How does Sonic solve the bridge problem? The platform developed a native trustless gateway to Ethereum that dramatically cuts friction in cross-chain transfers. Moving assets from Ethereum to Sonic takes roughly 10 minutes, while the reverse route needs about an hour. Here's what makes it interesting: there's built-in protection. If the gateway experiences extended downtime—specifically 14 days or longer—user funds automatically unlock and become accessible. It's a safety net that addresses one of DeFi's biggest pain points: bridge reliability.

10 minutes to Sonic? Not bad, definitely better than those slow cross-chain bridges... but an hour in the reverse direction is just ridiculous.

10 minutes cross-chain? This speed is acceptable, but having to wait an hour for the reverse is a bit annoying.

Can this speed of cross-chain in 10 minutes be considered a skill?

Arrival in 10 minutes? This speed is acceptable to me, much better than those pitiful cross-chain transaction fees.
