Token Portals: Bridging the Great Chain Divide
summary
Polaris promises one app to trade any token across chains by aggregating aggregators (Rango, Skip, Jupiter, zerx, Alloy) and avoiding per-bridge onchain contracts. It builds a Polaris autopilot that derives a new private key from a wallet signature, stores it in-browser to sign background steps, runs a native gas station, and uses private mempool routing for MEV resistance. Demo shows an automated multi-step route (Solana USDC → CCTP → IBC → Osmosis → oBridge → TON) completing in minutes and a privacy mode that routes swaps through Namada/Penumbra vaults.
