Crypto Bridges: Connecting Chains, Unlocking Opportunities

Crypto bridges are infrastructure that connect separate blockchain networks, allowing assets and information to move between them.

Ethereum describes bridges as systems that enable tokens, information, and smart-contract instructions to be transferred between different blockchain ecosystems.

The original asset does not physically move from one chain to another; instead, bridge infrastructure represents its value on the destination network using mechanisms like lock-and-mint, burn-and-mint, or atomic swaps.
