After a little over a year of horror, this bridge saved me

In December 2023, before all went downward in horror of my life that lasted the whole year trying to scramble up from depression, I revisited the wallet that I used to test DeFi tokens and their protocol before I got hacked simply because that very month at the time, I wasn't thinking straight after a series of drama-trauma in the real world.

Please take note, that trauma recovery is real, and any trauma can temporarily / permanently decouple your cognitive ability, no matter how smart and alert you once were.

And to my surprise, the Fantom chain still had a few remnants that the hacker didn't manage to take, other than that creep wiped out my BNB tokens and ETH tokens there. (by the value of $$$ USD)

The amount doesn't look big for some but for MYR conversion it was $$$$ 4-figures that I was stupidly robbed

I digress

Recently when I revisited the spooky.fi website for some ideas how to take out some of my old LP that was locked in, including my Yield Finance of around $11 USD (after the value crashed in 2023) left in the vault, I was very scared but still attempted to see if I can still get this locked value in case my wallet was still "bugged" by some contract that will automatically drain my wallet if it is above $1 value.

To my relief, it didn't, at least for FTM blockchain, and I could still see my wrapped FTM sitting there quietly and safely.

Immediately I was trying to find ways to bridge the tokens out and I remembered spooky.fi still had that service, but to my dismay, their own bridge has been removed, but a consoled blessing they left third-party 3 bridges for anyone who needs to bridge over to give it a try.

I remembered someone spoke about Wormhole and Stargate before but Squid(AXL) AKA squid router caught my attention, so I gave it a try first and see what happens.

I have been scrapping my tokens while the market maintained better recently just to settle my outstanding Credit payback (overdrafts) and I was just hoping to move it to a CEX and let it sit there in the "earn" in Binance or convert it to BNB for future airdrops.

So far, I am really happy that it actually allows me to deposit really small amount for just 17 cents fee, for the fantom blockchain, after so many years of hype and downturn, it truly serves a really cost effective way transfer tokens from one place to another.

Compared to ETH gas fees, this is not as painful for tiny sending.

Blockchain is becoming better, and maybe with a POTUS who actually launches his own NFT and MEME, maybe blockchain technology does have a more peaceful future.

Fingers crossed!

Thank you for your time

and Stay Healthy and Happy
