⚫ ️Wormhole advantages.
Guardian network.
Wormhole does this through emitting messages from one chain which are observed by a Guardian network of nodes and verified. After verification, this message is submitted to the target chain for processing.

Cross chain functionality.
This simple message passing primitive enables cross chain functionality. Users interact with xDapps (cross chain decentralized applications) to transfer xAssets (cross chain assets) between networks or access their xData (cross chain data) to provide them services on their current network.

Two Portals.
On top of the Wormhole message protocol, there’s two specific applications that help concentrate liquidity for xAssets. The Portal Token Bridge and Portal NFT Bridge provide a standard message format for token and NFT transfers across the Wormhole bridge.

⚫️ Focus on Move code through two innovative Blockchains.

Aptos is a layer-1 proof-of-stake blockchain developed by Aptos Labs. Aptos is noted for its high transaction throughput in terms of transactions per second (TPS) and its time to finality (TTF), enabled by its modular architecture which has decoupled transaction dissemination and consensus.

Sui is a permissionless, PoS-powered Layer 1 blockchain that has been designed in an attempt to provide instant settlement and high throughput as well as empower a multitude of next-gen latency-sensitive decentralized applications.

Bridge

So lets bridge some #eth to #aptos. Go to bridge.cetus.zone.

1) First connect your wallet. If you are bridging from Ethereum mainnet, you can connect your metamask or wallet connect. This is the source.

2) Then you can connect your target wallet. This is the wallet where your funds will be send to. Cetusprotocol supports most know wallets on Aptos.

3) Select the asset you want to sent.Next you will have to select and connect your destination wallet. Transactions on the blockchain cost a fee, which is called gas. So make sure you leave some in your wallet so that you can pay for the gas.

4) Click on NEXT and there you will be able to select the asset you want to bridge.

Now select how much you want to actually bridge. Remember to leave some for gas. You will have to approve the token in your wallet. Confirm and proceed.

Click transfer , confirm in your wallet if everything looks alright.
