Bridging transfers assets from one blockchain to another, like moving ETH from Ethereum to Base. Swapping involves exchanging one token for another, often for better rates or utility on the new chain.
First, select a trusted bridge such as the official Base Bridge or third-party options. Connect your wallet, choose the amount to bridge, and confirm the transaction. Once the assets arrive on Base, you can proceed to swap them.
After bridging, use a DEX aggregator to find the best swap rates across multiple exchanges. Aggregators scan various liquidity pools to offer optimal prices and lower slippage.
