Bridge

The bridge is a connection which allows you to connect assets or data to move between different blockchain networks. It acts as a link, enabling interoperability between separate blockchains. With a bridge, you can transfer tokens or information from one blockchain to another, expanding the functionality and accessibility of decentralized applications (dApps) and assets across various blockchain ecosystems. Essentially, bridges facilitate seamless communication and interaction between different blockchain networks, fostering a more connected and interoperable decentralized landscape.

To use the CAGA Bridge for transferring tokens across blockchain networks, follow these steps:

1. Visit the CAGA Bridge Website: Start by navigating to the official CAGA Bridge website using your preferred web browser.

2. Connect Your MetaMask Wallet: Upon arriving at the site, look for an option to connect your MetaMask wallet. This is a crucial step as it links your wallet to the bridge, allowing for secure transactions. If you don't have MetaMask installed, you'll need to add it to your browser and set up a wallet.

3. Choose the Source Network: After your wallet is connected, select the blockchain network from which you want to transfer tokens.

4. Select the Token: Choose "Keep" as the token you wish to transfer. In the testnet version of the bridge, there are pre-created simple tokens available for use. You also have the option to add your own token, provided it is an ERC20 token.

5. Enter the Amount and Transfer: Input the amount of tokens you want to transfer. Once you've confirmed the amount, click on the "Transfer" button to initiate the transaction.

6. Approve Token Usage (If Required): Depending on the token and the contract settings, you might receive a request to approve the bridge contract to use your token. This is a standard security measure. If prompted, approve the request to proceed.

7. Receive Tokens on the CAGA Network: After the transaction is completed, you will receive the equivalent amount of tokens on the CAGA network. The process is designed to be instantaneous, similar to how popular Layer 2 (L2) chains handle bridging, but with immediate effect in the CAGA ecosystem.

8. Releasing Tokens: If you wish to transfer your tokens back to the original or another target EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) chain, select your token on the CAGA Bridge and click "Release". This action will return your tokens to the chosen target EVM chain.

Mainnet Availability: Upon its release to the mainnet, the CAGA Bridge will support transactions across all EVM-compatible chains, broadening its utility and accessibility.

Remember, when interacting with blockchain technologies and bridges, always ensure you are on the legitimate website and understand the transaction fees and risks involved.
