Cross-chain bridge

Definition: A cross-chain bridge is a bridge that transfers or represents value or messages between different blockchain networks, often using smart contracts and off-chain or on-chain verification components.

Some bridges use locked-and-minted assets, others use liquidity pools or messaging systems, so risk and redemption mechanics differ.

How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

When using Terenval across supported networks, users should treat cross-chain bridging as a separate operation from holding or sending assets within one network.

Important: Third-party bridge contracts can introduce smart-contract, validator, liquidity and operational risk.
