BLEEP Connect · Cross-Chain Interoperability

Four tiers.
No privileged operator, ever.

A four-tier cross-chain bridge implemented across ten sub-crates within bleep-interop. No tier requires a permanently privileged operator or a trusted multisig key set — trust is earned by economics, cryptography, consensus, or governance, depending on the tier.

The Trust Ladder

Faster tiers trust economics.
Slower tiers trust consensus.

Latency and security basis trade off deliberately by tier — a user or protocol chooses the tier that matches its risk tolerance and time budget.

TIER 4

Instant

Executor auction + escrow. Security: economic — 30% bond slashed on timeout. Protocol fee 10 bps. Auction window 15s, execution timeout 120s.

TIER 3

ZK Proof

SPHINCS+-bound STARK commitment. Security: cryptographic — PQ-secure, zero trusted operators. Batches up to 32 intents per proof.

Live · Sepolia
TIER 2

Full-Node

Multi-client verification across ≥3 independent nodes. Security: 90% consensus threshold across independent implementations.

Mainnet Target
TIER 1

Social

Stakeholder governance. Security: full governance consensus — the backstop tier for maximum-value transfers.

Tier 3 — ZK Proof Bridge, In Detail

From intent to STARK commitment

01 · BATCH

Intent Pool

Up to 32 cross-chain intents batched into a single proof bundle.

02 · TRANSCRIPT

ProofGenerator

Constructs a deterministic transcript from the batch.

03 · BIND

SPHINCS+ Signature

The transcript is bound with a post-quantum signature.

04 · PROVE

Winterfell Commitment

A STARK commitment is generated — no SRS, no MPC ceremony.

05 · VERIFY

ProofVerifier

Verifies using the PQ public key. Double-spend blocked by GlobalNullifierSet with atomic WriteBatch.

Chain Adapters

Registered at boot.
Extended by governance.

Additional chains activate through a governance vote — no unilateral operator can add or remove a route.
