# Lifecycle of bridging session

#### Process Overview

To transfer Token A from Chain Y to Token B on Chain Y, the user first retrieves a quote and selects the best route. If necessary, approval for Bungee contracts is indicated. After executing the transaction, the platform monitors its progress. For single-step transactions, both the Swap and Bridge are completed simultaneously. For multi-step bridging, additional transactions, such as token swaps on the destination chain, follow. The transaction progresses based on the API’s status. Once all steps are completed, the recipient receives the funds, and the route is marked "COMPLETED."
