Question 4

Fees on ChainPort

Accepted Answer

Fees at ChainPort

ChainPort charges a 0.3% bridging fee, one of the lowest in cross-chain bridging, with no extra or minimum fees.

Users can pay this fee in either the chain’s gas token or the token being bridged by selecting their preference under the “advanced” option before bridging. In addition to bridging fees, standard gas fees apply. On most chains, these are minimal (often under ~$1.5), but bridging to Ethereum may incur higher, fluctuating costs due to Ethereum’s gas demand. The exact extra fee can be checked by hovering over the tooltip in the Confirm Modal under “Gas Fee.”

Question 6

The Token’s Contract Address Changed After Bridging

Accepted Answer

Why Did I Receive a Different Token?

If you've received tokens with a different contract address after bridging with ChainPort, don't worry – it's part of the process. When bridging tokens via the lock and mint bridging method with ChainPort, you get a ChainPort-wrapped token on the target chain with a different contract address. A token’s contract address changes depending on the blockchain it operates. You can double-check a token’s contract address on different chains on CoinGecko or blockchain scanners.

Why is There a Difference:

A wrapped crypto token is typically a digital asset converted to function on a blockchain network other than its original one. This ensures cross-chain compatibility and easy exchangeability.

Check Liquidity:

To ensure liquidity, always check the contract address of the token you're trying to port. Visit our explorer to verify if the project has officially chosen ChainPort as its bridge.
