When is using the official @SonicLabs bridge better than 3rd party bridges? The use case is actually quite straightforward. As long as you have assets that are supported by the bridge and you are trying to get assets TO Sonic, then the official bridge is the most cost-effective one. As an example, if you are going to try to bridge stables from Base or Arbitrum and co., 3rd party bridges may be a bit faster but normally ask for a small fee for bridging the assets. Depending on the amount you are trying to bridge, that can make or break the deal for you. The official bridge is just asking for gas and transaction fees and is bridging your assets in the same amount to Sonic. So if you are not in a rush, you may use the official bridge from Sonic Gateway, but if you need the assets a bit faster, then you may consider and compare the transaction speed between each chain. Another way to make the transaction a bit cheaper is to use @infinex as a bridge helper. As an example, if you have your assets on ETH, it will cost some transaction fee to bridge your assets to another chain. But just sending your assets to Infinex and swidging it there, as an example, Base-based USDC and sending back to your account will decrease the gas fee for bridging dramatically and also speed the process a bit up. Unfortunately, Infinex is not yet supporting Sonic chain as a native one.
