What to Check Before Using a Crypto Bridge on Starknet
Questions to ask about the route, token, destination chain, fees, and transaction details.
Why this matters on Starknet
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.
Starknet uses its own account and smart-contract environment, which differs from standard EVM networks.
Starknet does not follow standard EVM conventions. Address formats, token identifiers and approval mechanics differ, so EVM-oriented checklists and tools should only be applied to Starknet after confirming they are supported.
Starknet: what to pay attention to
- Costs: Check the current network cost and route mechanics before moving small balances.
- Security: Do not assume EVM contract and wallet conventions apply directly.
- Assets and tokens: Verify Starknet-specific asset and account details.
