How an exchange differs from an ordinary bridge
| Velorex | Ordinary bridge | |
|---|---|---|
| What arrives at the address | Native ETH or standard tokens of the Arbitrum One network | It varies: a number of networks hand out the bridged version of the token |
| Wallet connection and signatures | We do without them: the payout goes to the address from the order | Mandatory: the wallet is connected, contract transactions are signed |
| Is a Arbitrum One coin needed for fees | Not required to receive | As a rule yes, otherwise the funds cannot be claimed or moved on |
| When it arrives | As soon as Ethereum gathers confirmations; the status is shown on the order page | Set by the bridge itself and by the load on both networks |
| Who holds the funds on the way | Velorex — until the order is closed by the payout | The smart contract of the bridge or its validators |
