Graviton: interchain swaps and wrapped tokens liquidity incentivisation solution

TL;DR

The paper introduces Graviton, a versatile liquidity incentivization model for wrapped tokens that functions across multiple blockchain platforms, enhancing adoption and integration regardless of cross-chain transfer mechanisms.

Contribution

It proposes a novel, blockchain-agnostic liquidity model for wrapped tokens that works with various cross-chain transfer methods and governance mechanisms.

Findings

Compatible with centralized and decentralized gateways

Enhances wrapped tokens liquidity across multiple chains

Flexible implementation within or across blockchain ecosystems

Abstract

This paper discusses the issues with liquidity that inhibit adoption of so-called wrapped tokens, i.e. digital assets issued in one blockchain ecosystem (origin) with representation in other blockchain networks (destination), and an incentive model and a governance mechanism for solving these issues are suggested. The proposed liquidity model called Graviton can be implemented both within the framework of a single destination chain, or as a blockchain-agnostic solution combining various blockchain platforms together and providing liquidity to wrapped tokens in each of them. This model does not depend on how cross-chain transfer gateways are implemented, and can work with both centralized gates and bridges, or decentralized trustless gateways, as well as gateways based on oracle networks and threshold signatures.
