Dogechain Bridge Risks Explained in Simple Terms
When you use the Dogechain bridge to move your Dogecoin (DOGE) between the Dogecoin mainnet and Dogechain, here are some important things to keep in mind:
Minimum Deposit
- Deposit at least 100 DOGE: If you send less than 100 DOGE, the transaction won't go through, and you'll lose your money.
Asset Compatibility
- Send only Dogecoin (DOGE) to the given address. Sending any other type of cryptocurrency will result in a permanent loss.
Network Confirmations
- Wait for 6 block confirmations on the Dogecoin network for the transfer to be valid. Sometimes, network issues can delay this process.
Smart Contract Security
- Beware of smart contract bugs. Although designed to be safe, unforeseen bugs or exploits can happen.
Wallet Security
- Keep your wallet secure. Make sure your MetaMask or any other EVM-compatible wallet is safe. A compromised wallet could lead to stolen assets during the transfer.
Use the Official Bridge
- Only use the official Dogechain bridge. Avoid phishing scams or fake bridges that could steal your funds.
By understanding and managing these risks, you can safely transfer your assets to Dogechain.
What are the Fees?
Using the Dogechain bridge costs less than $2 for most transactions between the Dogecoin mainnet and Dogechain, excluding any extra charges for larger transfers.
These fees include:
- Transaction fees on the Dogecoin network
- A small fee for the bridge service
- Gas fees for using the bridge with MetaMask or another EVM-compatible wallet
