Four choices when a bungee bridge sends to another wallet
Sending tokens through Bungee to another wallet comes down to four checks: the destination chain, asset route, recipient address and funds for fees before you approve the transfer.

A bungee bridge transfer to a different wallet comes down to four choices: the destination chain, the asset you want to receive, the recipient address and the fees. A bridge moves tokens between blockchains, and some routes also swap one token for another. You can use the bungee bridge to set up a transfer, but the choices you make determine where the funds go and what arrives.
Which chain should receive the tokens?
Choose the destination chain where you want to use or hold the funds. A wallet address that looks familiar may not be usable on every chain. The address format can match while the wallet or token does not support that network.
Before you send, check that the receiving wallet can access the destination chain and the token you expect to receive. If you are sending to another person or a service, confirm that they accept deposits on that exact network. A token sent on the wrong chain may take extra steps to recover, or may be lost.
Which asset and route fit the transfer?
Pick the token you need at the other end, then compare the routes offered for that pair of chains. Some routes deliver the same token on the destination chain. Others swap it during the transfer, so the token you receive may differ from the one you sent.
Look at the amount you are expected to receive, the fees and the estimated time. A lower fee can come with a longer wait. A route that swaps tokens can also leave you with an asset you did not intend to hold. The best choice for most people is the route that delivers the right asset to the right chain at a clear total cost.
Can a bungee bridge send to another wallet?
Yes, when the selected route supports a separate recipient address. The wallet connected to the source chain signs the transaction and pays its network fee. The recipient field tells the route where to send the funds on the destination chain.
Check the full address before approving. Copying and pasting is safer than typing, but malware can still replace a copied address. Confirm the first and last characters against the address in the receiving wallet. If the destination address belongs to a service, check its deposit instructions first.
What fees and checks should you make?
Keep enough of the source chain’s native token to pay the transaction fee. You may also need that chain’s native token later to move the funds after they arrive. A transfer can complete while the receiving wallet still needs gas, the small network payment for another transaction.
- Confirm the source and destination chains.
- Check the token and amount expected at the destination.
- Verify the recipient address and that it can receive on that chain.
- Review the fee and keep funds for any later transaction.
Then read the transaction details in your wallet before signing. The practical rule is simple: check the destination, asset and recipient as one set. A correct address alone cannot fix a wrong chain or an unwanted token.
