Bridging (NOT swapping) is the process of moving token from one chain to another. This process requires 2 transactions, depositing the token onto Bridging Protocol, if Bridging Protocol has enough liquidity, it will transfer the token to your destination chain into your wallet. During this process, you can check on your deposit transaction hashes for the status.
If you already have assets (e.g. Ethereum, DAI and etc.) on other blockchains, you can bridge them to get their equivalent value on the chain you selected using the following bridge protocols.
