Bridge Latency Cost

Definition

Bridge latency cost refers to the time delay and associated expenses incurred when transferring assets between different blockchain networks using a bridge. This cost includes the time required for transactions to be confirmed on both the source and destination chains, along with any gas fees or service charges. High latency can affect the efficiency of cross-chain operations, particularly for time-sensitive financial activities. It represents a significant consideration for users and developers of interoperable systems.
