Bridge

Overview

Planck Tunnel is the interoperability layer of the Planck ecosystem, enabling cross-chain access to compute infrastructure and seamless liquidity movement between over 30 blockchain ecosystems.

Powered by VIA Labs' proven bridge protocol, Planck Tunnel is the first compute-focused interoperability solution for AI and DePIN workloads, extending Planck's GPU infrastructure beyond Planck₁ to the entire modular Planck₀ ecosystem.


How It Works

Planck Tunnel combines token interoperability, stablecoin rails, and compute access into one seamless experience:

  • Bridge Functionality by VIA Labs

    • Connects Planck₁ to Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Cosmos, Polkadot, NEAR, and more

    • Enables native transfers of $PLANCK, USDC, and other ecosystem tokens

    • Supports generalized message passing for smart contract calls and app logic across chains

  • Stablecoin Rails

    • Native support for USDC via VIA Labs’ Circle partnership

    • Enables enterprise-grade fiat-to-chain settlement across all Planck services

    • Simplifies AI app monetization with fiat-native billing

  • Modular Expansion

    • When new Layer-1s are built on Planck₀, they inherit Planck Tunnel by default

    • Each L1 gains automatic access to GPU compute, shared liquidity, and the bridge

    • Plug-and-play for cross-chain DePIN, inference agents, and data oracles


Why It Matters

  • For AI Developers: Launch dApps on any Planck-compatible chain and still access Planck’s GPU cloud — even from Ethereum or Solana.

  • For L1 Builders: Launch your chain on Planck₀ and instantly gain multi-chain liquidity, stablecoin rails, and AI infra access without additional engineering.

  • For Institutions & DAOs: Deploy compute-heavy apps (LLMs, on-chain inference, DePIN sensors) without being locked to a single ecosystem or token.


Security & Audits

  • Planck Tunnel uses audited bridge architecture from VIA Labs

  • Advanced zk-proofs and multi-sig validators for secure asset transfers

  • Robust fallback and circuit breaker mechanisms across all routes


Future Use Cases

  • Cross-chain AI Agent calls with compute state sharing

  • Shared liquidity across GPU slot NFT markets

  • Cross-chain access to Planck AI Studio for model deployment

  • Compute arbitrage between chains


Stack Integration

Planck Tunnel is fully integrated with:

  • Planck₁ (GPU-native Layer-1)

  • Planck₀ (Layer-0 for modular AI chains)

  • Planck Console (bare-metal GPU access)

  • AI Studio (low-code model orchestration)

  • Planck Bridge UI (coming soon)


Designed With VIA Labs

Planck Tunnel is built in collaboration with VIA Labs, a cross-chain messaging protocol and trusted Circle partner.

VIA’s infrastructure already powers major dApps and cross-chain DAOs, and its integration enables Planck to offer enterprise-grade, USDC-native interoperability across the AI and DePIN stack.
