The crypto space is composed of many different blockchain networks, with each one having its own ecosystem, features and particularities. Moving funds from one chain to the other is getting increasingly common, as users explore different services and opportunities.
While bridging cryptocurrencies sounds easy in principle, it can quickly get complicated in practice. That's why we have developed our own bridging service to offer the simplest way possible to transfer funds from one chain to the other, and we show you below how it works.
When using our bridge service, you can move cryptocurrencies between the following networks using any of your self-custodial wallets:
The cost of bridging cryptocurrencies between two chains is simple: a small percentage is taken on the amount of funds being transferred. In our case, this fee is 0.5%.
Please note that we have an exception for bridging USDC across networks, which only costs 0.1%.

A bridge is a service that helps you move cryptocurrencies across different blockchains. To use a bridge, you connect your wallet to it, you send it funds from blockchain A and it sends you back funds on blockchain B.
The mechanism of a bridge is quite simple, when it receives from a user a given crypto on a given network, it locks it (or even destroys it) and unlocks or mints the desired cryptocurrency on the target blockchain and sends it to the user's wallet on that chain, minus a transaction fee.
