It includes a runtime environment for smart contracts written in Rust, allowing developers to build cross-chain bridges that can transfer assets between different blockchains.

This technology allows for the transfer of assets between chains, enabling the creation of more complex DeFi applications.

XC20 uses a decentralized trust model to ensure the integrity of transactions.

ILP uses a decentralized trust model to ensure the integrity of transactions.

This technology uses smart contracts to facilitate the exchange of assets in a trustless manner.
