Let’s talk about the really interesting stuff! Today, we will take a closer look at what to expect from the upcoming Pantos Prototype as a Service node provider. 
For the beta-testing phase, we will provide a command-line interface for Ethereum and BSC tokens, augmented with service node interaction functions.
Any token that implements the “Pantos Base Token” function can be registered to allow cross-chain transfers between the registered blockchains. Interested projects can already reach out to us in order to be amongst the first to receive more information.
To initiate a cross-chain transfer the main parameters are source and destination blockchain, destination address, token symbol and transfer amount. By default, the service node with the lowest fees is chosen.
Service nodes are blockchain-registered web services that allow interaction with the Pantos network without the need for native blockchain coins. They take a PAN fee in exchange for their work.
For now, the requirements to register a service node essentially boil down to having some native blockchain coins and being able to open ports publicly on the internet on the machine running the service node.
The chosen service node will process the signed transfer. It consists of burning on the source chain, followed by validation and minting on the destination chain. Validation is our mechanism for the destination chain to gain knowledge about events on the source chain.
In order to make sure that Pantos cross-chain validation can not be tampered with, this sensible action depends on input from the Pantos validator. In our next tweets in this series, we will talk more about the validator being used for the beta version.
