Been testing the trustless+permissionless bridge (SYS -> ETH) on testnet. So far so good. Was able to burn my way to ERC20 via SYS -> SYSX (SPT) -> SYSX (ERC20), and my SYSX is visible in MetaMask after successful submission of SPV Proofs. Still waiting to test ETH -> SYS. Some minor kinks in the bridge wizard dapp need to be worked out at the moment for ETH -> SYS. Images of my SYS -> ETH experience are here if interested:

0.01% token fee is visible, paid to Bridge Agent per transaction.
Currently testing Bridge Agent as well. Challenge mechanism appears to be functioning properly. Progress being made on all fronts relative to Bridge. If anyone likes the idea of earning 0.01% of tokens involved in bridge transactions, and 3 ETH for each superblock challenge won, then it's a good idea to start testing the Bridge Agent before mainnet; better to familiarize oneself on a free testnet. Plus participating in community testing really helps speed up dev.
Here's the guide for testing bridge from an end user perspective (using wizard dapp):https://medium.com/@bittyjohn1954/syscoin-4-1-syscoin-ethereum-bridge-89d3bb29f213The wizard allows us to test each step involved in the Bridge process. In the future this functionality will be far simpler for end users as the process can be automated - provide minimal info, push a button, cross the bridge type of functionality.
