PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our Development & Integration Process
A structured, security-first approach to implementing cross-chain arbitration, designed for rapid deployment and enterprise-grade reliability.
01
Architecture & Protocol Design
We design a custom arbitration logic layer tailored to your bridge's specific threat model and token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721). This includes defining dispute resolution rules, validator incentive structures, and slashing conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on how our arbitration service secures your bridge and resolves disputes.
Our service provides a decentralized, automated dispute resolution layer for cross-chain bridges. We deploy and manage a network of off-chain watchers and on-chain verifiers that continuously monitor bridge transactions. When a discrepancy is detected—such as a mismatch between source and destination chain states or a suspected malicious withdrawal—our system triggers a challenge period and executes a predefined resolution protocol based on cryptographic proofs, ensuring funds are protected and valid transactions are finalized.
