Argennon bridges

[aybehrouz]

Currently we can support two type of bridges in Argennon:

Type-1: The source chain is not supported by the Argennon protocol but the delegates committee supports bridging from it. Users send their asset to the delegates and the delegates give the user equal amount of the pegged token on Argennon. Because this process is transparent any fraud could be proved socially and it could result in the removal of the delegate committee by the Argennon users.

Type-2: The source chain is partially supported by the Argennon protocol. The Argennon validators have access to a light client of the source chain but the source chain knows nothing of Argennon. The light client enables Argennon validators to monitor any transactions to and from an address in the source chain. Therefore, when users send their assets to an address controlled by the delegates committee on the source chain the protocol will give them pegged tokens automatically. This will make the pegged token fully reliable. If the delegates committee refuses to give back a user's assets on the source chain, the fraud will be detected by the Argennon protocol and delegates' stake could be confiscated and used to cover stolen funds.
