## How It Works

### Hedera → Avalanche

1. Your NFT is **locked** in a secure smart contract on Hedera
2. A **wrapped version** is minted on Avalanche
3. The wrapped NFT has identical metadata and artwork

### Avalanche → Hedera

1. Your wrapped NFT is **burned** on Avalanche
2. The original NFT is **unlocked** on Hedera
3. You receive your original NFT back

## Security

* Smart contracts are designed with security best practices
* Only the bridge authority can mint/unlock NFTs
* Your NFT is never destroyed - it's either locked or unlocked
