🔐Bridge Mechanism and Security

Smart Contracts

Trestle Protocol utilizes smart contracts to implement and manage asset bridges between the TIA and ETH network. A smart contract is deployed on ETH side that is responsible for minting and burning wTIA based on bridge interactions. wTIA cannot be minted unless TIA is deposited into the Celestial deposit address. wTIA cannot be burned without TIA being distributed out of the deposit address. This balance is managed by our listening node that tells both chains which action to perform.

Listening Nodes

Trestle utilizes listening nodes to monitor transaction statuses on TIA chain and ETH chain. These nodes are responsible for monitoring when assets are deposited into either contract and tells the opposing network contract to distribute funds.

Multi-Sig Lock

To ensure further security for our bridge, each contract deployer is backed by a multi-sig to ensure that multiple team members must approve transactions in order for any major writes to the contract get pushed.

Professional Audits

To further enhance security Trestle Protocol has collaborated with Three Sigma Labs, a security audit firm, to ensure that the bridge and token contracts have no security vulnerabilities.
