# FAQ

### **How long does bridging take?**

**2–5 minutes on average.**\
Bridging typically takes between 2 to 5 minutes depending on network congestion and the chains involved. Transactions are routed through **Stargate** and secured via **LayerZero**, ensuring fast and secure finality across chains.

### **What happens if my collateral value drops?**

**You risk liquidation.**\
If the value of your collateral falls below the required minimum collateralization ratio, your position can be **liquidated automatically**. This means your collateral may be sold to repay your debt. Always monitor your **Health Factor** and consider setting up **alerts**.

#### **Do I need gas tokens?**

**Yes — gas tokens are always required.**

* **NIBI** is **always required** for any transaction, whether it's on Nibiru or cross-chain. It covers gas fees on the Nibiru chain.
* **WETH (Wrapped ETH)** is additionally required **for cross-chain transactions where tokens will be received on Nibiru**. This applies to:
  * **Borrowing** from another chain with collateral on Nibiru
  * **Withdrawing collateral** cross-chain to Nibiru

### **How is collateral bridged?**

**Via Stargate + LayerZero.**\
Collateral is transferred cross-chain using **Stargate’s liquidity protocol**, with messaging and transaction validation handled by **LayerZero**.
