14.3 Bridging from FreCx to Polygon (Lock and Mint)

The process of moving tokens from FreCx to Polygon begins with locking tokens on the FreCx network.

The user initiates this process through the bridge interface by connecting their wallet and selecting the amount of FreCx to transfer. Once the transaction is confirmed, the specified amount of FreCx is locked in a bridge smart contract on the FreCx network.

After the lock transaction is verified, the bridge system triggers a corresponding mint operation on the Polygon network. This results in the creation of FreCx tokens(Polygon), which are credited to the user’s wallet on Polygon.

This process ensures that the original tokens remain secured while their equivalent representation becomes available on another chain.
