What is the Confidential Layer Bridge?

The Confidential Layer Bridge lets you move assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB and DAI onto the Zano blockchain, where they gain advanced privacy features. It’s powered by the Bridgeless L1 blockchain, which is decentralized, non-custodial, and secure. This means you stay in control of your funds while transferring assets across different blockchains.

- You deposit Bitcoin into a smart contract on Ethereum.

- Validators detect the deposit and create a cryptographic witness.
- This witness proves the deposit while revealing as little information as possible.

- Validators use a threshold signature scheme (TSS).
- Each validator only holds a piece of the key.
- A minimum number of validators must work together to sign a transaction—so no one party can access your funds.

- Once verified, a wrapped version of Bitcoin is created on Zano, backed 1:1 by your original Ether.
- You now have a private version of Bitcoin in your Zano wallet.

- You can always move your assets back to Bitcoin when you choose.
