The Token’s Contract Address Changed After Bridging

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.
