- Liquidity issues: Sometimes bridges do not have enough liquidity to process transactions. Usually the bridge will wait to refill liquidity before it permits funds getting processed.
- Stuck funds: Occasionally funds will get moved off one chain, but fail to appear on the new chain in a timely manner. Sometimes this gets resolved by simply waiting. In extreme cases, you should contact the support channels for the bridge in question.
- Hacking: Cross-chain communication can be complex, and the bridge is
$CRV Cross-Chain¶
The Curve token can be bridged across some chains, but does not always have full functionality. Staking of $CRV for veCRV must be done on Ethereum. Rewards voting for cross-chain gauges occurs on Ethereum.
