# How it works

#### Catoshi bridges and products are simple, safe, and secure.

Our team and developers do all the heavy lifting to get your project safely bridged to any supported chain.

#### Things needed:

* Liquidity for destination chain
* Graphics Pack for User Interface
* 1/2 payment to start development

#### Process:

* Once 1/2 payment is received the team gets started
* User Interface design is started for UI integration or the-crossing.io integration
* AWS Server is started and all security settings are dialed in
* Current contract is audited and evaluated for bridge vulnerabilities
* New chain contract for destination chain is written and audited
* Bridge node code is launched on test nets and audited
* Transaction history page is launched
* Team testing phase begins on test nets
* Smart Contracts and Liquidity is launched
* Community and team education is completed for preparation to launch on mainnets
* Bridge is launched and keys are turned over to project team
* Catoshi Team will assist with any ongoing maintenance but we will not have access to any tokens or bridge keys.

#### Your Success is our Success!

Catoshi has excellent and responsive customer support and will help with continued project success.
