Hello everyone. I would like to ask a technical question about the TON Bridge and the new possibility of transferring tokens:

The bridge fee is quite high for ordinary users, is there no way to reduce it? Is it created like this on purpose?

Note: I mean the main bridge, the token bridge has a low fee.

Nobody know about this? 😔

Because TON Bridge is a “small POS network” upon the TON blockchain, it has its own nodes with their oracle stake (multinode bridge) , that’s why fees are pretty high, they are going to these bridge nodes who are securing the bridge.

Thanks. ❤️

So isn't the token bridge a small PoS network too?

I’m not sure since it doesn’t have tech docs, but I think it’s not a small network too, because it would be very not profitable to hold ur own oracle node to secure the token bridge, since transaction fees are pretty low.

So we get low fees at the expense of bridge safety?

Yes
