How Chain Fusion Works

Unlike traditional bridges that lock assets on one chain and mint wrapped tokens on another, Chain Fusion enables direct interaction with multiple blockchains from a single smart contract.

Key Benefits:

  • No wrapped tokens or bridge contracts
  • Assets remain on native chains
  • Single unified balance across chains
  • Reduced smart contract risk

Deposit Flow

Withdrawal Flow

Bitcoin

Bitcoin integration uses ckBTC and threshold ECDSA signatures.

Features:

  • Native BTC deposits (no wrapping required)
  • SegWit addresses (lower fees)
  • 6 confirmation requirement for security
  • Dynamic fee estimation

Deposit Process:

  1. User receives a unique BTC address
  2. User sends BTC to the address
  3. After 6 confirmations, balance is credited
  4. Funds are available for trading

Solana

Solana integration uses HTTPS outcalls and Ed25519 threshold signatures.

Features:

  • Fast finality (~400ms)
  • SOL and SPL token support
  • Priority fees during congestion
  • Automatic token account creation

Deposit Process:

  1. User receives a unique Solana address
  2. User sends SOL or SPL tokens
  3. Transaction confirmed in seconds
  4. Balance immediately available

ICP Native

Native ICP integration with ICRC token standards.

Features:

  • Instant finality
  • ICRC-1/ICRC-2 token support
  • No external dependencies
  • ckBTC, ckETH support

Security

All blockchain interactions use threshold cryptography:

  • No single point of failure - Keys are distributed across ICP nodes
  • Decentralized signing - Transactions require consensus
  • Auditable - All operations recorded on-chain
