Quickstart

V8 bridging protocol

Layerswap V8 is the first trustless asset bridging protocol that enables any network to join permissionlessly. It leverages an advanced version of Atomic Swaps for a completely trustless asset exchange between two parties: the user and the solver.

​

Bridge Deployment API

This API deploys a trustless bridge to your rollup. The automated system requires no manual intervention, completing the entire bridge deployment process in under 5 minutes. Once deployed, your network is instantly accessible for cross-chain bridging on Bridge UI.

​

Getting Started

Follow the instructions below to learn how to autonomously deploy a trustless bridge on any rollup.

​

1) Get API Keys

The Layerswap V8 Bridge Deployment API is currently in early-access. To request your API keys, please fill out this form.

​

2) Call the Deploy Bridge Endpoint

Here’s an example for deploying a bridge on the OP Stack rollup:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://atomic-dev.layerswap.cloud/api/v0.2/deployment \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'X-V8-APIKEY: <api-key>' \
  --data '{
  "chain_id": 45646545646,
  "network_name": "YourNetwork_TESTNET",
  "network_display_name": "Your Network Testnet",
  "logo_url": "<url to logo>",
  "network_group": "EVM_OPTIMISM_EIP1559",
  "is_testnet": true,
  "canonical_bridge_address": "0x1200000000000000000000000000000000000000",
  "gas_price_oracle": "0x420000000000000000000000000000000000000F",
  "native_asset_symbol": "ETH",
  "native_asset_decimals": 18,
  "public_rpc": "https://ethereum.publicnode.com",
  "private_rpc": "https://ethereum.publicnode.com",
  "address_lookup_explorer_template": "https://etherscan.io/address/{0}",
  "tx_lookup_explorer_template": "https://etherscan.io/tx/{0}"
}'

For more endpoints and a detailed explanation of each, check the API Reference.

​

3) Check Deployment Status

To monitor the deployment process, periodically call the Deployment Status endpoint:

curl --request GET \
  --url https://atomic-dev.layerswap.cloud/api/v0.2/deployment/{deploymentId} \
  --header 'X-V8-APIKEY: <api-key>'

Continue polling until the response status is Completed.

​

4) Access Your Network for Bridging

Once the deployment is complete, your bridge will be available for access. Visit Layerswap V8 to start bridging.
