Any token. Any chain. No permission required.

We built SkyBridge because we believed your assets should go wherever you want them to. That hasn’t changed. Everything else has.

Where We’ve Been

We know some of you have been wondering what’s going on with SkyBridge, and that’s a fair question.

Last year, the technology we built for SkyBridge V2 was expanded into a larger product vision under a different brand. That team is making great progress, and we love what they’re building. We think you will, too. Meanwhile, we’ve quietly resumed SkyBridge development in-house since January, rebuilding the bridge from the ground up on Chainlink CCIP. What you’re reading today is the result.

We didn’t make noise about it. We just got to work. And now we’re about ready to drop something big.

SkyBridge V2 is a completely rebuilt cross-chain bridge with support for 10 networks, every standard ERC-20 token and NFT, a single flat fee, and zero permissions required. It’s the only permissionless gateway into the Chainlink CCIP ecosystem and you don’t need to be a developer to use it.

We’ll be sharing the official launch date on our social channels soon. In the meantime, here’s what we’ve been building.

The Problem Nobody Else Will Solve

Crosschain bridges in 2026 are still gatekept. The major bridges only support a curated list of tokens decided by committees, foundations, and centralized approval processes. If your token isn’t on the list, you don’t get to play. If you’re a smaller project, a DAO treasury, or just someone who wants to move an asset from one chain to another, you’re waiting in line for permission that may never come.

SkyBridge was designed around a different idea: your tokens are yours, and you should be able to take them anywhere. Not just the tokens that made it onto someone else’s approved list. Every standard ERC-20. Every NFT. From any supported chain to any other. For a flat fee that doesn’t change based on how much you’re moving.

We didn’t wait for anyone’s permission to build this. We just created the solution.

V1 vs V2 at a Glance

SkyBridge V1 proved the concept. It brought permissionless token bridging to Base, enabled NFT transfers, and introduced Supersonic withdrawals to bypass Optimism’s 7-day delay. Over 100 tokens were deployed to Base without any permissions required. But V1 had real limitations: it only supported Ethereum and Base, relied on Optimism’s centralized sequencer, required liquidity pools to power fast withdrawals, and multi-step transactions meant users had to come back hours or days later to finalize.

V2 is a different animal. Ten chains instead of two. Chainlink CCIP instead of Optimism. Single-transaction bridging instead of Prove-and-Finalize. No liquidity requirements. A flat fee model. Foxtails rewards for every bridge. And the same permissionless token support that made V1 special is now available across the entire CCIP ecosystem.

What’s New

The Only Permissionless Gateway to Chainlink CCIP

SkyBridge is the only way for any token to access Chainlink CCIP infrastructure without developer integration. Every other CCIP integration requires an SDK, custom code, and a development team. Ours requires a wallet and a click. If you’re a project without the resources to build a custom CCIP integration, a DAO looking to expand to new chains, or just a token holder who wants access to the most trusted cross-chain standard in the industry, SkyBridge is your only path onto that infrastructure.

Chainlink CCIP (Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol) is the most widely adopted standard for secure cross-chain messaging in DeFi. It has secured billions of dollars in transaction value, and it’s backed by the same decentralized oracle network that the biggest protocols in crypto already rely on. By building on CCIP, SkyBridge inherits that security directly. Every cross-chain message is validated by Chainlink’s decentralized node operators.

When you bridge a token through SkyBridge, that asset enters the Chainlink ecosystem: recognized, verifiable, and portable. And for projects that want to go further, SkyBridge opens a decentralized path toward official token verification and submission to the Chainlink CCIP token registry. Start permissionless today, formalize when you’re ready. No other platform offers this pipeline.

Here’s what building on CCIP means in practice:

• No more 7-day waits. The old Optimism withdrawal delay required users to wait a full week to move tokens back to Ethereum. CCIP validates transactions through its decentralized oracle network, not a centralized sequencer with a mandatory challenge period. Transfers complete in minutes.
• No more multi-step transactions. Bridging used to mean “Prove,” wait, then “Finalize.” With V2, it’s a single transaction. You send it, you’re done.
• No liquidity requirements. V1 needed capital reserves to power fast withdrawals through our Supersonic liquidity pools. CCIP’s architecture eliminates that dependency entirely. SkyBridge locks tokens on the source chain and mints a corresponding SkyToken on the destination via deterministic CREATE3 deployment. Same address, every chain, every time.

10 Networks at Launch

SkyBridge V2 will support the following networks at launch, with more on the way:

The architecture is modular, meaning that adding new CCIP-supported chains is a configuration change, not a rewrite. And because governance matters to us, AVI holders can vote on which chains SkyBridge expands to next through the Aviator DAO. The community decides where we go.

Four Rails, One Front Door

Under the hood, SkyBridge V2 operates a unified four-rail routing system through a single smart contract called the SkyBridgeEntryPoint. Users interact with one contract, approve tokens once, and pay one fee. The system determines the best route automatically. For the builders and the technically curious, here’s how it works:

Rail 1 - OP Standard Bridge. For ETH, WETH, and tokens on the Optimism token list. The legacy path, still available for users who prefer it.

Rail 2 - OP Custom Bridge. For AVI and factory-deployed tokens on Superchain L2s.

Rail 3 - Chainlink CCIP. The primary rail. Any standard ERC-20 or ERC-721 to any CCIP-supported chain. Permissionless token deployment, deterministic addressing, and full backward compatibility with existing tokens. This is where most of the action happens.

Rail 4 - Circle CCTP. Native USDC bridging via Circle’s Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol. When you bridge USDC through SkyBridge, you receive real, canonical USDC on the destination.

One approval. One fee. One contract. The EntryPoint handles the routing.

Flat Fee for Everyone

Every bridge transaction costs a small, fixed fee paid in the native asset of the chain you’re on: ETH on Ethereum, AVAX on Avalanche, BNB on BNB Chain, and so on. No percentage fees. No variable pricing. No hidden spreads.

This isn’t just a choice, it’s a necessity of being permissionless. When you support every standard ERC-20 without a whitelist, you can’t rely on price oracles to calculate percentage fees for tokens you’ve never seen before. A flat fee is the only model that works for truly open bridging. It also means we’re not penalizing larger transfers. The fee is the same whether you’re moving $100 or $10 million.

Fees are set per chain to account for differences in native asset prices and are adjustable as market conditions change. The exact amounts will be published at launch, but the model is what matters: a predictable, fixed cost that doesn’t scale with your transaction size.

That changes the math depending on who you are:

• For users - it’s simple and predictable. You know what you’re paying before you click. No surprises, no percentage taken out of your tokens on the other side.
• For projects - migrating your token to new chains doesn’t require writing code or paying proportional fees on your entire supply. Deploy to a new network through SkyBridge and your community can follow you there.
• For treasuries and funds - moving size doesn’t cost more. A flat rate means rebalancing across networks, migrating assets between chains, or consolidating positions is predictable and fixed. No percentage-based surprises on large transfers.
• For developers - build on top of SkyBridge. Integrate the API, let SkyBridge handle the cross-chain infrastructure, and focus on your product.

Permissionless by Design

This is the part that matters most to us.

SkyBridge V2 allows any standard ERC-20 token to be bridged to any supported chain, even if that token has never existed on the destination before. When you bridge a token for the first time, SkyBridge automatically deploys a SkyToken on the destination that mirrors the original. The deployed token preserves the original’s name, symbol, and decimals. No developer intervention. No whitelisting. No forms. You can just do things.

In simple terms: SkyBridge locks your original token on the source chain and mints a SkyToken on the destination. But it doesn’t stop there. CCIP is smart enough to handle the accounting in every direction: if you bridge that SkyToken forward to a third chain, it mints on the existing deployment. If you bridge back to the origin, it burns the SkyToken and unlocks your original. Lock-and-mint, burn-and-unlock, mint-and-burn, the system determines the right path automatically, secured end-to-end by Chainlink CCIP. For a deeper look at how CCIP works under the hood, check out Chainlink’s documentation.

Every SkyToken receives the same contract address regardless of which chain it’s deployed on, because the address is derived deterministically from the original token’s address and origin chain. Your bridged token is recognizable, verifiable, and consistent across every network it touches.

The same system works for ERC-721 NFTs. Bridge your NFT collection to a new chain and SkyBridge deploys a SkyNFT wrapper that preserves metadata, per-token URIs, and EIP-2981 royalty information. Your art, your royalties, your rules, your chains.

We call this Digital Asset Abstraction. It’s not a concept or a roadmap item. It’s a deployed, tested, and audited system running across 10 networks.

Earn While You Bridge

We recently introduced Foxtails as a way to get rewarded for using Aviator apps, and now, SkyBridge V2 is coming in for a landing. Every bridge transaction earns you Foxtails points: our ecosystem-wide loyalty system that rewards meaningful participation across everything Aviator builds.

Foxtails aren’t a token and they’re not tradeable. They’re a points system designed to recognize and reward the people who actually use the platform. The more you bridge, the more you earn.

The points you earn scale with what you do. Larger bridge transactions, longer staking commitments, and deeper engagement across the platform all earn more Foxtails. The same goes for Aviator Arcade. The type of activity, the time you spend, and the level of participation all factor in. The system is designed to reward meaningful contribution and dedication.

What can you do with them? Redeem Foxtails for exclusive drops, site badges, profile perks, digital collectibles, and even future real-world merchandise from The Hangar, our curated merch store featuring limited-edition pieces from featured artists around the world.

Foxtails also integrate deeply with Aviator Arcade. Playing games, publishing content, staking AVI, participating in governance, buying from the marketplace, all earns Foxtails. Bridging through SkyBridge is one of the core ways to accumulate them, and with V2’s expanded chain support, there are more opportunities to earn than ever.

Security

SkyBridge holds user assets in smart contracts, and that demands real accountability. We don’t take shortcuts here.

The foundation of SkyBridge V2’s security model is Chainlink CCIP itself. Every cross-chain message is validated by Chainlink’s decentralized oracle network, the same infrastructure securing billions in value across DeFi. We inherit that trust model directly. There’s no custom validator set to worry about, no centralized relayer to trust. The network that already protects the largest protocols in crypto is the same one protecting your bridge transactions.

On top of that foundation, we’ve built additional layers of protection:

• Two completed audits by Hacken. one of the most respected security firms in blockchain. Our contracts have been reviewed, tested, and hardened across multiple audit rounds. You can view our audit reports here.
• Multisig protection on every admin function. SkyBridge’s admin is a 5-of-7 Gnosis Safe. No single key can pause the bridge, upgrade a contract, or move funds. Every administrative action requires coordination among KYC-verified signers.
• Two-step smart contract upgrades. Contract upgrades require a proposal by one role and finalization by a separate multisig. No unilateral changes.
• 48-hour withdrawal timelocks on emergency fund recovery. Even in a worst-case scenario, the system enforces a mandatory cooling period before funds can be moved.

Aviator is privately owned, fully registered, and FinCEN-compliant. No venture capital pressure. An independent team building real infrastructure out of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The Bigger Picture

SkyBridge is the front door to the Aviator ecosystem, and V2 makes that door ten chains wide.

Aviator Arcade is live: a Web2.5 game platform and marketplace where developers publish games without hosting fees, KYC, or platform gatekeepers, and players compete for real prizes in skill-based competitions. Free games, daily and weekly leaderboards, a creative marketplace for digital content, and a growing library of titles from developers around the world. SkyBridge V2 makes Arcade fully chain-agnostic: bring your tokens from any supported network and jump in.

AVI staking is being integrated across our apps, rewarding holders who contribute to the platform with multipliers and incentives funded by DEX trading fees. The AVI token powers governance through the Aviator DAO, functions as Credits within Arcade competitions, and is used to pay network fees across the ecosystem.

For a deeper look at the full Aviator ecosystem, Arcade, SkyBridge, The Hangar, tokenomics, governance, and more, check out our updated Aviator Flightpaper. We’ll also be updating our documentation with the full V2 technical details in the coming weeks.

Freedom Isn’t just a Feature

Every bridge in this space was built around a list of rules about which tokens are allowed, which chains are supported, and who gets to decide. SkyBridge V2 was built without one.

Any token. Any chain. Any app. No code required. No developer permissions. No centralized token list standing between you and your assets. The only permissionless runway to Chainlink CCIP, with a flat fee, an open door, and Foxtails waiting on the other side.

We didn’t build SkyBridge because someone told us we could. We built it because no one can tell us we can’t.

SkyBridge V2 will initially launch on our current interface to get the new infrastructure into your hands as quickly as possible. A full UI redesign is already underway and will roll out in a follow-up update, rebuilt from the ground up to match the scale of what V2 can do.
