Delete bridge

DELETE/bridges/{id}●Permanently remove a bridge from the ledger.

The bridge cannot be deleted while it is referenced by wallets, effects, forwarding configurations, or unfinished intents. Remove all dependencies before deleting the bridge.

The change history remains accessible after deletion — use the record's LUID to query it. Previous record versions can be retrieved for auditing.

A POST alternative is available for clients that cannot send request bodies with DELETE requests.

Broadcasts the bridge-dropped signal. Use effects to subscribe.

Update bridge PUT

The request must include the current record hash in `data.parent` to prevent conflicts from concurrent updates. If the parent hash does not match the record's current hash, the request is rejected with a 422 error. Broadcasts the `bridge-updated` signal. Use [effects](/ledger/reference/api/effect) to subscribe.

Add bridge proof POST

Appends a signed proof to the record. The proof must be signed against the record's current hash. Use proofs to change status, update labels, or record custom data — see [About Proofs](/ledger/structuring-data/about-proofs) for details. Returns the updated record with the new proof in `meta.proofs`. Broadcasts the `bridge-proofs-added` signal. Use [effects](/ledger/reference/api/effect) to subscribe.
