# Cross-Chain Cryptographic assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT stablecoins can be mapped onto AIA Chain through cross-chain bridges: assets are locked on the original public chain, and a corresponding amount is generated on AIA Chain. AIA Chain will also encourage developers to provide more decentralized cross-chain solutions. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
