FAQ

How does the bridge work?

The Lyra Bridge under the hood is powered by Socket’s Liquidity Layer that brings an aggregated layer of various asset bridges including Hop and Optimism native bridge. Choose the best suited bridge for them depending on your bridging needs!

How do swaps & multichain swaps work?

The Lyra bridge supports swaps on all source and destination chains through 1inch. With swap-bridge-swap, a user can go from anyToken on a source chain and land on their desired token on the destination chain while getting the best rates for both their swaps and bridging.

I received funds less than the quote, what should I do?

For bridging transactions with a destination swap mentioned above, the output amount might slightly vary due to price fluctuation during bridging. Since you perform the destination swap post-bridging via 1inch, you can be assured that you are getting the best prices at that time
