## Avicenne "North Bridge" Qubic to Solana: Cross-Platform Breakthrough

After five years of development in Paris and Dubai, Avicenne Studio has completed a rare technological feat: connecting Qubic — a blockchain focused on distributed computing and AI — with Solana, one of the most vibrant DeFi ecosystems. This **Qubic Bridge** project not only opens liquidity for the Qubic community but also demonstrates how a modern cross-chain bridge must be designed.

## Technical History: From Fee-Preserving Token Holders to Multi-Function Bridges

**The first milestone** for Avicenne occurred in March 2025, when, together with the Wormhole and Lingo teams, they successfully transferred a token from Coinbase's (Base layer 2) to Solana **while preserving transfer fees** — something traditional bridges cannot do.

Why is this important? Because modern tokens are not just "digital money." They have their own economies: transaction fees redistributed to holders, automatic burning mechanisms, or decentralized oracles. When bridging through old protocols like Wormhole, all these logics are lost — tokens are "wrapped" into a standardized layer, losing their economic essence.

**Avicenne modified the core Wormhole protocol** to allow these mechanisms to continue functioning normally after bridging. This achievement paves the way for a smarter generation of bridges, not only transferring assets but also carrying their entire "economic DNA."

## Qubic and Solana: Two Worlds Needing Connection

**Qubic** ($QUBIC) is what? It’s a layer-1 blockchain built to handle **complex on-chain computations**, not for finance but for **real computing**: physics simulations, decentralized machine learning, or decentralized oracles. It uses Proof-of-Work and is designed to optimize for AI and real-time workloads.

The problem? Qubic **has never been connected** to any major DeFi ecosystem. It’s a "tech island," with assets and data isolated, giving users and developers no reason to engage.

**Solana** (SOL) is the opposite: one of the fastest blockchains with **huge liquidity**, near-zero costs, and a mature DeFi ecosystem with thousands of dApps. Connecting Qubic to Solana means:

- **Qubic holders** can trade QUBIC on major DEXs like Raydium, Orca, Jupiter, or stake on Solana protocols
- **Solana developers** gain access to a powerful off-chain computing layer, supporting AI/DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) use cases
- **Solana DeFi ecosystem** is enriched with a specialized computing tool

## Technical Architecture: Three Pillars of a Modern Bridge

Avicenne designed Qubic Bridge based on **three principles**: security, integration capability, and scalability.

### 1. Absolute Security

Bridges are prime targets for hackers. Ronin, Wormhole, Poly Network — all have been breached. Avicenne defends with:

- **Multi-signature quorum** on all critical transactions, not relying on a single operator
- **Isolated bots** in a private cloud environment (VPC) with keys managed via HSM/KMS — technology used by banks
- **Slashing mechanisms**: operators must "stake" funds; misbehavior results in penalties
- **Open-source code** for community independent audits
- **Rollback mechanisms**: if anomalies are detected, the system can **revert to a safe previous state** without redoing all transactions

**What is rollback?** It’s the system’s ability to revert to a "safe point" earlier, like "undo" in a game or software. If a problem is detected, instead of assets being lost permanently, the bridge can pause and restore the last stable state. This is a crucial but rare feature in other bridges.

### 2. Native Integration on Solana

A useless bridge if transferred tokens cannot be used within the target ecosystem. Most bridges create "wrapped tokens" — copies incompatible with major protocols.

Instead, **Qubic Bridge uses SPL (Solana Program Library)** and the Token-2022 standard, allowing QUBIC on Solana to operate as a truly native token. It can:

- Interact directly with AMMs (Automated Market Maker)
- Be used as collateral in lending protocols
- Participate in staking on Solana dApps

No intermediary wrapping layer, no loss of compatibility. Each transaction maintains full verification history, ensuring transparency.

### 3. Modular, Extensible Architecture

A bridge is not a fixed product. Protocols evolve, new chains emerge, user needs change. Qubic Bridge is designed with a **modular architecture**:

- **Relayers can be added** to support other chains (Base, Polygon, Arbitrum) without rewriting everything
- **Independent Policy Engine**: update validation rules without redeploying the bridge
- **Open-source code** for community contributions and audits

Long-term goal: Qubic becomes a **multi-chain computing hub**, where all assets can circulate safely.

## Avicenne: Who’s Behind?

Avicenne is not an ordinary studio. **Five years of experience**, two offices (Paris and Dubai), senior engineers who have worked across all major chains (Ethereum, Solana, EVM-compatible).

What do these achievements say?

- **Usual**: an aggregation protocol
- **Lingo**: pioneering cross-chain architecture
- **Linea** (Consensys): Ethereum layer 2

Altogether, these projects have **TVL in the billions** (billions of dollars). And more importantly: **no security incidents have ever occurred**.

In an industry where billions have been lost due to code errors, this is significant.

## Market Context: The Cross-Chain Race

The cross-chain market is **booming**. According to DefiLlama (October 2025), total TVL of bridges is around **8-10 billion dollars**, despite past hacks.

**Main competitors:**
- Wormhole: 2.5B TVL, multi-chain
- Stargate (LayerZero): 1.8B TVL, EVM-focused
- Axelar, Synapse, Celer: specialized solutions

But most bridges only "wrap" assets generally. **Avicenne goes further**: it designs architecture that preserves the economic logic of the object being transferred — validation, rules, signatures, execution constraints — rather than standardizing everything.

That’s the difference between a simple vehicle and a smart, programmable one.

## Future: Specialized Multi-Chain

**Qubic Bridge** exemplifies a larger trend: the future of blockchain is not single-chain but **multi-chain**, with each blockchain having a specific role (computing, DeFi, gaming), connected by robust bridges.

Implications:
- **Qubic** gains liquidity access on Solana, increasing visibility
- **Solana** is enriched with an AI/DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) computing layer
- **Developers** get an open-source technical template for learning

Bridges become **key infrastructure**, where blockchain specialization can coexist and complement each other.

## Launch Timeline and Key Points

As of late October 2025, **Qubic Bridge has no official launch date**. However, the technical achievements Avicenne has demonstrated (fee-preserving token transfer, modular architecture, multi-layer security) show this is not a "promising" project but a real development.

**Bridge risks:** code bugs, centralized relays, smart contract hacks. Always verify audits and reputation before use.

With **solid achievements** and **rare cross-chain expertise**, Avicenne has the potential to make Qubic Bridge a major technical breakthrough.
