There is a new cross-chain bridge that you can try.

Retro Bridge recently launched a quest.

By completing the quests, you can earn their early SoulBound NFT.

These NFTs could prove valuable for potential future airdrops.

🧵 Thread on how to participate 👇

📌 Before delving into the thread, bookmark the first tweet for easy reference.

🦘 To jump directly to the tutorial, start with the 6th tweet.

Remember to conduct thorough research before engaging with any DeFi Protocols, including the one discussed here.

RetroBridge [@retro_bridge] is a cross-chain bridging solution facilitating asset transfers across multiple chains.

Their approach differs from LayerZero and Wormhole based products.

Their approach is based on utilizing dedicated addresses with liquidity pools on each blockchain.

🍥 This aids in:
• Bypassing traditional reliance on smart contracts.
• Enhancing efficiency
• Ensuring Cost-effectiveness

They plan to transition towards decentralization in separate stages:

▫️ Sunrise
▫️ Midday
▫️ Sunset
▫️ Midnight

Each phase will have a unique quest with a Soulbound NFT tied to it.

The Sunrise Journey NFT provides ultra-low bridging fees of just $1.75 across all EVM Networks.

🌅 The first phase, "Sunrise," is currently live.

Here's how to participate:

1. Open: https://retrobridge.io/phases/sunrise-journey
2. Follow them on Twitter.
3. Complete the ETH and Stablecoin bridging tasks.
4. Retweet the mentioned tweet.

After that, you will be able to mint the NFT on Ethereum.

For the second task, I transferred $23.09 worth of ETH from Optimism to Arbitrum.

Here is the breakdown of how it went:

▫️ Sent from Optimism: $23.09
▫️ Received on Arbitrum: $20.47
▫️ Total fees incurred including gas fee: $2.62
▫️ Time taken: 40 seconds

The Sunrise Journey NFT will also grant you a 30% discount on bridging transactions between EVM chains.

This is just one of the four NFTs that will be launched in the future.

Each NFT signifies specific stages, thereby identifying you as an early adopter.
