Unlike decentralization, bridge security isn't a spectrum; it's either secure or it isn't. Good engineering design includes preparing for all possibilities. A well-designed system should handle all invariants, but this basic engineering requirement is impossible to meet with trusted bridges. This is due to the main invariant being part of the protocol's design, making it impossible to pre-program the protocol to respond to a malicious takeover of its trusted authority set.
While we continue to wrap up the changes for Gargantua V2, We’d like to announce an exciting opportunity for our community members to be a part of the Hyperbridge network by running permissionless relayers. Hyperbridge will be the first fully trust-free cross-chain bridge to offer this feature and allow it’s community to be compensated by relaying requests & proofs of these requests to the appropriate chains.
