There are a lot of tricks around bridge fees. What I observed is that cost to bridge USDC is very very low. In cases where assets like WBTC or ETH are costly to bridge, it's better to swap for USDC, bridge the USDC over and swap back. With V3 the swap fees are minimal.

Solana is both settlement and execution. You don’t ever have to enter the ETH network. Its old slow and expensive. Just better tokenomics. And I get that FTX and “centralized chain” but at the core the benefits of the Solana network far outweigh the benefits of the Ethereum network. My only worry is holding the actual token of SOL itself, the inflation scares me especially with minimal fee burn unlike ETH. Atp I’d rather just hold WBTC on solana lol

Thanks for looking!

That is super helpful. I didn't know there was a dex to swap from BTC native to WBTC on ether, thorchain will be handy.
Can you explain exactly what shielding means and why you do it?

I either use Threshold to get tBTC or Thorchain to swap into WBTC and then shield.
You can also shield ETH and swap into tBTC or WBTC
