What Liminal Is and Is Not

Liminal is not a bridge. It does not custody assets, manage liquidity, or control token supply. Asset movement between chains is handled by existing bridging mechanisms, not by Liminal itself.

Liminal does not introduce synthetic, wrapped, or proxy representations. Tokens remain native to their respective chains: SPL tokens on Solana and ERC-20 tokens on Base.

Liminal is a deployment standard. It defines how tokens are deterministically deployed and represented across chains. By standardizing deployment semantics, Liminal removes the need for bespoke cross-chain setups and manual configuration.

On top of this deployment standard, Liminal provides a routing abstraction that enables token movement once representations exist. Routing is optional and stateless. Deployment guarantees remain valid regardless of routing success or failure.

In short, Liminal defines how tokens exist across chains, not how value is custodied or governed.
