How it works

  • From this bridge blog (21-4-2022):

"Nomad is a design for very cheap cross-chain communication that skips the need for header verification. Nomad draws a lot of inspiration from the Optimism team. Nomad itself is actually an implementation and extension of their Optics protocol (OPTimistic Interchain Communication). But Nomad only has a latency of thirty minutes (rather than an ORU’s one-week fraud-proof window). It works like a notary service. The source chain produces and sends some “documents” (messages), the “notary” (called The Updater) is contracted to sign the documents and is incentivized only to approve valid messages or risk being financially punished and losing their “notary license”. The secret sauce from their docs:

“Nomad creates an authenticated data structure on any home chain, and relays updates to that data structure on any number of replicas. As a result, the home chain and all replicas [[[contracts]] that maintain a queue of pending updates, accepts proofs, and dispatches messages] will agree on the state of the data structure. By embedding data (“messages”) in this data structure we can propagate it between chains with a high degree of confidence.”"

Interoperability

"Nomad channels and the flagship xApp (cross-chain app), the Nomad token bridge, are live on Ethereum, Moonbeam, and Milkomeda, with more chains coming soon."

Roadmap

Usage

"The token bridge has only been live for 3 months and has amassed $288m in volume with $47m TVL. Nomad's locked asset distribution is made up of 33.6% $USDC followed by 29.7% $FRAX, which makes up a total of $30M of the current TVL. However, $USDT and $WETH have made a surge in the past couple of days on the Moonbeam side, and $WETH and $WBTC are quite popular bridging over to Milkomeda."
