AstralBeam Bridges Compliance Gap on Cross-Chain Asset Transfers

AstralBeam, a cross-chain bridge built by MAKE Group, is launching on Casper to address the challenge of moving compliant real-world assets between chains. The bridge connects Casper with Robinhood Chain, Base, Ethereum, and Polygon, allowing tokenized assets such as Netflix shares and gold to be transferred across networks.

The project aims to close the gap in compliance rules that currently prevents tokens from leaving their original chain. AstralBeam's unique design uses a messaging layer built on the ERC-7786 standard to carry compliance state between chains, ensuring that tokens are only transferred if they meet the necessary regulatory requirements.

The T-REX Ledger, a sovereign chain connected through Agglayer, holds the single reference copy of who may own what, in which jurisdiction, under which conditions. Connected chains settle independently while querying T-REX for eligibility.
