Bridges.
We have a multichain crypto universe now. You can use these bridges to move your tokens across different blockchains.

Bridges.
Cross-chain bridges enable the exchange of information, cryptocurrencies or NFTs from one blockchain network to another.
It allows data and tokens to flow across data sets that would otherwise be isolated from each other on different blockchains.
/1
There are several approaches to enabling cross-chain bridge transfers.
One approach is to use a wrapped token issued by the cross-chain bridge platform. With a wrapped token, the value of one token from a specific blockchain network can be encapsulated in another token.
/2
Another approach to enabling cross-chain bridge transfers is to use a liquidity pool.
With a liquidity pool, the cross-chain bridge provider maintains inventories or pools of different coins where one can be exchanged for another.
Think about this as a cross-chain DEX.

@wormholecrypto
Wormhole locks in an origin token with a smart contract, wrapping the coin in a Wormhole minted token on the target blockchain.
It supports @solana, @ethereum, @terra_money, @BNBCHAIN, @0xPolygon, @avalancheavax, @OasisProtocol and @FantomFDN.
/6
@Allbridge_io | $ABR
Bridge between EVM (like Ethereum, Polygon, BSC), non-EVM compatible (like Solana, Terra) blockchains, as well as L2 - blockchains.
The dynamic fees system allows Allbridge stakers to reduce transfer fees.
/7
@HopProtocol | $HOP
Hop is a scalable rollup general token bridge.
It allows users to send tokens from one rollup or sidechain to another without having to wait for the networks challenge period.
It works by involving market makers who front the liquidity.
/8

It provides a bridging solution and connects to Polkadot, Ethereum, TRON and other heterogeneous chains by cross-chain transfer of assets and remote chain calls.
/9
@CelerNetwork | $CELR
cBridge is a multi-chain network that enables fast, low-cost and any-to-any value transfers for many chains.
cBridge 2.0 supports two token bridging models:
Pool-based bridge model for canonical tokens
Canonical token bridge model (mint & burn)
/10
@symbiosis_fi | $SIS
Symbiosis is a decentralized multi-chain liquidity protocol.
It allows users to swap assets between all the blockchains while remaining the sole owners of the funds.
/11
