Onchain Weekly #5, Cross-chain swaps
Discover the latest product updates, stories, and innovations from the OKX Wallet team.
This week, 3 things you didn't know about swapping across chains, or "bridging" on OKX Wallet.
1. Bridge and Swap in a single transaction.
No lag time. No malicious domains. No escrows.
Bridge and swap in a single transaction, without leaving your Wallet. Simply go to Trade and then select Bridge. The experience is almost identical to a regular swap, and without the usual discomforts of lag-time, malicious domains or "escrow" -type experiences.
What this means for you

3. Optimized routing for price, speed, slippage and value
Overall Best, Fastest or Max Amount - You choose.
Our goal is to offer the largest variety of quotes for cross-chain swaps on the market, so that we can get you the fastest and best-value swap. We connect to over 20 networks and 400 decentralized exchanges to do this, as well as using some of the most trusted and secure bridges such as cBridge, MultiBridge and SWIFT to find the best deal for you. When you set up a cross-chain swap, you'll be able to choose between:
"Overall best" meaning, the optimal route based on amount, network fees, slippage and cross-chain bridge costs.
"Fastest" meaning, the quickest route.
"Max amount" meaning, you'll get the most tokens.
