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.
