đ Exploring the different methods of moving assets cross-chain
Letâs break it down in the simplest terms - and see how KyberSwap Cross-chain delivers one of the most convenient cross-chain experiences.
This thread isnât fully comprehensive, but it gives you a clear overview of the core concept đđ§”

Message-passing bridge đŹ
âą Lock & Mint (Wrapped Assets): Lock token on Chain A â Mint wrapped token on Chain B. When withdrawing, burn the wrapped tokens â Unlock the originals.
âą Burn & Mint: Burn token on Chain A â Mint new token on Chain B. No need to lock the original tokens, but still relies on off-chain message verification.
Liquidity-based bridgeđ§
âą Intent-based bridge: Users specify what they want on the destination chain (e.g., âI want 1 ETH on Arbitrumâ). Third-party actors called solvers compete to fulfill this intent by fronting the funds on the destination chain. The user receives assets instantly, while the solver gets their funds back later after the system verifies the transfer.
âą Pool-based bridge: These bridges maintain liquidity pools on each supported chain. Users send an asset into the pool on the source chain, and receive the desired asset from the pool on the destination chain with the help of the protocol operator. Liquidity providers (LPs) supply the tokens and earn fees.
Every bridging method has its pros and cons, which makes it difficult for any single solution to fully serve all user needs.
For instance:
âą Intent-based bridges require an active solver network to fulfill specific requests.
âą Pool-based bridges rely on available liquidity, which may not always be sufficient.
Thatâs where KyberSwap steps in. As a cross-chain aggregator, KyberSwap connects to multiple providers to intelligently determine:
âą Which platforms support the userâs desired cross-chain routes.
âą Which ones offer the best rate or fastest execution for that requests.
All in one unified interface. đąTry now:
