# Bridging Mechanism

Solaxy is built with interoperability in mind. One of its key features is the ability to **bridge assets and data across multiple blockchains**, enabling seamless liquidity flow between Solaxy, Solana, and Ethereum networks.

To achieve this, Solaxy integrates with **Hyperlane**, a modular, permissionless interoperability protocol.

***

#### How the Solaxy Bridge Works?

Solaxy’s bridging system enables users to transfer native assets between chains.

Here’s how the process works at a high level:

1. **Lock** assets on the source chain (e.g., Solana).
2. **Message** is passed via Hyperlane, a trust-minimized relayer protocol.
3. **Mint or release** equivalent assets on the destination chain (e.g., Solaxy).
4. Users can **redeem** and return assets in reverse with full transparency.

This enables:

* Native asset transfers
* Cross-chain protocol interaction
* Composability across ecosystems

***

#### Powered by Hyperlane

Hyperlane brings several key benefits to Solaxy’s bridge system:

* **Permissionless**: Any application can integrate with the bridge.
* **Modular**: Supports new chains and messaging logic without refactoring.
* **Secure**: Validator set is fully configurable.

***

Solaxy’s bridge is more than just a connector - it’s a core piece of cross-chain infrastructure designed for scale, security, and composability.
