Bridge funds to another network
Bridging moves your tokens from one blockchain network to another. Use it when your funds are on one network but need to be on a different one, for example, if the recipient can only receive funds on that network.
Before you bridge
- Make sure you have the tokens on the source network (the network you're bridging from).
- Know which destination network you want to bridge to.
- Most bridges complete in 10-30 minutes, but they can take longer during periods of high network activity.
Steps
- Tap Convert in the Kite app.
- Select your networks. Choose the source network (where your funds are now) and the destination network (where you want them to arrive).
- Choose the token and enter the amount. Select USDC or USDT, then enter the amount. Kite shows the estimated cost and completion time before you confirm.
- Review the details. Double-check the source network, destination network, token, and amount, then tap Continue.
- Wait for the bridge to complete. You'll receive a notification when your funds arrive, then switch to the destination network in Kite to view your updated balance.
Good to know
- Bridging takes longer than transfers on the same network because the transaction has to be completed across two blockchains.
- Once the bridge is complete, switch to the destination network in Kite to see your funds.
