    Navigating Cross-Chain Bridge Fees

    Blockchains are like islands. To move assets from Ethereum Island to Solana Island, you need a Bridge.

    The Toll Booth

    Bridges charge fees:

    1. Source Chain Gas: Fee to send to the bridge contract.
    2. Bridge Protocol Fee: Percentage (e.g., 0.1%) taken by the bridge.
    3. Destination Chain Gas: Fee to mint/release tokens on the other side.

    Beware of Spread

    Sometimes bridges give you a slightly worse exchange rate (slippage), which is a hidden fee.
