It's not really the bridge that's most important. It is the adaptors that are written on both sides, so that you're basically putting this virtual machine and execution of exium messages on both sides of the bridge. Its funny, the bridge itself doesn't really matter too much. I mean, nobody does, except for people who like making a lot of money and moving quickly. Revergoti like light client bridges, are actuallylike, secure, but umis, they're very gas heavy, and it's expensive to do light climet proof checks. But those you can actually pass data quickly and securely, so that's great. And optimistic bridges are great for use cases
In this week’s episode, Anna dives back into the Polkadot world with friend and occasional co-host Rob Habermeier from Parity. They cover XCM - the Cross-Consensus Messaging format - and how XCM allows parachains to speak to one another, passing messages through the validators on the relay chain via XCMP Cross-Chain Message Passing.

Today’s episode is sponsored by Polygon Miden.
Polygon Miden is layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. Miden relies on ZK-STARKs to roll-up thousands of layer 2 transactions into a single Ethereum transaction, increasing throughput and reducing fees.
At the heart of Polygon Miden is Miden VM, a Turing-complete STARK-based virtual machine which provides a level of safety and support of advanced features currently not available on Ethereum.
