Bridge

A blockchain bridge is a protocol that facilitates the transfer of assets and data between two disparate blockchain networks. These networks, often built with different consensus mechanisms, programming languages, and architectural designs, are inherently siloed and unable to communicate natively. Bridges address this critical interoperability challenge, enabling the seamless flow of value and information that is crucial for the continued growth and interconnectedness of the decentralized ecosystem, particularly within Decentralized Finance (DeFi).
