Multi-Bridge
Unified Bridging and Flexible Consensus for Cross-Chain Transfers
Lucid’s Multi-Bridge is the first bridging infrastructure to unify all major cross-chain bridges under one cohesive system. Any asset — from Nebula’s L-USDC/L-USDT to native assets, RWAs, or Bitcoin-fi — can be routed across the full spectrum of leading bridges with a single integration. This eliminates bridge lock-in and gives ecosystems complete flexibility in how they move assets across chains.
Two Modes of Operation
Multi-Bridge Consensus Mode: For high-value, institutional transfers, projects can require agreement from multiple bridges before execution. Thresholds such as 2-of-3 or 3-of-5 ensure that a transfer only finalizes when multiple independent bridges verify the message, providing maximum security and redundancy.
Bridge Portals Mode: For everyday users and general-purpose transfers, assets can be sent through any of Lucid’s activated bridges. This enables fast, low-cost routing through the best available path without needing consensus.
Fast Asset Onboarding
Adding a new asset to Multi-Bridge takes only minutes. Once activated, it becomes transferable across all supported bridges and chains, giving projects the ability to choose between speed-focused single-bridge routing or high-assurance multi-bridge consensus at any time.
Unified Token Standard Support
Multi-Bridge is built on Lucid’s extended xERC20 framework, which supports all major Ethereum-native mint/burn standards, including NTT (Wormhole), CCT (Chainlink), ITS (Axelar), IERC-7802 variants, xERC20, and any custom token that exposes mint/burn permissions. This removes the need for wrappers or bridge-specific logic and allows assets to move consistently across chains.
Integrated Liquidity Infrastructure
Nebula’s yield-generating L-USDC and L-USDT operate natively within Multi-Bridge, enabling canonical stablecoins that can move freely across all supported bridges. Alongside Vested Emission Offerings (VEOs) for on-chain OTC and liquidity bootstrapping, Lucid provides a vertically integrated liquidity layer that lets ecosystems move, manage, and monetise liquidity through a single cross-chain platform.
The Multi-Bridge module in Lucid comprises three key components, each catering to a specific use case:
Multi-Bridge Asset Transfers: This component enables secure and seamless token transfers across multiple blockchains. Users can transfer tokens from one chain to another via a unified interface that supports multiple bridges. It is executed outside of Lucid.
Multi-Bridge Message Transfers: The Message Transfers feature facilitates cross-chain communication, enabling contracts on different blockchains to interact with each other. This is especially useful for governance, updates, or other inter-chain contract operations. It is executed outside of Lucid.
Bridge Portals: Bridge Portals function similarly to Multi-Bridge Asset Transfers, but the entire process is seamlessly executed within the Lucid platform. Lucid’s Bridge Portals module is the only xERC20 bridge aggregator that helps users discover the fastest and most cost-effective routes for cross-chain asset transfers. It ensures secure, seamless, and highly efficient transactions across multiple ecosystems. It is executed within Lucid.
