Built using Substrate SDK, Bifrost is geared towards solving the interoperability challenge between blockchains. It’s also 100% EVM compatible.

Some Products in the Bifrost Ecosystem
--------------------------------------

Bifrost Network : Developers can build multichain dapps with the network and it’s 100% EVM compatible,so all tooling available to Ethereum are usable on Bifrost as well.

Biport : Bifrost own wallet,it supports multichain transactions,users can receive and send assets across multiple blockchains.

Bmaill : Users can buy or sell NFTs with the multichain NFT marketplace

ChainRunnerQ : Users can execute complex Defi strategies all from one screen while also multichain.

Others : Others include BiFi( a multichain Defi platform for lending,borrowing,staking ,liquidity pools etc), BiFi X( for flash loans), Owly( for leverage trading).

2-tier node system
------------------

There are two nodes on the network : Basic nodes and Full nodes

Basic nodes : From their name, they are simple nodes,they forging or produce blocks, they also serve as archival nodes for the Bifrost network.

Full nodes : They go a little beyond basic nodes. They help with parsing messages across various blockchains that Bifrost is connected to by running relayers. They also monitor these connected chains , and help with cross chain transactions.

EVM Compatibility
-----------------

The EVM is the dominant virtual machine out there,Bifrost is 100% EVM compatible, it will support solidity and vyper based contracts(no need to bother developers to learn a new language) and by been compatible developer onboarding is easy and seamless as developers will have all the EVM tooling.

Governance on Bifrost
---------------------

The Referendum chamber, The Council and The Technical committee constitute the governing board of Bifrost,they perform various governance functions. It also uses onchain governance.
