Millions of users bridge tokens across multiple chains where multiple bridge solutions to accommodate users hopping across chains. While this introduced a slew of routes, it also added a layer of uncertainty around which one to pick. With the entrace of METAMASK entrance it takes extra guesswork out of the equation. You have to find multiple bridges, you can just use MetaMask Bridges to source the best route depending on where you want to go and what you want to bring with you. I used Wormhole bridge multiple time to find out there is no liquidity on the other side to swap out and use it in a useful defi protocol. Start out by downloading and installing Metamask wallet.
This Metamask beta version currently supports 1:1 bridging of up to $10,000 per transfer of ETH/WETH, common stablecoins (eg: DAI), and native gas tokens (eg: MATIC) across these EVM networks such as:
1) Ethereum
2) Avalanche
3) BINANCE Smart Chain
4) Polygon
Metamask is integrated directly with two bridge aggregators: Socket and LI.FI. These partners allow us to easily search routes from several bridges, as well as provide helpful utilities for a better user experience. Through Socket and LI.FI, Metamask support a curated set of individual bridges vetted starting with these bridge providers:
1) Connext
3) Celer cBridge
4) Polygon Bridge
Metamask Finds the Best Route
Similar to Rango bridge, Metamask bridge find the cheapest and/or fastest bridge, MetaMask Bridges helps you find the cheapest and/or fastest route so you know you’re getting a good deal. All in one window, and all in Metamask Portfolio Dapp.
You just select your desired starting network (where you’re bridging FROM), destination network (where you’re bridging TO), and the token you want to port over for a list of bridging options. You can then use the recommended route Metamask present to you or compare all the routes Metamask found by price and time estimates.
This beta period will include zero MetaMask fees and Metamask are exploring support for more EVM networks like Arbitrum and Optimism along with additional tokens in the future.
Metamask Prioritizes Security
You wouldn’t want to move money across an unsafe bridge. Remember the wormhole bridge hack and many other bridge hacks. This past year—falling short of many a crypto enthusiast’s expectations—has been rife with bridge exploits. Your crypto needs a secure way to travel. The security question is always, “How can the other side be convinced in a secure way to release the correct token amount to the correct person?” and Metamask consider this in selecting a bridge aggregator and individual bridges.
As of shooting this video, Metamask bridge does not have liquidity across multiple chains for the same chain. I love Bridge like Rango because I can bridge across more than dozen chain as well as swap cross chains at the same time. I have provide review of Rango bridge on the link provided below.
