### What is Bifrost?

Bifrost is a multichain middleware platform that enables developers to create decentralised applications (DApps) by combining the best protocols from multiple blockchains. It aims to provide liquidity for all pledged assets by issuing corresponding shadow assets during the bonding period of the original assets, enabling users to convert their Proof of Stake (PoS) tokens into vTokens for staking liquidity and rewards.

### How does Bifrost work?

Bifrost operates on a Substrate framework and is an EVM-compatible layer 1 blockchain network, utilising the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. It supports smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing developers to create DApps in Solidity. Bifrost facilitates cross-chain transactions and interactions using decentralised cross-chain interoperability and the Cross-Chain Communication Protocol (CCCP).

### What are the potential use cases for Bifrost?

Bifrost has several potential use cases including:

- **Decentralised finance (DeFi) applications:** It allows for staking and liquidity provision, enabling participants to earn staking rewards and engage in cross-chain transactions.
- **Cross-chain interoperability and asset transfer:** It promotes easy transfer of assets across different blockchain networks.
- **DApp development and operation:** Supports the development of decentralised applications with its multichain capabilities.
- **Price oracle aggregation for DeFi services:** Aggregates price data from various sources to provide accurate information for DeFi applications.
Bifrost has found real-world applications in projects like BiFi, BiFi X, Owly, Biport, CrossChainSwap, and Bifswap.

### What is the history of Bifrost?

Bifrost was founded in 2018 as a middleware project focused on providing multichain capabilities. It evolved into a multichain ecosystem with the launch of the Bifrost Network mainnet in January 2023. The native token, BFC, first entered the market in 2020. Bifrost has achieved significant milestones such as integration with Polkadot and developing cross-chain communication protocols. The network is governed by community-led token governance mechanisms, promoting decentralised development and decision-making processes.
