💸Bridge integrations

Using neuron bridges involves a combination of REST APIs and direct on-chain interactions with bridge smart contracts.

Any protocol can use the existing neuron cross chain bridging infrastructure to add bridging capabilities to their app or protocol.

The REST APIs provided by the protocol serve as the primary interface for interacting with the bridging service. These APIs enable users to retrieve bridging quotes, explore available bridging options, query bridge contracts, fetch address balances, and access bridging history.

Additionally, direct on-chain interactions with smart contracts are necessary to facilitate token transfers and execute bridging transactions securely.

Users interact with the smart contracts to approve token spending, deposit funds into the bridge, and (importantly) initiate the bridging process.
