This proposal aims to migrate Echelon from the OP bridge to IBC, enabling instant bridging without a finalization period.
This proposal will enable the OP Bridge to use IBC internally for instant bridging and allow IBC to mint existing OP bridged tokens rather than IBC vouchers.
About the Rollup
| Rollup name | Bridge ID | L1Denom | IBC Channel ID | IBC Port ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Echelon | 16 | uinit | channel-35 | transfer |
Rationale
Echelon was initially launched with an OP bridge that requires a finalization period for withdrawals from the Echelon rollup to Initia L1. To provide users with an instant bridging experience—essential for maintaining efficient liquidity in a money market—we propose migrating Echelon to use the IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) protocol instead.
Benefits of this migration:
The migration will configure the OP bridge to utilize IBC internally, enabling instant bridging while maintaining compatibility with previously minted OP bridged tokens. Instead of creating new IBC vouchers, the system will mint the existing OP bridged token format.
If this proposal is approved, users will be able to bridge INIT tokens between Echelon and Initia L1 instantly through IBC, eliminating the current withdrawal period.
Implementation Details
The technical implementation will connect Bridge ID 16 (Echelon) with IBC channel-35 using the transfer port, allowing seamless migration from the OP bridge infrastructure to IBC while preserving token compatibility.
