Bridges & Networks
Define the canonical network, supported networks, and security-first bridge policy boundaries for PVR.
Overview
This document defines the network scope for PVR and the policy boundaries for cross-chain availability. PVERSE adopts a security-first approach: bridging is treated as critical infrastructure, not a growth feature.
The goal of this page is to make network truth explicit, minimize ambiguity around unofficial wrapped assets, and preserve supply integrity by keeping canonical authority clear at all times.
Scope
Bridges & Networks defines the canonical network model for the token layer inside the Token section.
- canonical network designation and supply authority boundaries
- supported network scope and launch-time constraints
- official bridge admission criteria and operational requirements
- non-official bridge disclaimers and forward-only cross-chain policy
Core Model
The core model is that PVR has a single canonical network that defines protocol-level supply authority. Additional network presence, if ever introduced, must remain subordinate to that canonical source of truth and must not create ambiguous supply interpretation.
- the canonical token contract is the supply authority reference
- supported networks are policy-defined, not community-assumed
- bridge systems are optional infrastructure, not default launch requirements
- future bridge and network changes apply forward-only under explicit public policy
Canonical Network
PVR is issued on a canonical network. The canonical token contract is the single source of truth for token supply authority and protocol-level accounting.
Supported Networks
At launch, PVR is supported on the canonical network only. Additional networks may be introduced later under strict security review and operational readiness criteria.
- Supported now: BNB Smart Chain (BSC)
- Not supported at launch: multi-chain native deployments, wrapped PVR on other chains, or official liquidity outside the canonical network
Bridge Policy
PVERSE does not support unrestricted bridging. If bridging is introduced, it will be implemented as a controlled protocol infrastructure layer. Any bridge design must preserve supply integrity and enforce clear responsibility boundaries.
Principles
- Supply authority stays canonical. Bridged representations must not create unbounded or ambiguous supply.
- Security before expansion. Cross-chain availability is never prioritized above safety.
- Operational readiness required. Monitoring, alerting, and incident response must exist before launch.
- Forward-only policy. Once a bridge is launched, it is managed by explicit upgrades and public policy, not silent changes.
Admission Criteria
An official bridge may be introduced only if all of the following are satisfied:
- Audits completed for smart contracts and any validator, relayer, or custody components.
- Threat model documented with failure modes, trust assumptions, and recovery procedures.
- Monitoring coverage including supply checks, peg health, abnormal flow detection, and incident runbooks.
- Liquidity fragmentation plan so canonical liquidity remains coherent and measurable.
- Public activation policy with timelines, limits, and operational controls documented in advance.
Security Boundary
Bridge systems introduce risks that do not exist in a single-chain deployment:
- Custody risk for assets held by bridge contracts or intermediaries
- Validator or relayer risk where consensus or quorum assumptions fail
- Smart contract risk because exploit surface increases materially
- Liquidity fragmentation because price discovery and depth may split across chains
Because of this, PVERSE treats cross-chain expansion as an infrastructure decision that must be justified by concrete operational benefit, not by marketing pressure or multi-chain optics alone.
Non-Official Bridges
Third-party bridge providers may list or wrap PVR without protocol involvement. These systems are not recognized as official.
How to verify official support
The canonical source of truth is this documentation site and the official contract references published by PVERSE. If a bridge or network is not listed here as supported, it should be treated as unsupported.
Future Expansion
PVERSE may support additional networks in the future if protocol operations are stable, liquidity policy is mature and measurable, security audits and monitoring are complete, and incident response capability is proven. Any expansion will be documented publicly with activation conditions, limits, and a forward-only operational record.
Summary
- PVR has a single canonical network that defines supply authority.
- At launch, PVR is officially supported on BSC only.
- Bridges are optional infrastructure and may be introduced only under strict security and operational criteria.
- Non-official bridges are outside protocol guarantees and must be treated as unsupported.
