Preparing Your Funds

Bridging Tokens to Ethereum Mainnet

If your crypto isn’t on the Ethereum Mainnet (e.g., Arbitrum, Optimism), you’ll need to bridge it first:

  1. Connect MetaMask to the MetaMask Portfolio.
  2. Select Bridge and choose your source/destination networks.
  3. Pick the token (e.g., USDT) and confirm ETH as the output.
  4. Review quotes from bridge providers and execute the transaction.
