Cross-Chain FAQ
Does bridging VZ affect liquidity on either chain?
No, bridging itself does not impact liquidity pools (LPs) directly, since it only locks and unlocks tokens rather than buying or selling them. However, liquidity on each chain is independent, so users should check market depth before bridging to ensure smooth trading.
Why are tokens locked on BNB but burned on Solana?
On BNB Chain, the VZ contract is renounced and does not allow minting, meaning new tokens cannot be created beyond the initial supply. Instead, Wormhole locks tokens in a smart contract on BNB when bridging to Solana. On Solana, Wormhole mints VZ from the pre-allocated supply when bridging from BNB and burns them when bridging back. This method ensures a 1:1 supply ratio across both chains, maintaining total supply integrity.
Where does the Solana Supply come from?
Since Solana supply was pre-allocated at the time of deployment. A portion of the total VZ supply from BNB is bridged to Solana during the initial setup. These tokens are then minted on Solana and become the starting circulating supply.
Will bridging create more VZ tokens?
No. The total supply of VZ remains constant. Wormhole does not create extra tokens, it only moves existing supply between chains by locking, minting, and burning.
What happens if too many users bridge to one chain?
If a large number of users bridge VZ from BNB to Solana, most of the supply will be locked on BNB and active on Solana. This could:
Reduce available VZ circulation on BNB, potentially affecting LP depth.
Require users to bridge VZ back to BNB if they want to restore more supply there.
Since arbitrage traders often take advantage of price differences, the market will typically self-balance over time.
Do I need gas fees when bridging?
Yes. You’ll need BNB for gas when bridging from BNB Chain and SOL for gas when bridging from Solana. Make sure you have enough gas fees on both networks before initiating a transfer.
How can I check my transaction status?
You can track your bridge transactions using the Wormhole Explorer (for verifying the bridge process). You can then utilize BscScan (BNB Chain) or Solscan (Solana) to check on-chain activity.
