ChainPort by DcentraLab - Secure & Efficient Cross-Chain Bridging

ChainPort uses a dynamic gas price system to send our tx to the blockchains and prevent congestion.

Well possibly somewhat similar as Zapo seems to be an interoperability solution, but the architecture, chains, and supported assets are very different.

Alright thanks for your time
All the best

How do you then determine the optimal gas price?

ChainPort has an algorithm that calculates the optimal gas price, and we increase the gas price slightly to ensure the tx will be sent.

It would be great to integrate TRON and we hope you’ll support our proposal :heart_hands:

Things will be a little bit simpler on Tron as there is no gas price :ok_hand:

Hmm :thinking: this sounds like it will definitely falter at some point. How about if it overestimates and pays excessively high gas fees, how would you handle that?

Well, ChainPort has been around since 2021, and we haven’t faltered yet. We use eip1559 so the gas paid will never be excessively high.

How long you’ve been around is testament to the fact that you had stood the test of time. But however, atleast to be fair, this alone doesn’t guarantee seamless future performance.

You mentioned EIP-1559, and I had to take my time to research deeply irregardless of the fact that I’m familiar with it from token bridges, it has both about base fee + priority fee structure, and this makes me wonder :thinking:
Can users select higher priority fees if they want faster bridging?

Users cannot choose the gas price of the target Tx on the target chain. As we said, gas prices are dynamic, we try to ensure the best gas price for the Tx to pass at the same time.

The bridging process at ChainPort is one of the fastest and most affordable in the world of cross-chain interoperability. The process typically takes less than 3 minutes, and gas fees are typically low, but they depend on congestion.

Thanks for your response and sorry for the late reply, I think we’ve been fixated on talking about gas prices that I almost forgot about Tron’s resource model which is basically energy and bandwidth which is quite different from chains that are gas-based, thank goodness for energy renting.

In such a scenario, how would you handle calculating the optimal cost?
