Trust Wallet allows you to store and manage your crypto and NFTs, buy, sell, and stake crypto to earn rewards, access dApps securely and much more—all in one place. In this guide, we’ll focus on how to bridge your crypto to and from the Base Network.
What is bridging in crypto?
A blockchain bridge is a tool that enables the transfer of assets between different blockchains, solving a major challenge of interoperability. By using a bridge, an asset from one blockchain can be represented as a synthetic derivative on another, such as sending Bitcoin to the Ethereum blockchain, where it is converted to an ERC-20 stablecoin like Wrapped Bitcoin. Bridges can be unidirectional (one-way) or bidirectional (two-way), and they may be either custodial (centralized) or noncustodial (decentralized). They offer various advantages, like access to cheaper and faster transactions on different networks, but also carry inherent security risks.
What is the Base Layer-2 network?
The Base Layer-2 network is an innovative solution developed to address some of the core challenges in the blockchain space, such as slow transaction speeds, high fees, and scalability issues. Operating on top of underlying blockchain protocols like Ethereum (Layer-1), Base processes transactions off the mainnet, improving scalability and efficiency. Designed to make blockchain interactions smoother, Base seeks to open the door to those who may find blockchain technology daunting or prohibitive. By being a Layer-2 solution for Ethereum, Base directly targets and alleviates some of the pain points of the Ethereum network, enhancing its ecosystem and making it more accessible for a broader audience.
