Bridging & Network Risk
In addition to the canonical THAT token contract on Ethereum, THAT may be made available on other supported networks (for example, Polygon) through bridge mechanisms that:
lock tokens on Ethereum and mint corresponding representations on the destination network, and
burn those representations to release tokens back on Ethereum.
These bridging arrangements are implemented using smart contracts and, in some cases, third-party operators or validators. As with other blockchain infrastructure, this introduces additional technical and operational considerations compared with holding tokens directly on the canonical Ethereum contract.
Under normal conditions, bridged THAT on other networks is intended to be economically backed by locked THAT on Ethereum. Users who choose to hold or use bridged versions of THAT should:
ensure they understand how the relevant bridge works
verify contract addresses and providers from official sources
assess whether such use aligns with their own risk tolerance.
Bridge availability, configuration, and security may change over time. The Company does not guarantee the continued operation, security, or redeemability of any bridge or bridged representation of THAT, and does not operate any account, stored-value balance, or non-cash payment facility in connection with bridging. Bridges may be paused, altered, or discontinued by their operators, and users bear the risk of any losses resulting from bridge failures, exploits, or other technical issues.
