Cross-Chain Bridge

Move tokens between Solana, BNB Chain, Base, and SUI without leaving TrenchTools

Overview

The built-in bridge powered by Li.Fi lets you transfer native tokens between all supported chains. Li.Fi is a meta-aggregator that finds the best route across multiple bridge providers (Wormhole, Mayan, deBridge, Allbridge) automatically.

Supported Routes

All combinations of:

• Solana (SOL)
• BNB Chain (BNB)
• Base (ETH)
• SUI (SUI)

Fees

TrenchTools charges no platform fee for bridging. You only pay the bridge provider's fees and gas on both chains.

Use the trench_bridge tool:

• fromChain: solana, bsc, base, or sui
• toChain: solana, bsc, base, or sui
• amount: Amount in native token units

Requirements

• Wallets on both chains — you must have a wallet created on both the source and destination chains
• Sufficient balance — enough native token to cover the bridge amount plus gas fees
• Patience — bridge times vary from 2-15 minutes depending on the route and bridge provider

How It Works

1. Quote — Li.Fi finds the best route across all bridge providers
2. Sign — Your wallet signs the transaction locally (keys never leave your device)
3. Send — Transaction is broadcast to the source chain
4. Bridge — The bridge provider handles the cross-chain transfer
5. Receive — Tokens arrive on the destination chain

Estimated Times

Route	Typical Time
Solana ↔ EVM	2-5 minutes
EVM ↔ EVM	1-3 minutes
SUI ↔ any	3-10 minutes

Times depend on network congestion and the bridge provider selected by Li.Fi.

Tips

• Bridge times vary — don't worry if it takes a few minutes
• Larger amounts may get better rates due to lower relative fees
• Check that you have enough gas on both chains before bridging
• The bridge status is tracked automatically — you'll get a notification when complete
