Bridge Trust vs Proof: Agglayer Challenges Status Quo
In a significant development for blockchain interoperability, Agglayer has challenged the prevalent 'trust-based' approach of cross-chain bridges. While most bridge protocols continue to operate on trust-based mechanisms, Agglayer advocates for a proof-based system. - Current bridge landscape relies heavily on trust - Agglayer pushes for verifiable proof mechanisms - Shift represents potential evolution in bridge security This stance marks a departure from the traditional bridge paradigm established earlier in 2025, where trust was considered sufficient. The move signals growing demand for enhanced security in cross-chain transactions. *Learn more about proof-based bridge systems: [Agglayer Documentation](https://docs.agglayer.io)*
