🌉 Bridge or cross-chain swap: what’s the difference?
You sent USDT to another network, but what arrived wasn’t quite USDT. It was a “wrapped” version. And now you need another swap to get what you actually wanted 🤦
Two setups, two approaches:
🔒 Bridge
It locks your token on network A and issues a wrapped copy on network B. Then you swap it for the asset you need.
⚡️ Cross-chain swap
You choose what to give up and what you want to receive on another network. One coordinated flow, and the asset you want is waiting at the other end.
Bridges aren’t “bad,” and they work great in many scenarios. But if your goal is “my USDT from TON, but as USDC on Base,” skipping the wrapped intermediate step is simply more convenient.
🛡 Omniston on STON.fi works on an “all or nothing” basis: the swap either goes through under the quoted terms or is rolled back—it doesn’t get stuck halfway.
