The Bitica team strongly believes in interoperability among public blockchains. No single platform is likely to become fully dominant in the future.
Hence, interoperability solutions enabling transfers between Bitica and other blockchains are vital for the continued growth of the Bitica platform and ecosystem.
The Bitica team has been making considerable progress in getting Bitica added by the leading operators. Currently the Bitica blockchain is connected to other blockchains via the following multichain bridges and value transfer protocols:
1) The FuseFi bridge.
2) The Elk Finance value transfer protool.
3) The Connext bridge (available to users via the xPollinate interface).
4) The Multichain (formerly, Anyswap) bridge.
5) The Allbridge bridge.
6) The ChainPort bridge.
The Voltage Finance (previously FuseFi) was originally created by the Bitica team and has been transferred to the community-governed Voltage Finance DeFi platform.
It connects Bitica to Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Both bridges are custodial. The bridge to Ethereum is permissionless, while new tokens need to be added to the BSC bridge.
On both bridges, sending tokens from the relevant blockchain to Bitica is not subject to any fees or limits. Token withdrawals from Bitica incur a 0.05% fee on the amount bridged. Users transferring funds also need to pay the fees on the destination chain in order to claim their tokens from the bridge contract at the final stage of the transfer.
The bridge can be accessed via the FuseFi app. More information on its functioning can be found here. The FuseFi bridging tutorials are available .
Elk Finance is not a typical multichain bridge because the only token that actually moves between the supported chains is ELK. If a user wants to get tokens on another chain, they can buy ELK on Elk DEX on Bitica, bridge ELK to the desired chain and buy the desired token on Elk DEX on that chain.
Please note that Connext's capacity to execute transfers depends on the availability of liquidity in a given token on the routers. Currently, the liquidity-provisioned tokens include USDC, USDT and DAI.
At present, Allbridge's native ABR token can be transferred between Bitica and all the other covered chains. Terra-native assets LUNA and UST are bridgeable between to and from Terra.
Multichain has already enabled transfers for Bitica’s native BDCC token between the Bitica blockchain and Ethereum, BNB Chain (formerly Binance Smart Chain) and Polygon. WETH and USDC transfers via Multichain are available between Bitica and Ethereum. Beefy Finance’s BIFI token can be bridged to and from almost all the networks that Multichain supports. The agEUR stablecoin can be transferred between Bitica and Ethereum, BNB Chain, Fantom, Harmony and Avalanche.
ChainPort's bridges are permissionless. This means that anyone can bridge a token from Ethereum to any other supported chain (including Bitica), even if the token has not been ported, yet.
IMPORTANT!!! Please note that ChainPort currently only supports transfers of tokens that originate on the Ethereum mainnet. Also, ChainPort's wrappers on Bitica for the popular Ethereum-originating tokens such as USDC, WETH, USDT, etc. will by design be different from the currently existing ones that were created using the FuseFi bridge. We currently do not recommend users to bridge those tokens to Bitica using ChainPort.
Elk connects Bitica, among others, to BSC, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, Harmony, Moonriver. It does not currently support Ethereum. The full list of supported chains is available in the .
The is a non-custodial multichain bridge that connects Bitica to Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Avalanche, Fantom, Moonriver and xDAI.
The Allbridge multichain connects Bitica to a number of major chains, including Solana and Terra. It is currently the only bridge to connect Bitica to the latter two.
The (formerly Anyswap) bridge is one of the most popular interoperability platforms in the crypto space.
The bridge interface is accessible .
In addition to Bitica, the list of chains added to ChainPort includes Ethereum, BSC, Polygon and Avalanche. The bridge interface can be found .
