Every Existing Tokenized Asset on Every Chain

Today, we're launching the beta of a new protocol that makes every existing tokenized asset automatically transferable to every chain, even if it doesn't exist there yet - powered by LayerZero.

Assets with no boundaries

A traditional bridge requires that the token being transferred already exists on both chains and, most often, that it already has liquidity on that chain. These requirements are a blocker for thousands of assets and their holders.

Our idea is different.

How it works

First, powered by LayerZero, we enable the transfer of any token to any chain, and when it is the first transfer to a given destination chain, it will be dynamically created there. On every chain where this token lands, it receives the same address.

From day one, we will also provide Omnichain Explorer, where you can find information about the activity of a given token on each network: supply, inbound and outbound volume, and more.

Secondly, in traditional bridging, the availability and multichain strategy of a given token depends solely on its team, which must first officially deploy it to the second chain and, most often, also provide liquidity.

At Omnisea, we believe that ownership and usability should not be limited to a specific ecosystem. Our protocol is completely permissionless, allowing any holder of any token to initiate a transfer to any chain.

We don't charge a percentage fee, so under normal protocol operation each representation is designed to remain redeemable 1:1 on the original chain.

Furthermore, we support multi-hop transfers, for example Base to Polygon to Tempo to Base. Throughout this process, the protocol is designed to preserve 1:1 backing on the origin chain, while the representation shares the same contract address on all destination chains on which it was dynamically created.

All transferred tokens retain their original properties: name, symbol, decimals, owner address and, in the case of NFT tokens, contract and token-level metadata and royalty.

Importantly, the protocol itself is fully non-custodial and trust-minimized. Adding support for a new network only uses an Omnisea bridge route whose peer is immutable once configured, so users can verify the route and the bridge code before relying on it.

There are no admin withdrawal functions for locked user assets and no admin halt function for bridging routes. Once a peer route is configured, it cannot be replaced with a different route by an admin. Thanks to this combination of features, holders and teams can use the protocol without requiring action from the original token issuer.

Use cases

Omnisea use cases across holders, teams, chains, issuers, builders, and market makers

For Holders & Markets

Omnisea gives holders the ability to move their assets to new chains without waiting for the original team to deploy there. If a token, NFT, RWA, or other tokenized asset exists on one supported chain, a holder can initiate its transfer to another supported chain, even if it has never existed there before.

For markets, this creates a new source of asset discovery and demand formation. Assets can appear on new chains organically as holders move them, allowing liquidity providers, traders, and applications to respond to real user demand rather than waiting for coordinated expansion plans.

For Teams

Token teams can use Omnisea as a permissionless multichain layer without having to manually deploy contracts, coordinate infrastructure, or provide liquidity on every new network. Their assets can naturally expand to new ecosystems as holders and markets reveal demand.

For Chains

New chains need assets, users, and applications. Omnisea gives them a permissionless asset onboarding layer, allowing holders to bring existing fungible and non-fungible assets into their ecosystem without requiring official deployments from every token team.

For Issuers

RWA issuers can use Omnisea to extend the reach of tokenized assets across multiple ecosystems without managing deployments on every chain. Investors and applications can access RWAs wherever demand emerges, while the assets remain canonically backed and redeemable to their origin chain.

For Builders

DeFi applications are often limited by the assets that already exist on their chain. Omnisea expands the available asset universe by making long-tail tokens, RWAs, NFTs, community assets, and protocol tokens transferable to new networks.

For Market Makers

Market makers and liquidity providers can discover assets arriving on new chains before deep liquidity exists there. Omnisea Explorer makes it possible to track supply, inbound and outbound activity, and emerging demand across networks.
