Basics

Welcome to the Garden Basics! Whether you're new to the world of crypto bridging or looking to deepen your understanding, this section is your starting point. Here, we demystify the jargon and provide clear explanations of the foundational blocks that drive the Garden ecosystem.

📄️ Swap

Garden is unlike traditional 'bridges' and doesn't have a custodian network or multi-sig securing the bridge. It is built using a decentralized Order Matching Engine and peer-to-peer Atomic Swaps. As a result, Garden's security and decentralization are deferred to the chains on which it is deployed, making it less vulnerable to attacks.

📄️ Stake

Stakers are vital in maintaining the system's integrity by overseeing Fillers and ensuring their ethical and efficient operation. They have the authority to reward diligent Fillers with additional orders, thus preventing any single Filler from completely dominating the system. This balanced approach creates a healthy and competitive environment where Fillers are encouraged to excel while maintaining fairness and transparency.

📄️ Liquidity Provision

There are two ways to provide liquidity into the Garden ecosystem:
