Tezsure launches Plenty Bridge, a decentralized bridge to let users transfer tokens from Ethereum to Tezos within five minutes

Transferring tokens between Ethereum and Tezos usually takes users nearly an hour. But that’s about to change. Today, Tezsure, the developer team behind Plenty, announced the successful launch of the Plenty bridge: a decentralized bridge between Ethereum and Tezos. Thanks to the quick finality of Tezos last upgrade the transfer now takes just 5 minutes.

Through this bridge, users can transfer their tokens USDC, DAI, USDT, BUSD, WBTC, WETH, LINK, and/or MATIC to the Tezos blockchain and back in a decentralized manner. Tezsure also said it plans to launch bridges from Avalanche, Polygon, and Binance Smart Chain in the near future.

The Plenty bridge is a decentralized protocol, relying on a strong federation (the Signers Quorum) that guarantees the stability of the bridge. Through the bridge, users receive tokens in the format <bridged_asset>.<source_chain> (bridge tokens) which are representations of ERC20 tokens on the Tezos blockchain. These tokens can then be used on Tezos, and their value is pegged to the original tokens.

“The Ethereum bridge and the upcoming bridges from chains like Polygon, Avalanche, & BSC are key for the growth of the entire Tezos ecosystem. More bridges enable users from other chains to easily migrate their assets and try out all the innovation happening on Tezos.” – Bernd Oostrum & Om Malviya, Tezsure co-founders

The Signers Quorum -a group of trusted Tezos community members- guarantee the stability of the Plenty bridge. Quorum Members interact with both the Ethereum and the Tezos blockchain, and create bridge transactions based on user activity. The bridge starts off with seven quorum members: Integro Labs, Codecrafting Labs, MIDL.dev, Baking Bad, Madfish, Tezos Ukraine, and Tezsure. All teams are reputable members of the Tezos community.

● Integro Labs: world famous on Tezos thanks to teztools.io and saving Hic et Nunc.
● Codecrafting Labs: developed Crunchy and many NFT PFP drops on Tezos.
● MIDL.dev: infrastructure provider and known Tezos community member.
● Baking Bad: developed BCD, TzKT, and Juster.
● Madfish: developed Quipuswap and Temple wallet.
● Tezos Ukraine: facilitates the growth of Tezos in Ukraine and Eastern Europe.
● Tezsure: developed Plenty, naan wallet, and ctez.app.

About Plenty:
Plenty is all-in-one DeFi on Tezos. In development is Plenty.network: a collection of AMMs, bridges, & robocoins. The new Plenty AMM in development iterates on existing frameworks such as boosted rewards, bribes, and vote escrow (ve) tokens, first introduced by Curve. The new model solves issues around fee distribution, liquidity mining, and liquidity bootstrapping. Users can trade uncorrelated assets, and/or tightly correlated assets at low cost and near zero slippage with Arthur’s flat curve.
