Chain Swap

A chain swap is the process of moving a cryptocurrency token from one blockchain to another. This often occurs when a project migrates to a new blockchain to improve scalability, features, or network efficiency. Chain swaps typically involve exchanging old tokens for new ones through smart contracts or exchange platforms. The process ensures that holders retain their token balances on the new chain. Chain swaps require careful planning to prevent loss of assets or network disruption.
