tokens from one blockchain ecosystem to another. They are essential tools for the interoperability of blockchain projects, since they solve the problem of apps being limited to operating in one single network.

The Caduceus ecosystem has now integrated two bridges:

Multichain Bridge — https://multichain.org/
Caduceus Bridge — https://bridge.cmpcoin.io

Executing a transfer on these bridges is the same! However, Multichain supports more tokens and chains, as the Caduceus Bridge is focused on the Caduceus ecosystem.

Description

With the release of our bridge at https://bridge.cmpcoin.io, users can bring their USDT and other assets from other chains to the Caduceus Ecosystem. The bridge also enables developers to avoid the technical headache of making their tokens cross-chain and can instead outsource it to us.

The Caduceus Bridge leverages the Multichain Anyswap V6 standard. Hence we stand on the shoulders of Multichain’s resilient Secure Multi-Party Compute (SMPC) model, which gives us a high degree of security. You can read more about this here, but effectively the private key responsible for the minting and burning of assets is partially distributed across various nodes, making it much harder to hack/discover/leak. Moreover, Multichain has processed nearly $100 billion USD in volume over 82 chains, making it one of the most reliable cross-chain bridge solutions. Using Multichain’s stable infrastructure allows us to focus on the user experience of bridging and new token onboarding, which will increase the adoption of CMP.

For our initial iteration, USDT will be the first supported asset. Users can bridge it to the Caduceus blockchain from 24 other supported chains, including: Ethereum, Binance, Gate, Velas, Polygon, Milkomeda (Algorand), Avalanche, Celo, and Cronos. We support Metamask and all other browser extensions straight out of the box. Transaction fees are cheap and will depend on the source chain and the amount sent. As the ecosystem grows, more tokens will be deployed on our bridge, so please stay tuned to hear about the latest updates and releases.

Furthermore, we have considerably lowered the technical barriers for developers who wish to deploy their cross-chain tokens onto other networks. They will no longer need to worry about technical details as we handle most of the implementation on their behalf. We deploy the bridge contracts onto the desired chains, increasing adoption and exposure. If you are interested in making your token cross-chain, fill out this form, and we will be in touch.

The future is cross-chain, so we want to ensure Caduceus stays competitive by offering users and developers a smooth and reliable cross-chain experience.

Add your token

If you want to make your token cross-chain but need help with advice, deployment and management, keep reading! We have streamlined the cross-chain deployment process so that we can easily add new tokens onto our bridge. We will:

Deploy the cross-chain contracts on all the blockchains you wish to support.
Integrate your token into our accessible front-end portal.
Monitor and manage the contracts for you or hand over the admin controls to your team.

If you are interested in going cross-chain, then fill out this form, and we will be in touch.

Description

The Multichain bridge is first-class. You can view the documentation here. However, the user experience can be a little inconvenient. Regardless, the benefit is that it has a wide range of supported tokens for many different chains. So if the Caduceus bridge does not support a specific token, it is also worth checking on the Multichain bridge.
