3.4 Cross-Chain Interoperability

This section explains how OmniPact breaks the siloed effect of blockchains and realizes the vision of "Chain Agnostic". We provide a detailed comparison of two mainstream cross-chain asset processing models and demonstrate how to build a universal cross-chain guarantee network using CCIP and LayerZero.

To achieve the vision of "Omni" (all-capable / cross-chain), OmniPact must go beyond the limitations of a single chain. We have built an X-Escrow (Cross-Chain Escrow) protocol layer that allows users to lock funds on Chain A while triggering performance and settlement on Chain B.

3.4.1 Generalized Messaging Architecture

OmniPact does not build its own network of verification nodes. Instead, it adopts the "Transport Layer Abstraction" model and integrates the industry's most mature interoperability standards - Chainlink CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol) and LayerZero.

Messaging Topology:

  • Source Chain : Send instructions such asLockFunds

  • Transport Layer : Responsible for relaying and verifying cross-chain messages.

  • Destination Chain : Receive instructions and execute state changes such as CreateEscrow

Security Stack:

We have adopted Multi-Network Validation. For high-value transactions, the protocol mandates that both the Active Risk Management (ARM) network verification from CCIP and the confirmation from LayerZero Oracle must be obtained simultaneously before executing the Mint or Unlock operations on the target chain. This redundant design eliminates the systemic risk of a single bridging protocol being hacked.

3.4.2 X-Escrow Asset Transfer Mechanisms

For different types of assets and liquidity needs, OmniPact has implemented two completely different asset processing mechanisms in X-Escrow.

A. Lock-and-Unlock

Suitable for native asset bridging (such as transferring USDT from the ETH mainnet to Arbitrum).

  • Process:

    1. Source (Chain A): Buyer call OES.lock(),The funds were transferred to Chain A's Liquidity Pool Contract and frozen.

    2. Message: The protocol generates a Proof that proves "1000 USDT has been locked on Chain A".

    3. Destination (Chain B): Once Chain B's OES receives the Proof and verifies it, it unlocks an equivalent amount of USDT from Chain B's Liquidity Pool (if liquidity is sufficient) and transfers it to a brand new Escrow instance, or generates a Virtual Balance for accounting purposes.

  • Advantages: It maintains the canonical nature of the asset without issuing new tokens.

  • Disadvantage: Depends on the liquidity depth of the target chain.

B. Burn-and-Mint

Applicable to OmniPact native token ($PACT) or assets that support the OFT/CCTP standard (such as USDC).

  • process:

    1. Source (Chain A): The buyer's funds are immediately burned on Chain A.（Send to0x00...address）.

    2. Message: Cross-chain message carrying Burn certificate.

    3. Destination (Chain B): Chain B contracts directly mint an equivalent amount of assets to an Escrow escrow address.

  • Circle CCTP Integration: For USDC transactions, we have deeply integrated Circle's cross-chain transfer protocol (CCTP) to achieve native Burn-and-Mint, eliminating the risk of decoupling from bridged assets (Wrapped Tokens).

  • Advantages: It completely solves the problem of liquidity fragmentation and theoretically supports unlimited cross-chain transfers.

  • Disadvantage: It only applies to specific tokens that support the standard.

3.4.3 State Synchronization

The core challenge of X-Escrow lies not in asset transfer, but in cross-chain state machine synchronization (FSM Synchronization).

Scenario: Chain A makes payment, Chain B fulfills the payment.

  1. Init: The buyer locked funds in Chain A (Optimism).

  2. Sync: state The Shadow Contract was synchronized to Chain B (Polygon).

  3. Action: The seller submitted proof of performance on Chain B via Polygon's low-gas environment, and the status changed to 。

  4. Callback: Chain B sends a cross-chain callback message to Chain A.

  5. Settlement: Chain A receives the "fulfilled" signal and updates its status to ，And release the funds to the seller's wallet in Chain A.

This "Control on Cheap Chain, Assets on Secure Chain" model is OmniPact's biggest architectural advantage over traditional single-chain guarantee protocols.

This section demonstrates how OmniPact, through its sophisticated technical architecture, provides users with an extremely simple "seamless cross-chain" experience, establishing its position as a general-purpose Web3 infrastructure.
