Native IBC & Universal Bridge
Native IBC &
Universal Bridge
Seamlessly connect BitNetChain to 23+ IBC chains and 110+ additional networks through protocol-native IBC and the Universal Bridge.
Native IBC support for direct connectivity within the Cosmos-style ecosystem.
Universal Bridge extends reach far beyond IBC-enabled chains.
Interact with Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, and other leading networks for assets and liquidity.
How is this safer than traditional bridges?
Traditional bridges often depend on centralized custody or small multi-sigs. BitNetChain's approach uses IBC light clients, Merkle proofs, and on-chain verification so destination chains can validate packets directly against source-chain consensus, reducing reliance on external bridge operators.
How fast are transfers between chains?
Transfers complete within the combined finality windows of the source and destination chains. With batching and multi-relayer routing, most IBC transfers typically finalize in under a minute for connected networks.
Can I build applications that span multiple chains at once?
Yes. Contracts on BitNetChain can initiate IBC transfers, react to cross-chain events, and coordinate flows that touch multiple networks, enabling truly multi-chain dApps and cross-chain DeFi strategies.
Do users need to understand IBC channels or relayers?
No. Wallets and dApps abstract IBC routing, channels, and relayers. Users just initiate transfers or actions; packets, proofs, and acknowledgments are handled under the hood.
What is the role of the Universal Bridge if IBC is native?
IBC connects BitNetChain to IBC-enabled chains directly. The Universal Bridge extends interoperability to non-IBC networks using light-client verification plus a hardened multi-sig layer, covering 23+ direct chains and 110+ additional blockchains from a single hub.
A Layer 1 blockchain for scalable, secure, and programmable networks.
