# Bridged token

## Definition

A bridged token is a token representation created or delivered on a destination chain through a bridge mechanism that corresponds to an asset originating on another network.

## What it means in practice

Depending on the bridge, the representation can rely on locked collateral, mint-and-burn accounting, liquidity or external verification.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

On supported Terenval networks, a bridged token should be treated as a network-specific contract asset rather than assumed to be identical to the native asset on its origin chain.

**Important:** Verify both bridge provenance and token contract because fake tokens can imitate legitimate bridged-asset symbols.
