Zero bridge

Inspiration

Algorand is very effecient network.

It provides economic finality 4 seconds, the transaction fees are so low that the micropayment transaction use cases or full onchain orderbook usecases are possible, is carbon negative network, allows doing smart contracts has definitive supply, allows creating sub tokens and is very easy to code in.

We decided to create algorand bitcoin bridge so that El Salvadorian people and government can benefit from the effeciency of the algorand network.

We have also worked on Ethereum to Algorand bridge, so that we create competition between blockchain networks in which the people use cases are the winners - for example low transaction fees.

What it does

There are two applications:

1) Where one blockchain does not allow to send note fields or smart contracts (like bitcoin) https://github.com/scholtz/zero-bridge

2) Smart contracts capable network https://github.com/ZeroBridge/eth-bnb-algo

How we built it

NodeJs

Challenges we ran into

Bitcoin core sync long time

Accomplishments that we're proud of

First algorand to ethereum powered open source bridge

What we learned

There is never enough time :)
