New Standard Enables Native Token Operation Across 10 Blockchain Networks Without Bridge Protocols

LONDON, 28th Jan 2026 – Bazaars today announced the launch of ORC-55, a multi-chain cryptocurrency token standard designed to address interoperability challenges in the blockchain industry. The company’s BZR utility token has been upgraded to become the first token to implement the ORC-55 standard.

According to Hacken’s 2024 Web3 Security Report, the cryptocurrency industry experienced $2.9 billion in losses during 2024. Bridge protocols, which facilitate token transfers between blockchains by locking assets on one network and issuing equivalent versions on another, represented a portion of these losses. ORC-55 offers an alternative approach by enabling tokens to operate natively across 10 blockchain networks: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Base, zkSync Era, Optimism, Cronos, and Mantle.

“We’ve taken a fundamentally different approach to how tokens can work across multiple blockchains,” said Raja Al-Khatib, Co-Founder and CEO of Bazaars. “Instead of requiring users to move tokens between networks through bridges, ORC-55 tokens are already present on all supported chains. Users can interact with their tokens wherever it makes the most sense for them at any given time.”

The standard is designed to support the company’s decentralized marketplace operations across 87 countries. For crypto-commerce applications, users can choose to transact on whichever blockchain offers preferable transaction fees or processing speeds at a given time. Because ORC-55 tokens exist natively across all supported networks, a user holding tokens on one blockchain can interact with those same tokens on any other supported blockchain without requiring bridge protocol conversions.

The ORC-55 standard includes several technical features. The standard does not include administrative functions after deployment, meaning no entity can modify the contract or create additional tokens post-launch. The token supply can only decrease through programmatic burns, with supply changes tracked across all supported networks. The standard implements allowance mechanisms designed to address certain transaction timing considerations. Token metadata is stored on-chain rather than relying on external servers.

The blockchain interoperability market is projected to grow from $0.3 billion in 2023 to $1.0 billion by 2028, according to research published by MarketsandMarkets in July 2023. This growth is attributed to increasing demand for cross-chain cryptocurrency transactions and the expansion of blockchain-based commerce applications.

The ORC-55 standard and BZR token implementation launched today across all 10 supported blockchain networks. BZR is currently listed on MEXC, BitMart, and Coinstore exchanges. The token is compatible with Trust Wallet, MetaMask, Trezor, and Ledger wallet platforms. Bazaars reports it is in discussions with additional platforms regarding ORC-55 integration.

Bazaars plans to release the ORC-55 technical specification as open-source in Q2 2025. The company states this will enable other projects to evaluate and potentially implement the standard.

Bazaars operates a decentralized marketplace platform utilizing blockchain technology for peer-to-peer commerce. The platform uses BZR tokens for transactions. Technical documentation and additional information are available at https://bazaars.io or via Twitter @BazaarsHQ.

United Kingdom, 28th Jan 2026 – VestaScan today announced the launch of vestascan.com, a real world asset token explorer and issuer workspace designed to support token deployment, token listing pages, and controlled access to due diligence documentation through private data rooms.

VestaScan is built for asset teams that want a direct workflow from token creation to a public facing token page that can be shared with potential investors, partners, and stakeholders. Users connect a wallet, deploy a token, and manage access permissions for a dedicated data room associated with that token. Each token page can also provide an on-chain explorer link alongside the related documentation environment.

“Private markets need better execution, not more complexity,” said the company’s chief executive. “VestaScan is designed to give issuers a clear path from token deployment to a structured token page and controlled document access, so serious asset teams can present opportunities with more transparency and operational discipline.”

Platform overview

VestaScan combines core issuer tooling and discovery into one environment:

• Free token deployment workflow for issuers creating tokens through a wallet based flow
• Token listing pages designed for sharing, with optional links to on-chain explorer views
• Private data rooms connected to each token, with issuer controlled access settings

• Verification and certification options for issuers that want an additional trust layer displayed on the token listing

   

• 

VestaScan is positioned as an infrastructure layer for real world asset tokenization, supporting use cases such as real estate tokenization, private equity tokenization, and private credit tokenization. The platform is designed to help reduce fragmented documentation workflows and improve how issuers present and manage tokenized private market offerings.

VestaScan is a technology platform and does not provide legal, tax, or investment advice. Token issuers remain responsible for their token, disclosures, investor eligibility, and compliance obligations.
