Cross-chain transfers

Bridges move value between networks. Check both networks, the token representation and the extra risks.

Source and destination

Confirm the exact source chain, destination chain and recipient address format. A similar token name does not mean two assets are interchangeable.

Token representation

Some bridges lock an asset and issue a representation elsewhere. The destination token may depend on bridge contracts and reserves, as well as the original asset.

Following a transfer

Record the source transaction and check the destination separately. Fees, confirmations and completion times can differ between chains. A confirmed source transaction alone does not establish delivery.
