Zink

A Multi-purposeSVM Network

Zink is a general-purpose SVM network and bridge stack for building programs and connecting environments. This documentation helps you understand the platform, start building, and explore the bridge.

Compatibility

SVM compatibility, independent control

Zink keeps the SVM developer and operator model intact while giving builders an independent network, configurable fees, predictable infrastructure, and a dedicated upgrade cadence. Standard tooling - CLI, wallet adapters, Starframe, web3.js - works by pointing at a Zink RPC endpoint. When Zink differs from upstream defaults, documentation calls that out directly.

Runtime

SVM runtime

Same virtual machine, account model, and sBPF program execution model.

Tooling

Standard CLI

Use the standard CLI, Starframe, and existing SDKs. Point them at a Zink RPC endpoint.

Bridge

Token transfers

Transfer supported assets through the Zink Bridge with operator-managed, on-chain tracking.

Purpose

General purpose

Look up key terms, concepts, and system components in the Zink reference.

Additional Bridge Details

Trust & Operation

The Zink Bridge is not a trustless, permissionless protocol. It is an operator-managed system that locks tokens on one chain and mints or releases corresponding tokens on the other. Transfers require authority signatures and are tracked through on-chain state accounts. The bridge is designed for explicitly configured token routes and applications that need auditable cross-network settlement.

See the Security & Limitations page for a clear description of trust assumptions and known constraints.

Essential Information
