xGov proposal 165: Messina.one bids to build an NFT bridge between Algorand and six EVM networks

Messina.one submitted xGov proposal 165 to build a bridge for non-fungible tokens between Algorand and six EVM-based networks: Ethereum, Polygon, Base, Optimism, Arbitrum, and Avalanche. The proposal includes a new NFT standard designed to ensure the exclusivity of a single unique token during the transfer process, with an estimated completion time of 10 to 12 weeks and a required funding amount of 300,000 ALGO.

The new standard aims to guarantee that only one unique NFT exists at any point during a cross-network transfer, addressing a common duplication problem in bridged token workflows.
