Any party can be an operator of the StakerBridge protocol. That party can deploy the open-source StakerBridge software, configure the send and receive reservoirs, and optionally, designate a fee for a successful bridging of tokens. In order for a bridge to occur, a reservoir of tokens must reside on both the originating and receiving networks, and the operator is responsible for facilitating tokens in reservoirs on both sides of the bridge. Should insufficient tokens be available for the bridge, the protocol always gracefully fails and returns the funds to the originating address of the party.
