Transfer times are largely dependent on how fast the source chain—which refers to the chain you are bridging assets from—reaches finality. This is because Chainlink CCIP, the industry-standard cross-chain solution underpinning the Transporter bridging app, takes a security-first approach to cross-chain token transfers and waits for finality to avoid chain reorgs. Waiting for source chain finality is a critical security feature of CCIP as it helps ensure tokens are locked or burned on the source chain before unlocking or minting tokens on the destination chain.
