Bridges are interoperability protocols that enable the transfer of assets and data across different blockchain networks. By overcoming liquidity fragmentation, bridges allow for a seamless "multi-chain" user experience. In 2026, the focus has shifted toward ZK-Bridges and intent-based bridging, which prioritize security and speed over traditional "lock-and-mint" models. This tag tracks the development of omnichannel standards, cross-chain messaging, and the infrastructure connecting L1s, L2s, and modular app-chains.
