How to bridge to Berachain
Bridging moves your crypto onto Berachain so you can transact and deploy tokens cheaply. Here is how to do it safely.
What bridging means
A bridge moves an asset from another chain onto Berachain. You end up with funds on Berachain that you can swap for BERA and use for gas.
Using a bridge
- Use an official or well-known bridge that supports Berachain.
- Connect your wallet, pick the asset and amount, and confirm on the source chain.
- Funds arrive on Berachain — usually within minutes.
The simplest route
Some exchanges let you withdraw BERA directly on Berachain — check your exchange first, as it can be faster and cheaper than bridging.
Stay safe
Only use bridges linked from official sources — fake bridge sites are a common scam. Verify the URL and start with a small test. Then keep a little BERA for gas and you are ready to create a token.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need BERA to bridge?
You pay gas on the source chain for the bridge transaction. Once on Berachain, a little BERA covers everything.
How long does bridging take?
Usually a few minutes, depending on the bridge and confirmations.
Is bridging safe?
