What This Strategy Does
Large bridge transfers often precede DeFi activity (yield farming, liquidations, token launches) on the destination chain. Monitoring these flows in real-time provides early signals about where capital is moving.
Works when: Works best when large transfers (>$1M) aggregate in one direction. Historical data shows 58% correlation with destination-chain token price moves within 4h.
Fails when: Fails for routine treasury operations, airdrop claims, and when bridge flows are noise (many small transfers with no directional bias).

Entry/Exit Checklist
- ✅ Net bridge flow exceeds $5M in trailing 1h
- ✅ Majority is stablecoins (not token-specific)
- ✅ Destination chain has DeFi catalysts (new pools, high yields)
- ✅ Cross-reference with on-chain DEX volume increase
- ⚠️ Ignore bridge flows during known airdrop events
- ⚠️ Verify flows aren't circular (same entity bridging back and forth)
Math & Logic
Net Flow = Inbound Bridge Volume − Outbound Volume Signal: Net Flow > $5M in 1h = bullish for destination chain Filter: Only count transfers >$100K (ignore dust)
