Bridging the Future

The Interchain Gateway by Crypto Factor & Partisia Blockchain

Interoperability remains one of blockchain’s biggest challenges. The ability to seamlessly connect different networks is essential for the future of (DeFi & OpenFi), yet many existing solutions lack security, efficiency, or true decentralisation. That’s where Crypto Factor, in collaboration with Partisia Blockchain, is stepping in to redefine cross-chain connectivity.

Introducing the Interchain Gateway

As part of a new grant initiative, Crypto Factor is developing the Interchain Gateway, a decentralised cross-chain connection between DeFiChain and Polygon. Powered by Partisia Blockchain’s Zero-Knowledge (ZK) attestation services and decentralised storage solutions, this gateway establishes a secure, scalable, and transparent method for moving assets and data between chains.

Unlike traditional “bridges,” which are prone to security vulnerabilities and centralisation risks, the Interchain Gateway operates as its own blockchain, leveraging decentralised storage to maintain integrity and security. This architecture provides a robust foundation for DeFi applications looking to expand across multiple networks without compromising security or efficiency.

Phase 0: Laying the Groundwork

This grant supports the foundational stage of the Interchain Gateway. Phase 0 focuses on operational costs related to deploying and managing this crucial infrastructure. By ensuring stability in this initial stage, Crypto Factor is building a strong base for future expansion.

Beyond simple cross-chain transfers, the long-term vision includes porting Crypto Factor’s decentralised applications (dApps) and services to new networks, further unlocking DeFi potential. While these initiatives remain under discussion, the priority remains clear: create a solid, secure, and scalable bridge that fosters DeFi innovation.

Unlocking New Opportunities for Developers & Users

For both developers and users, the Interchain Gateway represents a game-changing opportunity to seamlessly connect ecosystems. By enabling efficient, secure, and decentralised cross-chain functionality, this initiative:

Reduces reliance on centralised intermediaries

Enhances security with ZK attestation services

Supports scalable and permissionless DeFi applications

Strengthens the role of Partisia Blockchain as a key enabler of interoperability

As blockchain technology continues to evolve, collaboration and innovation will define the next generation of OpenFi. With the support of this grant, Crypto Factor’s Interchain Gateway is set to be a cornerstone of a secure and interconnected multi-chain future. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue building the infrastructure to power next-generation decentralised finance.
