The Bridge Problem in Simple Terms.
A simple way to understand the cross-chain problem is this:
Imagine you have money in Bank A, but the service you want only accepts Bank B.
You need an intermediary.
Blockchain bridges historically played a similar role between networks.
But bridges can introduce additional infrastructure, contracts, wrapped representations and additional points of failure.
Omniston's approach is based on atomic swaps and resolver-provided liquidity rather than simply asking users to lock one asset and receive a wrapped representation somewhere else.
That doesn't mean users should stop thinking about transaction risks.
It means the architecture is designed around a different model for cross-chain execution.
For me, this is one of the more important parts of the STON.fi story: understanding how assets move, not just where they can move.
