Syscoin 4.0 introduces a first-of-its-kind, two-way bridge to Ethereum. This allows Ethereum developers to move ERC20 tokens back and forth between the Ethereum network and Syscoin Platfom, where they can make use of the scalability and high-transaction-throughput that Syscoin offers. This is done using a unique, permissionless burn/mint process that moves a quantity of ERC20 tokens into a corresponding Syscoin Platform Token (SPT), which the user has created. The bridge makes it possible to maintain a presence on both the Syscoin network and Ethereum network.

Conversely, Syscoin developers can move an SPT into a user-generated ERC20 paired equivalent token, where they can harness powerful Ethereum features such as Smart Contracts. Ultimately, developers will be able to create bridges to other blockchains as required, offering optimum versatility, forward-compatibility, diversity and interoperability across the cryptosphere.
