Chromia cross-chain capabilities
The Chromia token bridge enables seamless transfer of assets between Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains and Chromia. This cross-chain infrastructure allows Chromia dapps to integrate with the broader Ethereum ecosystem, providing enhanced interoperability for both users and developers.
Ethereum Interoperability Framework (EIF)
At the core of Chromia's cross-chain capabilities lies the Ethereum Interoperability Framework (EIF). This framework serves as the foundational infrastructure for communication between Chromia and EVM chains through two main components.
The Rell module handles the essential operations of cross-chain message processing and token bridging. It maintains state synchronization between chains, ensuring data consistency across the network.
The EVM smart contracts component manages the secure locking and unlocking of tokens. It validates transactions and controls the token release mechanisms, providing a secure bridge between different blockchain environments.
