Asset Movement

For a separate blockchain to become a parallel chain to Vine Mainnet it needs the ability to enable the transfer of assets from and to Vine Mainnet. This interoperability with Vine is achieved using a blockchain bridge. Bridges use smart contracts deployed on Vine Mainnet and a parallel chain to control the bridging of funds between them.

While bridges help users move funds between Vine and the parallel chain, the assets are not physically moved across the two chains. Instead, mechanisms that typically involve minting and burning are used for transferring value across chains.
