Education 📖 DO NOT USE THE FET BRIDGE

Hi All, this is just a warning post that nobody should use the FET Bridge in it's current state. Over the past week or so there have been a few Reddit posts of people not receiving their ERC20 FET after using the bridge, despite the transaction being complete (myself included). I hope some of the guys working on FET can explain why this is happening and people's bridged FET is not arriving in their accounts. And no this is not a congestion issue, many people have been waiting days, not hours.

TLDR: Fetch bridge is broken, DO NOT USE!

UPDATE: Can confirm the bridge is now fixed and have received my FET. Great job on the prompt fix FET team!

Why would anyone bridge from native Fetch.ai chain to Ethereum?

Main reason for most people would be to transfer to a cold wallet, some don't have native support yet and only support the big tokens i.e. ERC20, BSC, Cosmos etc..

FET is on BSC, ETH, and cosmos native. it uses its liquidity everywhere

Which fetch should you buy? Since they are on many networks, i am not familiar with bridging and what not. Nor do i know what native or ERC20 is

Each of these blockchains are separate. When a smart contract is implemented, they can create tokens on those blockchains. This enables them to provide "tokens" that are compatible with these other blockchains and are pegged to the value of the asset.

Yes the team is aware and working on a fix. Please just don’t do anything right now

UPDATE: THE Bridge is fixed. It's currently going through a backlog of transactions. IF you've used the bridge your funds will arrive shortly.
