Bridging

Moving assets between blockchains via a bridge — frequently modeled as a disposal + acquisition in tax software.

Bridging — crypto tax glossary (EN)

Bridging transfers value from one chain to another through lock/mint, burn/release, or liquidity-pool mechanisms.

Because the token representation often changes, many tax engines treat bridges like swaps (disposal of asset A, acquisition of asset B). Keep bridge fees and timing precise.
