ZK Bridge Architecture: Common Questions
Answers to the most frequent questions from CTOs and technical leads evaluating ZK cross-chain bridge architecture partners.
Our engagement follows a structured 4-phase approach: 1) Discovery & Scoping (1 week): We analyze your requirements, target chains, and traffic patterns. 2) Architecture Design (1-2 weeks): We deliver a detailed technical spec, including ZK circuit design and economic model. 3) Development & Audit (3-6 weeks): Our team builds and internally audits the core bridge components. 4) Deployment & Handoff (1-2 weeks): We assist with mainnet deployment and provide comprehensive documentation. A typical end-to-end project takes 6-10 weeks.
