The price of moving funds (DAI) to gnosis is high .
In case of user bridge asset from L1 , the slippage is 0 but the gas fee is high . And I think everybody agrees that if there is only one thing bullish in the eth ecosystem it is the gas fee . so by rise of avg gas fee , the cost of bridging increases .
In case of bridging DAI from other chains to Gnosis , the slippage is not acceptable imo .
Is it technically possible to deploy omni bridge on eth L2s ?
How complex and expensive it would be ?
Is there any other plan to fix this problem ?
Is there any yield farmer here that decided to not to bridge to Gnosis because of initial loss ? Im keen to hear your experience
agree that moving funds between chains is a hassle, slippage, fees and gas have to taken into account. But also bridges are a main vulnerability to each chain (https://blog.chainalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/bridge-hacks-1024x476.png).
Keeping bridges as simple as possible (not to overlook any security risks) seems the most important point too me.
Costs ofc play a crucial role in bridging between chains, and regarding your question: yes, I missed opportunities cause the cost (and/or the risk/effort) of bridging doesn’t seemed to be at a good balance.
Just recently I moved some funds from a maker vault to gc cause lending at agave with negative interest rates are much more appealing compared to the low, but still positive interest at maker. But fees weren’t the main reason I postponed it, also it needs some time to see how sustainable and secure the new ecosystem might be.
Imho its best to have some funds on the chains you like to be and don’t transfer too often cause it’s not worth the gains.
For small amounts (max. 3 digit numbers) Elknet is a good optinon, I like it especially cause it supports also some non EVM chains but it is available on optimism and arbitrum too. Cause of the fees its nothing to bridge from ethereum, for this route the native gnosischain bridges (omni and xDAI) imho are still the best.
