How bridging works

  • A bridge moves value from one network to another. You send on the source chain and receive on Ink.
  • Ink uses ETH for gas. Keep a little ETH on Ink, or you cannot do anything after you arrive.
  • Quotes include fees and a minimum you will receive. Read them before you confirm.
  • Routes can take several transactions, and you may need gas on more than one network.
  • Bridges carry smart contract, liquidity and provider risk. Ink’s docs say to use them at your own risk.

Before you bridge

  1. Open the bridge from a link you trust, such as the Ink docs bridge list, and check the URL.
  2. Pick the source network, then Ink as the destination. Check the destination twice.
  3. Send a small test amount first.
  4. When it lands, look at your address on the Ink explorer to confirm.
