Project Description

Presentation and solution description: https://hackmd.io/IZ0ta7_UQ1GUYl4WI__aKQ?view

We propose a bridge message standard to be applied across different bridges and chains. For a proof of concept we:

  • bridge Toucan protocol (deployed on Polygon) TCO2 tokens with Regen Eco Credits

  • using a bridge controller smart contract to connect with a Axelar bridge service connecting Polygon and Regen Ledger

  • Regen Ledger as a Cosmos SDK with it's own token registry.

Code:

  • https://github.com/regen-network/toucan-the-bridge: Bridge controller implementing The Bridge Message Standard

  • https://github.com/robert-zaremba/ethamsterdam-the-bridge: fork of Regen Ledger (Cosmos SDK chain) with:

    regen-ledger code diff: https://github.com/robert-zaremba/ethamsterdam-the-bridge/compare/regen-master...master

The solution can be also applied to any smart contract chain or Layer-2 (Evmos, Optimism, Juno, Agoric, Solana ....).

How it's Made

Details about the solution: https://hackmd.io/IZ0ta7_UQ1GUYl4WI__aKQ?view

Summary:

  • we define a Message Protocol for Blockchain bridges.

  • we implement it on Polygon using Solidity and Cosmos SDK (in Regen Ledger)

  • we use Axelar as a transport (bridge) layer

  • we utilize Axelar callContract functionality to send messages between EVM chains

  • we utilize Interchain Accounts for recording message in Cosmos Chains.
