The best bridge to and from Optimism, secured by Circle

ValueRouter is the most secure Optimism bridge to Ethereum to move tokens across blockchains in a trustless way.

Optimism, an Optimistic Rollup, offers a more cost-efficient transaction process compared to the Ethereum Mainnet (Layer 1 or L1). This efficiency is achieved because transactions are processed by a select few nodes, rather than the entire network, while still maintaining data integrity by recording all data on L1. This setup ensures the reliability and availability of the Mainnet.

To utilize Layer 1 assets on Layer 2 platforms like Optimism, bridging these assets is necessary. A common method involves users locking assets (typically ETH and ERC-20 tokens) on L1, and in exchange, they receive equivalent assets on L2. When these assets are transferred back to L1, they are burned on L2 and subsequently released to the user on L1.

The Optimism standard bridge exemplifies this process. We examine its source code in this article to understand its functionality and highlight its proficiency as an example of well-written Solidity code.

ValueRouter use CCTP as the value bridge between Optimism and Ethereum, which is guaranteed by Circle. Users can be rest assured that ValueRouter can deliver the values to or from Optimism.
