Cross-chain bridges enable asset and data transfers between blockchains, enhancing Web3 interoperability. They use lock-and-mint or liquidity pool mechanisms, with trusted (centralized) or trustless (decentralized) models. Benefits include liquidity, scalability, and expanded DeFi/NFT use cases, but risks like hacks (~$2B stolen in 2022) and smart contract bugs persist. Popular bridges like Symbiosis, THORChain, and Wormhole support multiple chains. Always verify bridge security, fees (e.g., 0.1% for Defiway), and chain compatibility before use.
