As an airdrop hunter, searching for the cheapest bridging platform is so relaxing. Being an airdrop hunter means you have to be ready for whatever chain interaction you get thrown at. It’s no doubt that the Ethereum chain is one of the most secured blockchain we have out there in the crypto space, this is why we have a lot of projects building their chain as layer 2 on the Ethereum ecosystem. Initially when I started airdrop hunting, I only knew about two layer 2s which are the arbitrum and the Optimism. Over time while interacting with airdrop I found others.
Not all centralised exchanges have these layer 2 chains so you have to depend on DEX platforms to bridge from whatever chains you want to bridge from to whatever chain you want to bridge to. Another challenge you have to face is having to pay the bridging fee, because that’s how these platforms make their gains. Most times they charge more than $4 for a transaction that shouldn’t be worth $0.1. But because there no other option, you have no choice but to pay that. I spent most of my time searching for a cheaper means.
Today I found gas.zip it’s the fastest and cheapest I have seen so far. I was charged $0.1 bridge fee ro bridge from Base network to Fraxtal network. The cheapest I used to use was for $2, you can imagine the joy seeing this one at that price.
