My apologies to whoever created it. Sure, it’s a great innovation; it served its purpose; bridging Ethereum assets onto Avalanche to reduce fees. But…

- “5x cheaper,” too. Which should “dramatically lower fees.”
Expect a nicer user interface too.

It’s got the official Avalanche stamp on it. They have that. And it will likely cement itself as the official highway for ERC20/ARC20 tokens to move cross-chain. Hear this:
Elk and Relay are bridging: Avalanche, Ethereum, Polygon, Matic, HECO, Binance Smart Chain, Polkadot, and potentially Cardano?
