Products

Cross-Chain Swaps

Interport's Cross-Chain Swap feature allows users to exchange assets across different blockchains. By utilizing cross-chain messaging, the protocol interacts with smart contracts on various networks to ensure accurate transaction execution and optimal asset exchange rates. This eliminates the need for traditional bridging, managing liquidity pairs, or dealing with price volatility, providing users with a simplified and efficient cross-chain swapping experience. ^[4]

Technology

• Digital Asset Conversion: Digital assets on the source chain are swapped into stablecoins and added to Interport’s liquidity pool on the same chain.
• Cross-Chain Communication: A cross-chain call is sent to the contract on the destination chain with parameters for execution.
• Execution on Destination Chain: The contract on the destination chain pulls stablecoins from the Interport liquidity pool, performs swaps, and sends the desired digital assets to the user. ^[4]

Universal Bridge

Interport's Bridge enables secure and efficient transfers of digital assets across multiple blockchains, addressing a critical need in DeFi. It utilizes Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) technology from LayerZero, allowing seamless movement of widely used tokens such as USDT and USDC. The bridge facilitates interoperability beyond OFTs, offering a versatile solution for cross-chain asset transfers. ^[5]

Gas Transfer

Interport's Gas Transfer feature facilitates the movement of native digital assets across 49 different blockchains. Designed for efficiency, it allows users to transfer assets like blockchain-native tokens, enhancing cross-chain interoperability and reducing the complexities of navigating separate ecosystems. ^[6]

Farm

Interport offers dynamic reward opportunities through its Stablecoin Pools and ITP Farms. These features are designed to cater to a variety of incentive preferences. ^[7]

Stablecoin Pools

The Stablecoin Pools provide a secure and lucrative way to collect yield on stablecoin holdings. By participating in these pools, you contribute to the liquidity essential for smooth trading on our platform, while collecting competitive rewards. ^[7]

ITP Token

The ITP token serves as both a utility and governance asset within the Interport ecosystem. Protocol fees are distributed to ITP-ETH liquidity providers, enabling users to lock their ITP/ETH LP tokens and earn rewards in USDC, USDT, and ITP. ^[3]

Direct Staking

Users can stake directly on Layer 2 blockchains while the protocol automates all necessary bridging transactions to and from Ethereum. ^[3]
