Welcome

TokenBridge provides data and token transfer capabilities across EVM chains

The TokenBridge allows users to transfer data (e.g. digital asset ownership information) between two chains in the Ethereum ecosystem. Cross-chain bridges provide fast and secure connections between blockchains, creating scalability and connection - interoperability - between Ethereum networks.

TokenBridge docs are organized in the sidebar menu.

  1. About TokenBridge: General info and details about the implementation, including a link to the monorepo at https://github.com/poanetwork/tokenbridge

  2. Arbitrary Message Bridge (AMB): A bridge designed for universal cross-chain data transfer. Includes parameters, how-tos and examples.

  3. Bridge-by-bridge details. Each section includes technical and connection details as well as links to examples and use-cases.

    1. xDai Bridge: ERC20-to-Native TokenBridge implementation on the Gnosis Chain.

    2. ETH-xDai AMB: AMB between Ethereum and GC, includes the Multi-token bridge extension.

    3. Rinkeby-xDai AMB: AMB between Rinkeby testnet and xDai. Used for xMOON projects.

    4. Kovan-Sokol AMB: Useful for testing applications and extensions.

    5. ETH-POA AMB: AMB between Ethereum mainnet and POA Network.

    6. ETH-ETC AMB: AMB between Ethereum Mainnet and Ethereum Classic. Used to create WETC on Ethereum.

    7. ETH-qDai AMB: Bridge between the experimental Quorum chain and the Ethereum Mainnet.

    8. ETH-BNC Bridge: combines the TokenBridge + a Threshold Signature Scheme approach to bridge between Ethereum and Binance Chain.

Production asset-transfer bridges

The following bridges are fully-functional in production environments:

  • POA Bridge (POA network to Eth Mainnet):The POA Bridge was the first EVM cross-chain production bridge in existence.

  • xDai Bridge (Eth Mainnet to Gnosis Chain): The Gnosis chain uses the ERC20-to-Native TokenBridge functionality to provide fast, inexpensive and stable transactions.

  • Eth Classic Bridge (Eth Classic to Eth Mainnet): The Eth Classic Bridge connects ETC to ETH, where ETC is available as WETC.
