<h1>Polkadot <> Kusama Bridge</h1>
<p>
Our bridge connects two parachains - Kusama Bridge Hub and Polkadot Bridge Hub. Messages that
are sent over bridge have XCM format and we are using existing architecture to dispatch them.
Since both Polkadot, Kusama and their parachains already have means to exchange XCM messages
within the same consensus system (HRMP, VMP, ...), it means that we are able to connect all those
chains with our bridge.
</p>
<p>
In our architecture, the lane that is used to relay messages over the bridge is determined by
the XCM source and destinations. So e.g. bridge between Asset Hubs Polkadot and Kusama (and opposite direction)
will use the lane 00000000, bridge between some other Polkadot Parachain and some other Kusama Parachain
will use the lane 00000001 and so on.
