Step-by-Step Guide

1

Verify Official Bridge URLs

Always type URLs directly or use bookmarks. Scammers create fake bridge sites with similar domains. SurgeSwap is only at surgeswap.xyz.

2

Start with Small Test Amounts

Test any new bridge with $10-50 first. Verify the transaction completes successfully before bridging larger amounts.

3

Use Non-Custodial Bridges Only

Choose bridges like SurgeSwap where you control funds throughout. Never use bridges requiring private key sharing or fund deposits.

Pro Tips

  • Never share private keys or seed phrases
  • Use hardware wallets for large amounts
  • Double-check destination addresses
  • Keep transaction records for tracking
