Crystal-Trade or a classic bridge: what is the difference
| Crystal-Trade | Classic bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive | native ETH on Ethereum | Usually a wrapped token (such as WBTC) that has to be swapped later |
| Wallet connection and approvals | Not needed: you send coins to the order address | Needed: you connect a wallet and sign contract transactions |
| Coins for fees on Ethereum | Not needed to receive | Often needed to claim funds or move them after the bridge |
| Time | After the Bitcoin confirmations; the status is shown on the order page | Depends on the bridge and the load of both networks |
| Who holds the funds during the transfer | Crystal-Trade, for the duration of the order (with an AML check) | The bridge smart contract or its validators |
