Production Asset-transfer Bridges
The following bridges are fully functional in ThunderCore's production environments:
Ethereum (Bridge between ThunderCore mainnet and Ethereum mainnet): Cost effective
BSC (Bridge between ThunderCore mainnet and BSC Network): A bridge service providing access to inter-blockchain liquidity for Binance Chain and Binance Smart Chain decentralized applications.
BSC testnet (Bridge between ThunderCore testnet and BSC testnet)
