How bridges work

A bridge is your saved route in uSwap. It contains the deposit instructions, destination, and order history you can return to later.

Save or bookmark the bridge as soon as you create it. Treat the link as private: the page can contain sensitive order details and purchased items.

You do not need to keep the browser open for a funded order to continue processing.

Reusing a bridge​

Normal bridges support ongoing deposits. Open the bridge and check its current settings, supported deposits, limits, and availability before sending again. Product stock, exchange rates, and route availability can change.

A persistent address does not lock an exchange rate forever. Each new deposit is subject to the route's current conditions.

One outcome with Pay Mode​

Use Pay Mode when you want to combine deposits toward one exact output rather than use an ongoing bridge. Some managed products require a normal bridge instead.

Changing your destination​

Review the destination on the bridge before every new deposit. Do not assume a change can affect funds that are already being processed. If the destination is wrong after you have sent funds, see troubleshooting.
