== What's the difference between bridging tokens, and swapping tokens? ==

'''Bridging tokens''' involves transferring tokens from one blockchain to another. For example, if you want to move your tokens from Ethereum to ApeChain, the bridge will lock your tokens on the source chain and mint equivalent tokens on the destination chain. This ensures that the total supply of tokens stays consistent across both networks. Once bridged, you can use the tokens on the destination network.

'''Swapping tokens''' refers to exchanging one token for another on the same blockchain network. This allows users to trade tokens based on current market rates using the Swap functionality within Ape Portal.

'''Cross-chain swaps''' allow you to swap tokens across different blockchain networks. Ape Portal's Bridge enables users to exchange an EVM-compatible currency for another, even if the tokens are on different networks. This feature is ideal for users looking to perform swaps as part of their cross-chain activity.

In summary:

* '''Bridging''' moves tokens between different chains.
* '''Swapping''' exchanges tokens within the same chain.
* '''Cross-chain swaps''' allow you to swap EVM-compatible tokens across different networks.
