The BAG Bridge is a smart contract-based application that allows you to transfer tokens between different smart chain networks (e.g., Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Fantom, etc.)
Using the BAG Bridge app, you first deposit the tokens you would like to bridge. Once the required confirmations have been reached by the network, a claim link appears which allows you to make a withdrawal on the receiving network.
In the current (Beta) release, BAG Bridge supports transferring BAG and BGLD tokens between the Ethereum network and the Binance Smart Chain network (BSC). In the near future, we will be opening the bridge to support any ERC20 token on any EVM-compatible network.
To facilitate bridging by BAG hodlers during the Beta period, the Blockchain Adventurers Guild has airdropped up to 0.02 BNB gas to all users holding at least 1 BAG as of 5/18/2021.
Currently you must make the withdrawal within 3 days. After this time, the deposited amount becomes fully refundable on the source chain where you made the original deposit.
There is a 0.25% withdrawal fee upon successful completion of a bridge transaction. There is no fee if you pass the withdrawal time limit (currently 3 days) and choose to have the original deposit refunded instead.
The bridge has been extensively tested by trusted, veteran crypto developers and is currently undergoing an audit. That said, during the Beta period, the Blockchain Adventurers Guild treasury will fully insure any losses that may result from bridge malfunction.
Astute BAG hodlers may notice some peculiarities with the token/contract addresses on the different chains. For example, the BGLD token address on Ethereum (0xabb63BfCBBe7A928864BD3EB75Ff06746E1B8A40) looks the same as the BAG token address on Binance Smart Chain! This is a bit of coincidence caused by the fact that in an EVM-compatible network, the address of a contract is created based on the deployer address and its nonce. Since we use the same deployer address on both chains, some of the contracts happen to have overlapping addresses. When looking at a contract address, always be mindful of which chain you're look at too!

Gold Mines are where you can farm BGLD (BAG Gold) by staking either BAG or BAG/wETH UNI-V2 LP tokens. The full tokenomics of BAG and BGLD are desribed in the Brown Paper.
When you withdraw or claim from the Genesis Farms, you will be presented with an option to stake your BAG or your BAG/wETH UNI-V2 LP tokens in the Gold Mine of your choice.
There are four initial Gold Mines as follows. All of them will be emitting BGLD for 1 year. There are three in which you stake BAG to earn BGLD, and one in which you stake BAG/wETH UNI-V2 LP to earn BGLD at a higher rate.
Currently, the APR in the Gold Mines are calculated based on a price of 1 BGLD = $20. This is based on the fact that BGLD will initially be used for in-game redemption at a price of $20, and will also be available for sale from the treasury at an initial price of $20 / BGLD.
The initial Gold Mines will emit BGLD for about 1 year. The exact Ethereum block number are here:

The tokenomics are described in the Brown Paper.
Yes. Please refer to the Brown Paper for further details.

No, as long as you withdraw after the initial launch period (Block 12293640). If you withdraw before then, there will be a 0.3% early withdrawal fee. For advanced users, there is a third option, which you can read about here.
