Background

English/Sanskrit - Setu

A decentralized coins bridge protocol designed to facilitate secure and efficient cross-chain transfers.

Setu is a decentralized stablecoin bridge protocol designed to facilitate secure and efficient cross-chain transfers between EVM and non-EVM blockchains. Built on Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), Setu leverages threshold cryptography within decentralized canisters, eliminating the need for centralized relayers or custody.

How tokens flow securely across different blockchains in the Setu protocol

Deposit

User deposits coins on the source chain

Detection

Indexer detects the deposit event and confirms it

Release

Equivalent tokens are released on the destination chain

Signature

Decentralized canisters generate threshold signatures

Setu bridges multiple blockchain ecosystems, enabling seamless coin transfers

Security

  • Private keys are never exposed or stored

  • Signatures are generated inside threshold signer canisters

  • Transactions are only signed after verifying on-chain events

Recovery
