Cosmos (ATOM) and Polkadot (DOT) have finally connected to one another thanks to a bridge MVP created by Plasm and Secret Network — the two projects based on Polkadot and Cosmos. The two projects launched the very first iteration of a bridge that connected the two ecosystems yesterday, April 13th.

Benefits of the bridge

According to their recent announcement, the bridge was launched on Plasm’s testnet, and it now allows users to quickly transfer assets from Plasm to Secret and vice versa. Furthermore, the users can also do this privately, and even use SecretSwap, which is the first AMM exchange on Secret Network.

Access to Secret Network’s privacy layer is a great boon for Plasm users. It is based on hardware, with secret nodes and validators using the trusted execution environment (TEE) to perform operations that require privacy. Meanwhile, these operations are completely untraceable, even for the nodes themselves.

For now, the Plasm team said that they are focusing on becoming one of the first Kusama parachains. As soon as this is done, they will implement the bridge on the mainnet, and make it more and more decentralized and trustless as they go along. Eventually, Plasm hopes to become the gateway that other Polkadot projects will use to reach Cosmos.

The interoperability solution with the most potential

As mentioned, the bridge — at least its current implementation — is based on Secret Network’s SecretBridge framework. It uses multisignature custody, and it has dedicated validators that are performing conversions. Of course, this is not the only bridge out there — there are plenty of projects developing their own interoperability solutions.

However, this one offers the most prevalent architecture, meaning that it has the most potential to someday become the main model for interoperability solutions. It is a light client model, where one blockchain is capable of independently evaluating transaction proofs from another blockchain. It can then make that data available to smart contracts, and remove any need for intermediaries.

The launch marks the first time that Polkadot and Cosmos are connected, and the concept could easily be expanded to include more Cosmos blockchains.

Cross-chain DEX platform Sifchain deploys Cosmos-Ethereum bridge

Sifchain, an omni-chain solution for DEXes built with the Cosmos SDK, has announced that it has successfully deployed Peggy, a Cosmos-Ethereum bridge on its Monkey Bars testnet. Sifchain is a cryptocurrency exchange protocol built on Cosmos SDK and will target 20–25 blockchains (such as Bitcoin, BinanceChain, Polkadot, Ethereum, Stellar, and EOS) for cross-chain integration.

Chorus One to Build Interoperability Bridge Between Celo and Cosmos 

Chorus One has received a grant from the Interchange Foundation and Celo, to enable it to build an interoperability bridge between Celo and Cosmos (ATOM). If all goes as planned, the project will make it possible for Cosmos to support Celo’s stablecoins, and Cosmos-based cryptoassets such as KAVA, ATOM, and BAND will also be heldRead MoreRead More.
