To safely and conveniently streamline interaction with Szaldi, a client has been implemented in Rust which abstracts away the complexity of querying the chain state and crafting compliant transactions on both networks. It is packaged as a simple-to-use CLI application whose source code can be viewed .
In order to mint your Mel coins as tokens on Ethereum, you must first lock your coins up on the Mel network and then send a proof of the lock transaction to the Ethereum network. Szaldi-cli
takes care of abstracting the entire process away using an interactive CLI session which will guide you through the bridging process, one step at a time.
To move your assets from Ethereum back to Mel, you must choose a coin to unlock, burn the equivalent amount on the Ethereum network, and provide the Mel network with a proof of this burn. To automate this process, we can use an interactive Szaldi-cli
session which will safely walk you through the process.
As we can see, the bridging process to and from Mel has been made as convenient as possible for end users. Now that we know how to interact with Szaldi using Szaldi-cli
, let's take a deeper look at how everything actually works in the next section.
