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.
