Meet Thea: a better decentralized token bridge
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>"Thea is a unique combination of the Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS) cryptographic primitive for distributed key generation/signing + light clients, software that connects to full nodes to allow interaction with the blockchain without storing the actual blockchain.</p> <p>Unlike current token bridges with centralized relayers, Thea is run by existing Polkadex network validators who act as a decentralized group of relayers. Therefore, Thea bridges have no central point of attack as they are as decentralized as the Polkadex network itself." - Taken from Polkadex's Twitter post.</p> <p>Medium article: <a href="https://polkadex.medium.com/thea-a-better-decentralized-token-bridge-ac2e362a2a2b">https://polkadex.medium.com/thea-a-better-decentralized-token-bridge-ac2e362a2a2b</a></p> <p>Edit: Apology for the low-effort post, but the Medium article explains everything in way more of a technical and professional manner than I could myself.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Troffel696"> /u/Troffel696 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ttmp37/meet_thea_a_better_decentralized_token_bridge/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ttmp37/meet_thea_a_better_decentralized_token_bridge/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
