Snowbridge
Snowbridge is a trustless Ethereum-Polkadot bridge that uses on-chain light clients and OpenGov instead of multisig committees.
What is Snowbridge?
Snowbridge connects Ethereum and the Polkadot Hub using on-chain light clients that exchange cryptographic finality proofs, removing the need for trusted multisig committees. Users can move ERC-20 tokens and Polkadot native assets in both directions, send arbitrary cross-chain messages, and call contracts across networks. Built as part of the Polkadot SDK, governed entirely through OpenGov, funded by the Polkadot Treasury, with no native token and a $40k+ active bug bounty.
