What to Check Before Using a Crypto Bridge on Zora
Questions to ask about the route, token, destination chain, fees, and transaction details.
Why this matters on Zora
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.
Zora is an Ethereum scaling ecosystem with its own network balances and application environment.
Zora is part of the Ethereum scaling ecosystem. The same ticker can exist on Ethereum and on Zora as separate token contracts, so a balance seen on one network cannot be assumed to exist, or to be redeemable at the same value, on the other.
Zora: what to pay attention to
- Costs: Compare network gas with any bridge or liquidity costs.
- Security: Confirm the active network and transaction details before signing.
- Assets and tokens: Verify the token contract on Zora.
A Zora checklist for this topic
- Confirm both the source and destination network, including whether Zora is one of them.
- Compare the quote, the minimum received amount and the total fees before signing.
- Check that the token you hold on Zora 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.
