A tool for moving tokens from one blockchain to another. The bridge temporarily blocks the asset on chain A and releases it on chain B. Assets on blockchain A will only be unlocked when the equivalent amount of generated tokens on blockchain B is locked again. This mechanism does not allow users
 to access assets in both blockchains at the same time.
