Q markBridgeNative Vault Lanes

Native Vault Lanes

Bridge separates host-native posture from representation posture. A route can be described, tested, or listed without becoming a production native-vault lane.

Gold And Silver

Product class controls how a reader should interpret the asset posture.

Gold posture

Host-native evidence, finalized host movement or custody proof, native-vault view, and durable receipt labels.

Silver posture

Representation-style claim that must not pretend to be the underlying host asset.

Gold graduation

A movement from representation posture into native host-vault posture only when size, evidence, and policy allow it.

Silver issue

A convenience or small-size path where native-vault posture is not available or not worth opening.

Protocol inventory

A native inventory path that still needs route, receipt, cost, and authority labels.

Host action mandate

A bounded host-side action request, not a generic trading desk or public sell/redeem/swap surface.

Lane Map

A lane map is a review map, not an activation list.

Tier 1 thesis lanes

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are primary native-vault shapes: UTXO hard asset, account-style host action, and high-value host execution.

EVM venue lanes

Base, Arbitrum, OP Mainnet, Polygon PoS, Avalanche C-Chain, BNB Smart Chain, and similar venues are candidates, not production-native lanes by default.

Issuer and protocol lanes

USDC, PAXG, USDP, KAG, USDe, ONDO, Pendle, DAI, MKR, LINK, and related assets need issuer or protocol proof posture.

Cosmos-native routes

Cosmos assets belong in Cosmos route and endpoint manifests. They are not automatically native-vault lanes.

Endpoint boundary

Endpoint access, host-chain listing, route metadata, or public JSON does not activate a native-vault lane.

Receiving-chain boundary

Bridge can carry evidence. The receiving chain owns what that evidence means inside its own economy.

Public Scope

  • Host-native versus representation posture.
  • Lane candidates and proof categories.
  • Activation language that stays separate from endpoint visibility.

Public Boundary

  • No wrapper equivalence claim.
  • No local bank minting claim.
  • No Bridge sell, redeem, or swap authority.
  • No destination admission or reserve backing by default.
