cross-chain-bridge-guide

cross-chain-bridge-guide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nirholas/three.ws. It costs 57 tokens per session (2,135 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to bridges, which are systems that move or represent crypto assets between separate blockchains. It explains bridge designs, trust assumptions, security risks, and common routes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare bridge types, understand deposits and withdrawals, assess security assumptions, and move assets between networks more carefully.
Why use it?
Blockchains are separate networks, so moving assets between them can involve delays, fees, and security risks. The guide helps users understand those trade-offs before choosing a bridge.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cross-chain-bridge-guide scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Cross-Chain Bridge Guide

Bridges move assets between blockchains. This guide covers how they work, which to use, and how to stay safe.

Why Bridges Exist

Each blockchain is an isolated system. Bridges connect them:

Ethereum ←──Bridge──→ Arbitrum
    ↕                      ↕
  Bridge                 Bridge
    ↕                      ↕
 Base    ←──Bridge──→  Polygon

Use cases:

  • Move ETH from Ethereum to Arbitrum for cheaper DeFi
  • Access protocols only available on specific chains
  • Consolidate assets scattered across chains

Bridge Architectures

Type 1: Native Bridges (Official L2 Bridges)

Used by rollup L2s to move between L1 and L2.

Bridge Route Deposit Time Withdrawal Time
Arbitrum Bridge ETH ↔ Arbitrum ~10 min 7 days (fraud proof)
Optimism Bridge ETH ↔ Optimism ~10 min 7 days (fraud proof)
Base Bridge ETH ↔ Base ~10 min 7 days
zkSync Bridge ETH ↔ zkSync ~10 min ~1 hour (ZK proof)

The 7-day problem: Optimistic rollups require a 7-day challenge period for withdrawals to L1. This is why third-party bridges exist.

Type 2: Liquidity Network Bridges

Pre-fund liquidity on both chains. Users swap locally:

User deposits ETH on Chain A → Receives ETH from liquidity pool on Chain B
(No actual cross-chain message needed — just liquidity matching)
Bridge Speed Chains Best For
Stargate 1–5 min 15+ Stablecoins, large amounts
Across 2–10 min 10+ ETH, fast transfers
Hop 5–20 min 5+ ETH, stablecoins

Pros: Fast, no 7-day wait Cons: Limited by available liquidity, fees

Type 3: Message-Passing Bridges

Send a message cross-chain, mint/release on destination:

Bridge Mechanism Chains
Wormhole Guardian network validates 30+
LayerZero Oracle + relayer (ultralight) 30+
Axelar PoS validator network 50+

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

cross-chain-bridge-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository nirholas/three.ws (111 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 2,135 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
