Token bridges use the "lock-mint-burn-unlock" mechanism, which requires no intermediaries or relay network to complete crosschain transactions. When moving assets from one blockchain to another, the assets are transferred directly from the source chain to the destination chain.

XFlows is a decentralised cross-chain solution that enables native-to-native cross-chain transformations for assets that exist natively on multiple chains. XFlows leverages the power of Wanchain’s bridges to provide easy, non-custodial transformations between chains without the need for centralised exchanges.

NFT bridges use the lock-mint-burn-unlock mechanism. When moving NFTs from one blockchain to another, the original NFT is securely locked on the source chain before a duplicate is minted on the destination chain. NFT IDs and attributes are also transferred.
