Abstract

This paper presents the current state of Akamon β, a native bridge between Cardano and Polygon. The objective is to leverage both chains’ efficient infrastructure to bridge native assets between them. Akamon aims to be a community-driven bridge open for everyone, emphasizing decentralization and trustless custody. Nevertheless, in the second version, we have to start somewhere in-between and continue to push for decentralization in later versions. The goal is to make iterative improvements to collect experiences along the way. For instance, an early semi-centralized testnet brings us practical UX, infrastructure, economics, and operations foundations to focus more on decentralization from γ. We will also cover many more depths on the second paper version to be published on June 20th as β hits the public testnets.

Conclusion

We focus on the high-level descriptions of the current state of Akamon β in this first white paper version. We expect to cover many more depths on the second version to be published on June 20th as β hits the public testnets.
