Bridging tokens
You can move tokens in and out of Etherlink through a process called bridging. Different bridging processes move different kinds of tokens. See the following pages for information about the kind of token that you want to bridge:
- Bridging XTZ between Tezos layer 1 and Etherlink
- Bridging tokens between Etherlink and other EVM networks such as Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrum One, Optimism, Base, and BNB Chain
- Bridging FA tokens between Tezos layer 1 and Etherlink (coming soon)
Bridges
Etherlink developers have created bridges for different situations. These bridges are trustless and permissionless; anyone can use them without restrictions or the intervention of a third party.
