A bridge is a link between two or more blockchain networks that permits the movement of assets or information between them, while a gateway enhances the authenticity of transactions coming in and out of the blockchain.
All bridge assets are stored in a secure vault, which then triggers the mint mechanism on the other side. The assets you mint onto CIC Chain are minted to 1:1 ratio and each asset acts like a legal tender promissory banknote to redeem the asset on the other side. The only possible way to access those assets is to use the wrapped counterpart, ensuring your cryptocurrency remains safe at all times and holds the same value at all times.
Below is the based Architectural Framework of CIC Multi-chain Bridge with gate.
