SUAVE uses a simple and highly trusted bridge with the Holesky Ethereum network to transfer assets for gas and MEV applications.
The current bridge implementation is meant to enable rapid prototyping. It is not meant for production / mainnet usage.
Components
The bridge code consists of two components:
- onchain
GasBridge
contract - offchain
relayerClient
An implementation of a GasBridge
smart contract and the trusted relayerClient
backend can be found here and here respectively.
The GasBridge
solidity is responsible for emitting events that the relayerClient
uses as a signal to mint on the SUAVE chain. The relayerClient
backend initializes and manages a bridge between two Ethereum chains (rootchain and sidechain) for monitoring and relaying events. The relayerClient
code includes functions for tracking events, handling transactions, and managing event states.
interface GasBridge {
event GasEvent(address indexed sender, uint256 indexed id, uint256 amount);
function transfer() external payable
}
type relayerClient interface {
SendTransaction(ctx context.Context, event *GasEvent) (string, error)
TransactionReceipt(ctx context.Context, hash common.Hash) (*types.Receipt, error)
}
