How Polkadot Native Bridges Work

Polkadot's native bridges—Snowbridge and Hyperbridge—set the standard for secure, efficient cross-chain infrastructure, built directly into Polkadot's core architecture.

Trustless by Design

Native bridges operate through Bridge Hub, using on-chain light clients to continuously verify connected networks. There’s no need to trust validators or multisigs.

Breakthrough Efficiency with BEEFY

Polkadot's BEEFY protocol enables cost-effective, scalable cross-chain verification, letting external networks like Ethereum efficiently verify Polkadot’s state.

Dive Deeper

Seamless Integration

Native bridges use XCM (Cross-Consensus Messaging)for all cross-chain communication, providing institutional-grade security and smooth asset management.
