Avalanche Bridge
The official way to bridge assets to and from Avalanche.
Overview
The Avalanche Bridge (AB) is the official and most secure way to transfer assets between the Ethereum and Avalanche blockchains. It is designed for security and ease of use, allowing users to move their ERC-20 tokens to the Avalanche C-Chain to take advantage of its fast transaction speeds and low fees. The bridge uses Intel SGX (Software Guard Extensions) technology to create a secure, trusted execution environment for processing transfers.
✨ Key Features
- Official, canonical bridge for Avalanche
- High security using Intel SGX technology
- Supports a wide range of ERC-20 tokens
- Relatively fast and cost-effective compared to other L1 bridges
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Official, canonical bridge with the highest security for Avalanche
- Unique use of Intel SGX for a trust-minimized setup
- User-friendly interface integrated into the Core wallet
Unique Value: Provides the most secure and trusted method for transferring assets from Ethereum to Avalanche by using a novel hardware-based security model with Intel SGX.
🎯 Use Cases (3)
✅ Best For
- Bridging WETH, USDC, and USDT from Ethereum to Avalanche to use in dApps.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Bridging between Avalanche and chains other than Ethereum.
🏆 Alternatives
Unlike multi-sig or validator-based bridges, the Avalanche Bridge's security relies on a combination of cryptography and secure hardware enclaves, offering a different and potentially more robust trust model.
