# Bridge to Sonic

## SONIC Gateway by Sonic Labs

The Sonic Gateway is our trustless bridge that facilitates ERC-20 token transfers between Ethereum and Sonic. By leveraging Sonic’s own validator network, with validators operating nodes on both chains, it establishes a secure, decentralized channel between the two platforms.

Most importantly, only users have access to the funds transferred via the Sonic Gateway; there is no possibility for any centralized authority to override user control or access funds through a master key.

The Sonic Gateway is also designed for efficiency. Transfers from Ethereum to Sonic only take up to 10 minutes, while transfers from Sonic to Ethereum take up to 1 hour.
