Bridge Portals

The Bridge Portals tool in Lucid, accessible by clicking the “Open” button under the Bridge section on the homepage, enables users to perform secure and efficient cross-chain token transfers. It offers an intuitive interface where users can select the token they wish to transfer, choose source and destination chains, and pick from supported bridges.

One of its key features is automatic bridge selection. Based on the transfer amount, the system intelligently determines whether a single bridge is sufficient or if a multi-bridge transfer is required, ensuring a smooth and reliable experience. Users are guided through the most cost-effective and reliable routes without needing to manually assess bridge limits or capacity.

In addition to routing, the interface also includes a transaction history panel, allowing users to track and manage past transfers directly within the portal.

What is Bridge Portals and how does it function?

Bridge Portals function similarly to Multi-Bridge Asset Transfers, but the entire process is seamlessly executed within the Lucid platform. Lucid’s Bridge Portals module is the only xERC20 bridge aggregator that helps users discover the fastest and most cost-effective routes for cross-chain asset transfers. It ensures secure, seamless, and highly efficient transactions across multiple ecosystems. It is executed within Lucid.

Single Bridge vs Multi-Bridge Transfers

The system automatically determines whether a single bridge or a multi-bridge transfer is required based on the transfer amount and single-bridge limits. The organisation deployer sets the single bridge limits during the organisation setup on Lucid, ensuring tailored transfer configurations to meet the organisation’s requirements.

Single Bridge Transfer

When transferring a token amount that does not exceed the single bridge token transfer limit, the interface restricts the user to select only one bridge.

If transfer amount is within the limit of a single bridge, the user can only select one bridge from the “Select Bridge” dropdown.

Steps for Single Bridge Transfer:

Select the token to transfer (e.g., USDT).
Choose the destination chain.
Enter the Receiver Address or click Use Your Wallet Address to auto-fill.
Under Select Bridge, choose a bridge sorted by parameters such as “Cheapest” or other criteria.
Verify the fees and limits displayed (e.g., Relayer Fee, Burning Limit, Minting Limit).
Confirm and proceed with the transfer.

Multi-Bridge Transfer

If the transfer amount exceeds the single bridge limit, the interface automatically enables the multi-bridge option. This allows the user to select multiple bridges to execute the transfer.

Example (Screenshot below):

Transfer Amount: 2000 Test Tokens
The transfer amount exceeds the single bridge token transfer limit, so the Multi-Bridge Transfer section is activated automatically.

Steps for Multi-Bridge Transfer:

Select the token to transfer (e.g., TEST0103).
Choose the destination chain.
Enter the Receiver Address or click Use Your Wallet Address to auto-fill.

Under the Multi-Bridge Transfer section:

Select multiple bridges from the dropdown. You can add more bridges using the + Add Bridge button.
Set the Consensus Threshold (e.g., 2 of 2) to ensure successful execution through selected bridges.
Verify the fees and limits displayed for each bridge (e.g., Relayer Fee, Burning Limit, Minting Limit).
Confirm and proceed with the transfer.

Transaction History

The Bridge History section provides a detailed record of all past transactions, including:

Time/Date: When the transaction occurred.
Chains: Source and destination chains. (see the arrow between chain logos)
Details: Token type and amount.
Origin Address: The wallet initiating the transfer.
Bridges: Bridges used to relay the transfer.
Status: Consensus achieved (e.g., 2/2 or 3/3).
