Bridge Dependencies

Chainlink's cross-chain interoperability protocol. Messages are validated by the Chainlink DON with a Risk Management Network; tokens move via burn/mint or lock/mint token pools.

	Protocol / Token	Type	Model	Integration	Details
	Apyx apxUSD	direct	TODO	Chainlink CCIP	Uses CCIP for cross-chain transfers (no LayerZero dependency)
	Centrifuge JAAA	direct	TODO	Chainlink CCIP (2-of-2 MultiAdapter)	Second half of the 2-of-2 quorum alongside LayerZero V2
	InfiniFi	direct	TODO	Chainlink CCIP + LayerZero	Cross-chain support added in PR 224
	Maple (syrupUSDC)	direct	Bridged	Chainlink CCIP (LockReleaseTokenPool)	LockReleaseTokenPool holds ~13% of supply on mainnet, backing bridged syrupUSDC on Base/Arbitrum/Solana

Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol moves native USDC by burning on the source chain and minting on the destination, gated by Circle's off-chain attestation service. Using canonical CCTP removes third-party lock-and-mint bridge risk; the trust assumption reduces to Circle's availability and attestation finality.

	Protocol / Token	Type	Model	Integration	Details
	Gauntlet gtUSDa	direct	Transport	Circle CCTP V2 (native burn/mint)	Bridges USDC across Base/Arbitrum/Optimism to Morpho
	Origin OUSD	direct	Transport	Circle CCTP V2	Cross-chain strategies bridge ~42% of TVL to Base and HyperEVM
	Yearn yvUSD	direct	Transport	Circle CCTP V2 (CCTPStrategy)	Bridges USDC to Arbitrum (funded, ~3.5%) and Base (added, 0 debt); Katana uses AggLayer separately
	Flex	indirect	Transport	Collateral is yvUSD (which bridges via CCTP)

Generic cross-chain messaging. Tokens bridge via the OFT / OFT-Adapter standard; security depends on the configured DVN (Decentralized Verifier Network) set and the token's mint/burn authority on each chain.

	Protocol / Token	Type	Model	Integration	Details
	Across Protocol	direct	TODO	LayerZero OFT	Standard cross-chain transfers
	Cap stcUSD	direct	TODO	LayerZero vault component
	Centrifuge JAAA	direct	TODO	LayerZero V2 (2-of-2 MultiAdapter)	2-of-2 quorum with Chainlink CCIP; 5 DVNs on the LZ side
	fxUSD	direct	TODO	LayerZero OFT	Omnichain bridging
	InfiniFi	direct	TODO	LayerZero + Chainlink CCIP	Cross-chain support added in PR 224
	Midas mHYPER	direct	Mints native	LayerZero OFT Adapter (MidasLzMintBurnOFTAdapter)	Adapter holds M_HYPER_MINT_OPERATOR_ROLE (mint has no onchain backing check) and the burn role
	Paxos USDG	direct	Mints native	LayerZero V2 OFT (OFTWrapper)	OFTWrapper is Supply Controller SC3 with 45M USDG mint capacity (~521 USDG/sec refill) — the bridge can mint native USDG
	Re (reUSD)	direct	Mints native	LayerZero OFT (ReMintBurnAdapter)	ReMintBurnAdapter holds a live cross-chain mint path on reUSD; active on Avalanche, Arbitrum, Base, BNB; 2.5M/24h rate limit
	Resolv RLP	direct	TODO	LayerZero OFT	Cross-chain transfers via Stargate
	Resolv wstUSR	direct	TODO	LayerZero OFT	Available on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Plasma
	Sky USDS	direct	Bridged	LayerZero V2 OFT Adapter	Adapter locks USDS for Solana + Avalanche (~48.7M locked) and does NOT hold `wards` on USDS — it cannot mint native USDS
	Fluid	indirect	TODO	rsETH market exposure
	KernelDAO hgETH	indirect	TODO	Wraps rsETH (Kelp DAO)
