The bridge supports multiple paths for bridging assets to and from the LightLink network, the Standard Bridge is a permissionless option intended for use as an 'escape hatch' from the network if a user needs to retrieve their ETH if other options are unavailable.

The most user friendly option for bridging assets to and from LightLink is the Stargate Bridge, users can bridge their ETH, USDC, USDT or LL tokens in a matter of minutes via Stargate and LayerZero.
