1. Understanding cross-chain interoperability
Blockchain gradually spawned the outreach needs of interacting with other applications. Those needs can only be perfectly solved with mobility cross-chain interoperability: the ability for different blockchain systems to communicate and share data with each other.
Interoperability solutions like blockchain bridges, relayers, and interoperability protocols (Polkadot, Cosmos, and Thorchain) allow users and applications to access multiple blockchains simultaneously, enabling cross-chain messaging, smart contract execution, and asset movement.
Thus, the main goal of cross-chain interoperability is to connect isolated blockchain networks to overcome the limitations of blockchain silos.
Traditionally, blockchain ecosystems have operated in silos. As related work puts it, “due to the differences in blockchain architecture, data structure, interface protocols, consensus mechanisms, and even business models, new chain silos have been formed among various blockchain applications, limiting interoperability of asset exchange among them.”
With this, the development of blockchain applications is limited, and with it appears the need for an effective solution.
2. From cross-chain interoperability to cross-chain liquidity
While cross-chain interoperability solves the communication barrier between blockchains, it does not fully address one critical challenge:
The movement of liquidity.
Interoperability allows different blockchains to exchange information, but without efficient cross-chain liquidity, users still face significant hurdles when trying to trade, borrow, or invest.
Liquidity cross-chain technology acts as the bridge and hub to link the blockchain, enabling the free movement of value across networks.
Ultimately, cross-chain liquidity is what transforms blockchain interoperability from a simple data-sharing function into a fully connected ecosystem.
3. Revolutionizing cross-chain liquidity on SUI with our Volo Liquid Hub
On the foundation of interoperability and liquidity, we are introducing a new solution that represents an essential step towards DeFi growth in SUI.
Our Liquid Hub will integrate, alongside vSUI, vBTC, vETH, and vSOL.
Example use case:
If a user holds Lombard BTC (LBTC), and wants to bridge it to SUI, they would typically face the challenge of limited integrations, requiring the creation of dedicated liquidity pools and lending infrastructures.
Our solution eliminates this challenge by enabling direct conversion of LBTC into vBTC, ensuring:
- Instant access to all DeFi
- Participation in its functionalities
- No additional integrations required
With this, users can convert and consolidate all of their assets to a single, highly liquid token.
Therefore, vBTC acts similarly to an ETF of BTC restaking tokens, creating an optimal environment for swaps within the SUI network.
This mechanism extends beyond BTC, as similar implementations will apply to ETH, SOL, and SUI, allowing users to benefit from our cross-chain unified liquidity layer.
