Hello PLYRs,

We are proud to announce that our bridge is finally open and accessible at https://plyr.network/bridge/

Enjoy super cheap and fast cross-chain transactions.

Disclaimer: ZOO/vZOO to GAMR swaps are irreversible and cannot be converted back to ZOO/vZOO once swapped. Please review this process carefully.

The rapid expansion of blockchain ecosystems highlights the critical need for interoperability among diverse networks. PLYR is thrilled to introduce our new bridge, powered by Wanchain’s advanced decentralized message passing protocol. This technology ensures secure and efficient cross-chain interactions for digital assets like GAMR, USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH and more ,enhancing the gaming experience and broadening our platform’s capabilities.

PLYR GAS Airdrop

To enhance your experience with our bridge, we airdrop a small amount of PLYR to each user for their first cross-chain transaction. This initiative ensures that you can immediately start transacting on the PLYR network without worrying about initial gas costs. It’s our way of welcoming you to seamless and cost-effective blockchain interactions. Enjoy the ease of cross-chain activities with a little boost from us!

What is the Wanchain Cross-Chain Message Passing Protocol?

Wanchain’s cross-chain message passing protocol is an innovative framework designed to enable secure and efficient communication between different blockchain networks. By using decentralized nodes to verify and relay messages, this protocol facilitates the seamless transfer of assets and data across chains without central intermediaries.

How the PLYR Bridge Works

The PLYR Bridge acts as a vital link between the PLYR ecosystem and other blockchains, allowing for the transfer of assets such as ZOO to GAMR, stablecoins and more...

Here’s how it incorporates Wanchain’s technology:

1. Message Initiation:

• A transaction is initiated by a user wanting to transfer assets across chains. The PLYR Bridge encodes this request into a cross-chain message compliant with Wanchain’s protocol.

2. Decentralized Verification:

• The decentralized node network from Wanchain verifies the transaction details. This step includes ensuring that the original assets are secured in a smart contract on the source chain, thus enhancing the security of the transaction.

3. Message Relay:

• After verification, the message is relayed to the target blockchain via Wanchain’s network of Storeman nodes, which maintain the integrity and security of the transfer.

4. Asset Minting and Unlocking:

• Depending on the transaction type, corresponding assets on the target chain are either minted or unlocked, ensuring that the total supply remains constant across networks.

Custom-Built Bridge by Skilled Developers

The PLYR Bridge is a custom-built solution, meticulously crafted by our team of skilled developers. This hand-made development ensures that the bridge not only meets the high standards of functionality and security but also offers flexibility in operations. This bespoke approach reduces the costs associated with bridging assets and simplifies the process of adding new tokens to the PLYR ecosystem, enhancing our platform’s adaptability and user-friendliness.

Enhanced Security Through Avalanche’s Teleporter

In addition to the robust security measures provided by Wanchain, cross-chain transactions through Avalanche subnets will be further secured by Avalanche’s Teleporter technology. Teleporter is designed to make Avalanche a fully interoperable L0 network, ensuring that asset transfers are not only swift and efficient but also secure at every step of the process. For more information on how Teleporter enhances our platform’s security, please visit: Avalanche’s Teleporter Blog.

UX CONCEPT

Conclusion

Integrating Wanchain’s cross-chain message passing protocol into the PLYR Bridge represents a major advancement in our commitment to improving user experience and fostering interoperability within the blockchain gaming sector. This technology will streamline asset transfers, enhance security, and open up new opportunities for developers and gamers alike.

Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to enhance our platform and explore innovative avenues in blockchain gaming.
