Current bridges often rely on centralized components and cryptographic systems that introduce single points of failure. When these bridges are compromised, user funds are immediately at risk. Instead of addressing the root causes, the industry has focused on increasingly complex solutions that only add more attack vectors. This approach has not solved the fundamental security flaws.
While some argue that Ethereum's programmability makes it better suited for cross-chain activity, its complexity has led to numerous vulnerabilities, particularly in Ethereum-based bridges and Layer 2 solutions.
By anchoring cross-chain tunnels to Bitcoin's blockchain through mechanisms like Proof-of-Proof (PoP), we can create a system that inherits Bitcoin's resistance to attacks without modifying its core protocol.
This approach could enable secure, trustless asset transfers by using Bitcoin scripts and covenants for locking and unlocking assets across chains. While Bitcoin's scripting language may be limited, it has been rigorously tested and remains a reliable foundation.
