Gateway Contracts

Purpose

Gateway contracts are essential components that enable different blockchains to communicate with each other. They handle the secure and efficient transfer of data and messages between networks, making cross-chain interactions possible.

NOTE: Developers building cross-chain contracts do NOT need to interface with Gateway contracts. This is fully abstracted. See HERE for how to implement cross-chain contracts.

Functionality

• Automated Setup: These contracts are pre-deployed by the system, so developers don't need to set them up manually.

• Seamless Communication: They ensure that messages and data are correctly routed and processed between different blockchains.

Gateway contracts work behind the scenes to manage cross-chain communication. Developers don't need to worry about interfacing with them; they are handled by the system to ensure everything runs smoothly.
