According to the official blog of Metamask, its built-in cross-chain aggregation feature Birdge has been updated this month, allowing users to complete token transactions and cross-chain transfers in a single transaction, with a significantly increased variety of supported tokens.

Bridge Supports All Assets

Bridge is an aggregated cross-chain feature built into the Metamask wallet, allowing users to choose cross-chain paths based on their purposes to meet the lowest cost or shortest time. Since its launch at the end of last year, it has assisted over 300,000 users in cross-chain transactions, completing a total of $3 billion in value.

Bridge now supports simultaneous cross-chain trading, meaning users can transfer and exchange the native tokens of two networks at the same time without the need for additional steps. For example, it is now possible to directly cross ARB tokens on Artibrum One to OP tokens on Optimism Mainnet.

Currently, Bridge integrates services such as Socket and LI.FI, providing cross-chain services for almost all assets, unlike in the past where there were only native assets of the network and a few stablecoins to choose from. It also ensures that the integrated cross-chain bridges meet the design of minimal trust, atomic transactions, external verifiers, etc., ensuring user experience and security.
