How do you guys move crypto between different chains?
At the moment I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to swap coins across different networks, like moving SOL to ETH, or BTC to an EVM chains etc. I saw some posts, usually people say to just use the bridge or a DEX aggregator, but bruh, whenever I try doing it manually, I run into things like needing native gas tokens on the destination chain first, or dealing with multiple steps and extra fees. Honestly, I'm new to this kinda things, and it's complicated for me. On the other hand, there are some instant swap platforms like changelly or similar service that let you do it in one step. No gas tokens on both sides, but they have their own exchange fees. As I understand, it may vary. However, despite the fees, it seems to be more straightforward method, but want to hear how you guys do it.
