Offshift Launches Ethereum-Moonriver Cross-chain Bridge on Meter Passport
The Offshift Ethereum-Moonriver Bridge is now live on Meter Passport , where users can send XFT between the Ethereum and Moonriver blockchains. Moonriver is Moonbeam’s community-led sister parachain on Kusama. To streamline cross-chain transfers and simplify user experience, the Offshift Ethereum-BSC Bridge has also been migrated to Passport, which will facilitate all cross-chain XFT transfers going forward. With a fully operational cross-chain bridge now live, we are excited to advance toward the public release of our Pilot and Mainnet with development progressing on Ethereum and Substrate in lockstep.

Bulletproofs, zkSNARKs, and zkSTARKs Walk into a Blockchain
We dissect a trio of zero-knowledge cryptographic proofs and explain why Offshift selected Bulletproofs as the best fit for our PriFi solution. Zero knowledge proofs (‘zk proofs’ or ‘zks’) are amongst the foundations of modern cryptography. At Offshift, zks are a bedrock of our PriFi technology. In conjunction with a decentralized oracle network, zk proofs enable our users to mint zkAssets, our proprietary line of fully private synthetics. But what exactly is zero knowledge?
