Picture a user transferring an asset from Ethereum to NEAR. Router Nitro utilizes three distinct processes to ensure a smooth transaction: the foundational Forwarder flow, Circle’s CCTP Flow, or the Mint and Burn Flow, contingent on the token’s nature.</p><p>The Forwarder flow operates via trustless entities known as Forwarders, who are essentially market makers providing <a href="https://blockchainreporter.net/glossary/liquidity/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">liquidity</a>. This setup enables Router Nitro to execute transactions swiftly and cost-effectively, thus boosting the bridge’s capital efficiency.</p><p>Moreover, Router Nitro incorporates a “Reverse Verification” flow, tailored to ensure rapid and economical transfers. This unique bridging construct, specific to our chain, can also augment the efficiency of other applications.</p><h3 id="near-community-benefits-from-router-nitro-integration">NEAR Community Benefits from Router Nitro Integration</h3><p>With this integration, the NEAR community gains access to Router Nitro’s advanced capabilities. Users in the NEAR ecosystem can now effortlessly leverage these services for seamless transactions, thanks to Router Nitro’s innovative technology.</p>
