In the traditional bridge design, the bridge is secured by operators of a multi-sig that sign off on the transactions. However, this puts the bridge security and asset custody completely in the hands of the bridge operators.
Electron ZK-Bridge follows a security model where no such centralized multi-sig operators are needed. In our design, all transactions are validated using ZK Light Clients, and not by a multi-sig in the middle.
In our bridge, we verify ZK-proofs of the NEAR Light Client on Ethereum, and verify ZK-proofs of the Ethereum Light Client on NEAR, as shown below -
