Counterstake
Counterstake is a permissionless cross-chain bridge built on Obyte that has no protocol fees and no central operators.
What is Counterstake?
Counterstake is a fully decentralized bridge protocol that lets users move assets between Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Obyte without designated operators, multisig signers, or KYC. Transfers run directly between source and destination chains; users either wait for a counter-staked claim window or pay a small tip to an active assistant for instant settlement. The Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon contracts have been audited by Dedaub.
