#### Introduction

Our journey into blockchain interoperability has reached an exciting milestone. We've successfully created a proof-of-concept script that utilizes Allbridge Core to bridge assets between Stellar's Soroban and other blockchains like Binance Smart Chain (BSC). This development not only enhances Soroswap's capabilities but also aligns with future advancements in the blockchain ecosystem, paving the way for seamless asset transfers and improved user experience.

#### Advancing with Allbridge Core

Previously, we explored Allbridge Classic to bridge Stellar with other blockchains. However, with the advent of Allbridge Core, featuring full support for Soroban, our approach has evolved. Allbridge Core offers advanced bridging capabilities, enabling seamless asset transfers across multiple networks. This upgrade is crucial for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of our platform as we continue to innovate and grow.

#### Our New Integration

The latest script showcases how to bridge USDT and USDC between Soroban and BSC. This integration demonstrates our capability to leverage Allbridge Core's features effectively. Key components of this integration include:

- **SDK Initialization**: Setting up Allbridge Core SDK with custom RPC URLs for supported blockchains.
- **Chain and Token Details**: Retrieving information about supported chains and tokens, focusing on BSC and Soroban.
- **Transaction Execution**: Bridging assets between BSC and Soroban, with robust error handling and transaction confirmations.

#### Proof of Concept

This proof-of-concept script successfully demonstrates the bridging of 1 USDC from Soroban to 1 USDT on BSC, and vice versa. Here’s an overview of the process:

1. **Bridging from Soroban to BSC**:
   - Initializes the transaction parameters.
   - Executes the transaction, handles potential errors, and confirms the transaction on the blockchain.
   
2. **Bridging from BSC to Soroban**:
   - Sets up the necessary permissions and allowances.
   - Executes the bridge, confirms the transaction, and ensures trust lines on Soroban.

The script also includes error handling and transaction confirmations to ensure reliability and consistency, which are critical for maintaining user trust and platform stability.

#### Detailed Script Overview

For those interested in the technical specifics, here is a brief overview of the script components:

- **SDK Initialization**: The Allbridge Core SDK is initialized with custom RPC URLs for supported blockchains, including BSC and Soroban.
- **Token Details Retrieval**: Detailed information about the supported chains and tokens is retrieved, with a focus on BSC and Soroban.
- **Bridging Operations**: The script handles the bridging of tokens, including setting up trust lines on Soroban when needed. It manages errors and confirms transactions across chains to ensure reliability.
- **Monitoring and Testing**: The script includes functionality for monitoring transaction statuses and testing the bridging process, ensuring that each step is executed correctly.

The full implementation is available in our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/soroswap/allbridge-implementation), inviting the community to explore, collaborate, and contribute to our ongoing efforts.

#### Future Prospects

While immediate implementation of Allbridge Core in Soroswap is not planned, this proof-of-concept lays the groundwork for future integration. As the blockchain landscape continues to evolve, we are committed to exploring and adopting cutting-edge technologies to enhance our platform's capabilities. This strategic patience allows us to align with the most advanced and supported technologies, ensuring our initiatives are future-proof.

Our exploration of Allbridge Core with Soroban marks a significant step forward in our interoperability efforts. As we continue to refine and expand our capabilities, we remain excited about the future possibilities this technology brings to Soroswap and the broader blockchain ecosystem.

#### Conclusion

The integration of Allbridge Core with Soroban represents a significant advancement in our quest for blockchain interoperability. By leveraging the latest features of Allbridge Core, we can now bridge assets between Soroban and other blockchains like BSC more efficiently and reliably. This development not only enhances Soroswap's capabilities but also sets the stage for future innovations in the blockchain space. We invite the community to join us in this exciting journey, exploring the vast potential of blockchain technology together.
