What is bridging in crypto?
Bridging in crypto refers to the process of transferring assets between different blockchain networks.
It enhances interoperability, allowing for data and asset transfers across various networks.
Here are some reasons you may want to bridge:
Buy different cryptocurrency tokens
Mint an NFT only available on a specific network
Save money with cheaper transactions
Use a dapp only available on another network
CAKE, a multichain token
With our multichain expansion and deployment on Ethereum and Aptos, CAKE is now a multichain token that is native to BNB Chain, but also available on Ethereum and Aptos.
CAKE on Ethereum or Aptos is equal to CAKE on BNB Smart Chain. It can always be bridged between these chains at a 1:1 ratio and without any fee in CAKE.
Please note that there is only one CAKE. There are no different versions of CAKE on different chains. The total supply of CAKE across all blockchains is capped at 750M, as outlined in our v2 tokenomics litepaper.
What is the PancakeSwap Bridge?
The PancakeSwap Bridge is a convenient, in-app tool that allows you to move assets between different blockchains directly through the PancakeSwap interface. Instead of visiting external bridge sites, you can bridge supported tokens between chains like BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and more—all from one place.
The PancakeSwap Bridge is powered by trusted third-party providers and works as an aggregator—selecting the best route based on price, speed, and reliability.
To learn how to bridge CAKE, check out the tutorials and FAQ in the following sections.
🔗 How It Works
Bridging via Aggregators
The PancakeSwap Bridge acts as a smart layer over trusted third-party bridge protocols. When you initiate a bridge transfer, PancakeSwap:
Checks multiple integrated bridges for optimal routes
Sends your transaction to the selected provider
Bridging is non-custodial—your assets do not touch PancakeSwap custody. Transfers are handled directly by the bridge providers.
Supported Bridge Providers
We currently integrate with:
deBridge
cBridge
LayerZero
Stargate
Meson
Note: Each provider has different bridging mechanics, supported chains, fees, and limits.
Supported Chains and Tokens
Chains Currently Supported
BNB Chain
Ethereum
Arbitrum
Base
opBNB
zkSync
Linea
Polygon zkEVM
Aptos (V1 site)
Tokens Available for Bridging
Available tokens vary by chain and route. Common supported tokens include (but are not limited to):
CAKE
USDT
USDC
ETH
Limitations & Exclusions
Some tokens may not be supported due to bridge limitations or liquidity constraints. These have been filtered out for the best user experience. For example:
For cBridge:
Wrapped BNB (BNB Chain)
USDT (Arbitrum)
USDC.e (Arbitrum)
For deBridge:
cUSDCv3 (Ethereum)
cUSDCv3 (Polygon)
cUSDCv3 (Arbitrum)
The above are examples. The actual available tokens per chain are shown directly in the Bridge UI.
💸 Fees and Costs
Bridge Fees
Charged by the underlying bridge provider
Typically includes a small fee per transfer
Clearly shown before you confirm your bridge
Gas Costs
You pay gas fees on the source chain to initiate the transaction
Some providers may also require gas on the destination chain
Tip: Always keep native tokens (e.g., ETH, BNB) on both sides of the bridge
Minimum Amounts & Restrictions
Some bridge routes enforce:
Minimum/maximum bridge amounts (e.g., minimum of 10 USDC)
Supported token decimals or formats (e.g., only ERC-20 tokens)
The UI will automatically detect and display invalid transfers.
⏳ Transaction Times & Tracking
How Long Does Bridging Take?
Bridge transfers typically complete within a few minutes, depending on:
Source and destination chains
Network congestion
Bridge provider efficiency
In some cases, it may take longer. For example, outbound transfers from Polygon zkEVM are subject up to a 7-day delay due to block confirmation requirements.
Tracking Your Transfer
Once submitted, you can view the transaction status through provider-specific explorers:
If a transaction is stuck for a long time, check the relevant explorer or reach out to our admins via social channels for help.
🧠 Tips Before You Bridge
Keep gas tokens on both chains (e.g., ETH + BNB)
Start small if it’s your first time bridging
Avoid bridging during periods of high chain activity (can result in higher gas fees)
Confirm token compatibility on both chains
Always double-check source and destination networks
