An Introduction to Binance Bridge
Currently, there is a bit of an issue in the crypto space. Different blockchains can’t really talk to each other. If you make a Bitcoin transaction, the Ethereum blockchain won’t be able to know that it happened. If we zoom out a little bit and look into the future, this problem will likely be solved somehow with new technology. However, a much faster solution that is already available now.
Wrapped tokens let you use coins and tokens native to other blockchains as tokens on a different chain, such as Binance Smart Chain. We’ve already seen how this can work with tokenised BTC on Ethereum. The Binance Bridge Project introduces this concept to Binance Chain and Binance Smart chain.What is the Binance Bridge Project?
increase interoperability between different blockchains. It essentially lets anyone convert selected coins into wrapped tokens (or “pegged tokens”) to be used on Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain. This brings digital assets such as BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP, LINK, ATOM, DOT, XTZ, ONT, and more to the Binance Chain ecosystem.By using the Binance bridge protocol, you can access cross-chain liquidity on Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain with just a few clicks.How does the Binance Bridge Project work? the BinanceBridge service, you can convert cryptoassets between the native blockchain and Binance Chain/Binance Smart Chain. For example, if you transfer USDT from Ethereum to Binance Smart Chain, Binance Bridge will support the cross-chain conversion of Ethereum ERC-20 to Binance BEP-2 or BEP-20. It’s worth noting that these wrapped coins are backed by real coins and tokens on public addresses.Currently, the Binance Bridge Project supports ERC-20 and TRC-20 cross-chain transfers. As you may already know, ERC-20 is a widely popular token standard on Ethereum. TRC-20 is a similar standard for the TRON network. and TRC-20 cross-chain transfers. As you may already know, ERC-20 is a widely popular token standard on Ethereum. TRC-20 is a similar standard for the TRON network.
