SkyBridger is a Bridge between Casper Network and other chains, starting with Binance Smart Chain. In this article, we will explain how you can use SkyBridger on testnet. SkyBridger is a product of CasperPad.

What is SkyBridger

SkyBridger is a Bridge between Casper Network and other chains, starting with Binance Smart Chain. SkyBridger is made for the community to earn fees by holding its token, $SKBR. The Decentralized nature of SkyBridger makes it so that the project is owned by the community. This means the community will earn bridge fees that are generated by the users of the bridge. Profits will be distributed by the end of each month.

Fees

For every transaction that happens on the bridge, a fee must be paid. Part of this fee is earned by the SkyBridger token holders, $SKBR. There are two types of fees.

  • Base fee: 20 CSPR
  • Bridging fee: 0,5%

This means that for every transaction there is a base fee of 10 CSPR tokens. This base fee pays for the several contract calls that are necessary to bridge your tokens. The bridging fee is the fee that is earned by the SkyBridger token holders.
