                              ▼
                        ┌──────────────┐
                        │  Validators  │
                        │  / Relayers  │
                        └──────────────┘
```

#### Components

1. **Lockbox Contract** (ChainID 138)
   - Locks tokens on source chain
   - Emits lock events
   - Handles unlocks

2. **Inbox Contract** (Destination Chain)
   - Receives bridge messages
   - Mints/burns tokens
   - Validates messages

3. **Bridge Router**
   - Routes messages between chains
   - Validates transactions
   - Manages liquidity

4. **Relayer Network**
   - Monitors lock events
   - Submits unlock transactions
   - Provides redundancy

#### Implementation Steps

1. **Deploy Contracts**:
   ```bash
   # Deploy Lockbox on ChainID 138
   forge script script/bridge/DeployLockbox.s.sol --rpc-url $RPC_URL_138
   
   # Deploy Inbox on destination chain
   forge script script/bridge/DeployInbox.s.sol --rpc-url $DEST_RPC
   ```

2. **Configure Bridge**:
   - Set up relayer network
   - Configure message routing
   - Set up monitoring

3. **Security Audit**:
   - Conduct security audit
   - Fix identified issues
   - Deploy audited contracts

4. **Testing**:
   - Test bridge functionality
   - Test edge cases
   - Test security scenarios
