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:
- Source Chain Gas: Fee to send to the bridge contract.
- Bridge Protocol Fee: Percentage (e.g., 0.1%) taken by the bridge.
- 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.
