Using Bridges Safely

Safe bridging is mostly operational discipline. Phishing sites mimic official bridge UIs, fake wrapped tokens look like real ones, and users bridge far more than they need because chasing yield across chains feels productive until it is not.

Bookmark official bridge links from Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, and other networks you use. Scammers buy ads and register typosquat domains that steal deposits on the first click.

Treat bridges like carrying cash through a crowded market: minimize exposure, use reputable routes, and never move more than you can afford to lose if the weakest link breaks on a Sunday night.
