Security Model
Connext’s underlying core security model follows the same approach as other locking systems like HTLCs. All interactions across blockchains are provided with 1:1 bridging of assets (e.g. USDC on ETH to USDC on Polygon).
Barring a protocol hack or a user error, users cannot lose funds in the Connext system.
Transfers will either be routed through the “fast liquidity” track immediately or will be subject to the 30-minute lasting “slow liquidity” mechanism provided via Nomad.
