Bridge

What bridging means?

Bridging lets you move tokens from one blockchain (like Solana) to another (like Ethereum or Base) by locking or burning them on the original chain, then minting or unlocking an equivalent amount on the target chain. This process relies on cross-chain communication protocols or specialized smart contracts to verify that tokens were locked on the source chain before creating the new tokens on the destination. As a result, you maintain the same overall value while gaining access to DeFi opportunities that are unique to each blockchain.

deBridgePoints

When you bridge through Bloom, you’ll earn deBridge points just as if you were bridging directly via deBridge itself.


To access the bridging menu, type /bridge or select the command directly from the ✈️ Bridge menu.


How To Bridge

From the SOL blockchain, you can directly bridge to BSC, Ethereum, and Base using Bloom.

  • SOL → BSC: Send SOL and receive BNB on BSC.

  • SOL → ETH: Send SOL and receive ETH on Ethereum.

  • SOL → BASE: Send SOL and receive ETH on Base.

  • SOL → HYPER EVM: Send SOL and receive HYPE on HYPER EVM.

  • Select the target receiver blockchain (BSC, ETH, BASE or HYPER EVM). Only one option can be active at a time.

  • You can set the receiving addresses needed—(BSC, ETH, BASE, HYPER EVM)—depending on your needs. Tap 💸 Set Address, then enter your receiver address for the blockchain you’ve selected.

  • Double-check that all details match, then tap ✈️ Bridge to transfer your funds.

After bridging, if you’d like to switch the target receiving blockchain, ensure you select the new blockchain and eventually update the receiving wallet accordingly.


Locking/Unlocking Withdraw Address

Why locking your receiver address?

Locking your receiver address ensures it cannot be changed while locked, making it impossible for anyone—including potential attackers—to replace it and bridge your funds. This is a critical layer of security, especially in case of a malicious attack or if your wallet becomes compromised.

Unlocking your receiver address

If you need to replace your receiver address, you must first unlock it. Once unlocked, a 24-hour security cooldown begins, ensuring that no changes can be made during this time. This delay provides a buffer to detect and prevent unauthorized attempts.
