The premise
Every bridge is a promise that someone, somewhere, is still holding your asset. Distin removes the promise. Liquidity never leaves the chain it was minted on, settlement never waits on an outside validator, and the only thing you trust is the program you can read.
Bridged DeFi
vs native.
The difference is not a feature list. It is where your asset lives and who can move it while a trade is in flight.
