Architecture & Bridging

Now that you have Data Adapters fetching information and Substrate Nodes aggregating it into blocks, this section explains the Architecture of how that data is bridged to and verified on Cardano.

This architecture has two main components:

1. On-Chain Architecture (Aiken): The verification, datum storage, and settlement layer on Cardano.
2. Off-Chain Architecture (TypeScript): The bridge service that listens to the Substrate network and submits signed payloads to Cardano.
