Crypto Bridge Glossary on Sui
A plain-English glossary of common terms used in cross-chain transfers.
Why this matters on Sui
Bridge terminology can be confusing because providers use different names for similar steps. Learning the core vocabulary makes route comparisons easier.
Sui uses an object-centric model that differs from the account and token conventions of EVM networks.
Sui 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 Sui after confirming they are supported.
Sui: what to pay attention to
- Costs: Consider network transaction costs and route-specific costs when evaluating small balances.
- Security: Review transaction effects carefully and use trusted wallet interfaces.
- Assets and tokens: Verify the network-specific asset and object details rather than applying EVM assumptions.
A Sui checklist for this topic
- Review the final recipient address and network before confirming a cross-chain transfer.
- Confirm both the source and destination network, including whether Sui is one of them.
- Compare the quote, the minimum received amount and the total fees before signing.
- Check that the token you hold on Sui is supported for the route you are considering.
