Seamless Bridging and Interoperability

RuneVM employs zkSync technology to facilitate seamless asset transfers between the Bitcoin mainnet and the Layer 2 network. The bridging mechanism involves locking Bitcoin Runes on the mainnet and minting equivalent tokens on RuneVM. This process ensures a one-to-one peg between the assets on both layers, allowing users to transfer assets effortlessly between the Bitcoin network and RuneVM.

This interoperability is crucial for creating a fluid and efficient ecosystem where Bitcoin Runes can be utilized across various decentralized applications (dApps) and protocols on RuneVM. The ability to move assets seamlessly between layers reduces friction and enhances the user experience, making it easier for developers to build and deploy applications that leverage the strengths of both Bitcoin and RuneVM.

For example, a user might lock their Bitcoin Runes on the mainnet to mint equivalent tokens on RuneVM, use those tokens in a DeFi application to earn interest or provide liquidity, and then move the assets back to the mainnet when desired. This fluid movement between layers ensures that users can maximize the utility and value of their Bitcoin Runes.
