Moving funds between networks

A bridge connects balances or messages across different chains. Bridging is not the same as sending tokens to an address on the current network. The source chain, destination chain, supported asset and recipient all need to match.

Use the bridge linked from the network’s official documentation. Review the fee and arrival estimate before confirming. Keep the source transaction hash and check its status in the explorer; never send a second transfer just because a page has not refreshed.
