POA Network is an Ethereum-based platform that offers an open-source framework for smart contracts. POA Network is a sidechain to Ethereum utilizing Proof of Authority as its consensus mechanism. POA provides developers with the flexibility to code in Ethereum standards with the added benefits of POA Network's solutions to scalability and interoperability in blockchain networks.
We’re proud to introduce the first ever cross-chain bridge. This interoperability protocol will allow people to convert their own POA Native Tokens from the POA Network onto the Ethereum network in a quick, cost-effective manner.
POA20 tokens allow two standalone blockchains to safely and securely interact with each other through cross-chain bridges. It’s a critical step towards solving the scalability and connectivity issues and opens up a whole new avenue of solutions and use cases.
