Frequently asked
What makes one bridge safer than another?
Usually route clarity, trust in the execution path, and how well the bridge fits the specific move you actually need.
Should I always choose the bridge with the most routes?
No. A cleaner route-specific default can be stronger than the bridge with the broadest theoretical coverage.
What should I verify before bridging?
Source and destination chains, token assumptions, expected output, fees, and whether the exact route is really supported the way you think it is.
