What to Check Before Using a Crypto Bridge on Fantom
Questions to ask about the route, token, destination chain, fees, and transaction details.
Why this matters on Fantom
The most important bridge question is not 'does it work?' but 'what exactly will happen if I sign?' Read the route, source and destination assets, fees and recipient before approving.
Fantom provides an EVM-compatible environment with its own balances and token contracts.
Fantom uses EVM-style addresses and token contracts, which means the same address can hold balances on several EVM networks at once. A balance that is missing on Fantom may simply be sitting on a different network.
Fantom: what to pay attention to
- Costs: Compare network costs with route and liquidity costs.
- Security: Check the network and contract before interacting with unfamiliar assets.
- Assets and tokens: Verify the token contract on the selected Fantom network.
A Fantom checklist for this topic
- Confirm both the source and destination network, including whether Fantom is one of them.
- Compare the quote, the minimum received amount and the total fees before signing.
- Check that the token you hold on Fantom is supported for the route you are considering.
- Allow for a delay between sending and receiving; do not repeat a transfer while one is pending.
