How the Bridge Works (Under the Hood)
Step 1 - Escrow on Source Chain
Your tokens are locked in an IBC module escrow account.
Step 2 - IBC Packet Broadcast
A packet containing token denomination, amount, sender, and receiver is relayed over a dedicated channel.
Step 3 - Voucher Minting on Destination
Migrate an entire position upward; a fresh lock timer starts, existing rewards remain intact.
Step 4 - Redemption / Un‑escrow
When tokens flow back, vouchers burn and the original escrow unlocks.
Because escrow and mint/burn happen atomically with light‑client proofs, there is no central custodian.
