    How Fast Are Crosschain Bridges??

    In today's episode we're fresh back from Argentina with stories from Devconnect Argentina 2025, DuneCon, and our Patagonia side quest. We go deep on bridges, what they are, how hard they are to track, and the unique challenges of reconciling cross-chain transfers. We explore the efforts to synthetically tie together bridge inflows and outflows, and why “perfect” data may not be possible, but “good” data is still incredibly powerful. We dive into new datasets, what makes their approach special, and how analysts can contribute.
