ERC20 Gateway Framework

The ERC-20 <-> Waves Platform Gateway Framework enables developers to establish bidirectional bridges between Ethereum-based ERC-20 tokens and the Waves blockchain. It facilitates cross-chain asset transfers by creating proxy tokens on Waves that represent the original ERC-20 assets, allowing users to move value between the two ecosystems. ## Key Features - **Tunnel-Based Transfers** — Users define temporary tunnels linking an Ethereum source address to a Waves destination address for one-time transfers. - **Automated Token Swapping** — Automatically converts ERC-20 tokens sent to the gateway address into equivalent proxy tokens on the Waves blockchain, and vice versa. - **Configurable Fees** — Gateway operators can set custom fees for both Ethereum and Waves sides of the transaction. - **Web Interface** — Provides a local web page on port 8080 for managing and establishing transfer tunnels. - **Flexible Node Configuration** — Supports connecting to various Ethereum node providers (including local IPC) and Waves networks (testnet, stagenet, mainnet). ## Philosophy The framework prioritizes simplicity and configurability, allowing anyone to deploy a functional cross-chain gateway with minimal setup while placing full operational responsibility on the gateway owner.
