\section{Teleport Bridge Protocol}

\label{sec:teleport}

\subsection{Instant Transfer}

Teleport~\cite{lux-teleport-protocol} enables sub-second token transfers by leveraging shared validator sets:

\begin{algorithm}[t]
\caption{Teleport Transfer (ZOO $\to$ LUX)}
\label{alg:teleport}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\STATE User submits Teleport request on Zoo L2: burn $x$ ZOO
\STATE Zoo validators attest to the burn (Quasar finality: 10ms)
\STATE Attestation forwarded to Lux P-Chain
\STATE P-Chain verifies attestation (shared validator set)
\STATE Lux C-Chain mints $x \cdot r$ wZOO (where $r$ is the exchange rate)
\STATE Total latency: $\sim$340ms
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

Teleport is faster than Warp because it exploits the shared validator set between Lux L0 and Zoo L2---the same validators secure both chains, so cross-chain attestation is a local operation rather than a network message.

\subsection{Supported Pairs}

\begin{tabular}{lccc}
\toprule
\textbf{Pair} & \textbf{Teleport} & \textbf{Warp} & \textbf{Median Latency} \\
\midrule
ZOO $\leftrightarrow$ LUX & \checkmark & \checkmark & 340ms (Teleport) \\
ZOO $\leftrightarrow$ wETH & $\times$ & \checkmark & 1.2s (Warp) \\
ZOO $\leftrightarrow$ BLG & $\times$ & \checkmark & 2.4s (Relay) \\
ZINF $\leftrightarrow$ BINF & $\times$ & \checkmark & 2.4s (Relay) \\
Model NFT & $\times$ & \checkmark & 1.2s (Warp) \\
