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 for each blockchain it operates on. You can double-check a token’s contract address on different chains on Coin Gecko or blockchain scanners.
Why the 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.
How To Port Back To Native Chain
If you attempt to port unverified tokens, the port might get stuck on the bridge. Make sure to verify before porting, as ChainPort won't refund lost or stuck ports of unverified tokens.
