Bridging and true swapping are actually quite different

New-generation DEXs like Pact promote a simple idea that most infrastructure has long avoided:

✓ Use only native assets
✓ Reject synthetic and wrapped assets
✓ Do not package bridging risks as user experience optimization

What does this mean? Bitcoin is Bitcoin, Ethereum is Ethereum, BNB is BNB—no derivatives, no middlemen. Assets are executed on the chain where they reside, and interactions are completed there.

It may seem like a detail, but it actually touches on the core pain point of current cross-chain interactions. Most bridging solutions, in order to improve liquidity and convenience, introduce synthetic assets and wrapped tokens. While this seems to solve liquidity issues, it secretly shifts technical risks onto users. Pact’s approach returns to the essence: exchanging with native assets, with transparent and controllable risks.
