Phase I: Security-first cross-chain transfers
Bridge Architecture
Lock-and-Mint
Assets locked on source chain, minted on destination
N-of-M Signers
Multi-signature security with distributed key holders
Strict Caps
Per-transaction and daily transfer limits
Circuit Breakers
Emergency pause with timelock recovery
How It Works
The Inception Bridge uses a lock-and-mint architecture with an N-of-M signer set to secure cross-chain asset transfers.
Strict per-transaction and daily caps limit exposure. Circuit-breakers provide emergency pause requiring multisig + on-chain notice, with unpause via timelock.
Exact caps and maintenance windows are posted on /status.
