❓How does Bridge work?

Bridge

Bridge provides a native stablecoin bridging experience, enabling smooth cross-chain swaps between EVM and non-EVM blockchains.

Supported Blockchains

Bridge supports following blockchains: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, OP Mainnet, Base, Solana, Stellar, Tron.

Supported Tokens

Blockchain	Token
Ethereum	USDC, USDT
BNB Chain	USDT
Polygon	USDC, USDT
Arbitrum	USDC, USDT
Avalanche	USDC, USDT
OP Mainnet	USDC, USDT
Base	USDC
Solana	USDC
Stellar	USDC
Tron	USDT

Transfer Steps

To complete a transfer using the bridge, the user must follow these steps:

1. Connect your wallet by clicking the button

1. Choose preferable wallet

1. If you don't have Metamask, Phantom or tronlink, you can choose preferable wallet from the list of 420 wallets or use WalletConnect

1. After connecting wallet, choose network of your wallet and network you are going to send your tokens to

1. Enter amount of tokens you want to transfer

1. Enter recipient's address

1. Click "Transfer"

1. Confirm transaction in your wallet

How Does the Bridge Work Under the Hood?

The bridge supports several types of token transfers:

1. Send native tokens and receive native tokens.

2. Send native tokens and receive wrapped (or minted) tokens.

3. Send wrapped (or minted) tokens and receive native tokens.

4. Send wrapped (or minted) tokens and receive wrapped (or minted) tokens.

Ways to Interact with Transactions

There are three ways a user can interact with the transactions:

1. Send and Receive Manually: Complete the Send transaction on the Source chain (Solana) and the Receive transaction on the Destination chain (Ethereum) manually. This method is valid for all chains except for the XRP Ledger.

2. Delegate Receiving to the Bridge: Complete the Send transaction on the Source chain (Solana) manually and delegate finishing the Receive transaction to the bridge. This function is enabled on chains where it is supported.

3. XRPL Bridge: Complete the Send transaction on the Source chain (Solana) manually. The Receive transaction will be finished by the bridge. This is valid only when receiving on the XRP Ledger.

Entities in the Cross-Chain Token Transfer Process

1. User: An Externally Owned Account (EOA) or wallet from which token X is transferred from one chain to another.

2. Solana Smart Contract: A smart contract on the Source blockchain (Solana) that receives transfer requests from the user.

3. Ethereum Smart Contract: A smart contract on the Destination blockchain (Ethereum) that accepts input from the user.

4. Validator: An off-chain entity responsible for verifying Lock and Burn transactions on the bridge smart contracts.

The bridge provides a seamless and efficient way to transfer assets across Solana, Ethereum, and Tron, ensuring a borderless blockchain ecosystem.
