Bridge
A bridge is a blockchain tool that allows users to transfer assets or data between different blockchain networks. Bridges enable interoperability, making it possible to move tokens across ecosystems such as Ethereum, Layer 2 networks, or alternative blockchains. They play a key role in expanding liquidity and usability across the crypto space. However, bridges have also been targets for security exploits, making safety a major concern. Despite the risks, bridges remain essential infrastructure for a multi-chain environment.
