Just saw TON is shutting down its old bridge on May 10th and honestly didn't expect this so soon. Apparently they've been running this legacy ton bridge since 2021 to move coins between TON and Ethereum or BNB Chain, but now they're moving to newer solutions like LayerZero and Stargate instead. The thing is - if you've already sent coins out through the old ton bridge but haven't claimed them yet on the other side, you can still do that after May 10th. It's only new transfers that'll stop working. So basically if you're planning to bridge TON out to Ethereum or BNB, you've got until May 10th to use the legacy bridge, then you'll have to find another way. They're keeping the bridge-in function active for now at least, which gives people time to transition I guess. Makes sense that they'd upgrade to better infrastructure as the ecosystem grows - these newer bridges are supposedly faster and more secure. But yeah, mark your calendar if you use this bridge regularly. Curious what everyone will switch to once the old one dies.

TON1.5%
ETH1.81%
BNB1.23%
ZRO1.46%
