How to bridge to Metis
Bridging moves your crypto onto Metis 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 Metis. You end up with funds on Metis that you can swap for METIS and use for gas.
Using a bridge
- Use the official Metis bridge or a well-known bridge that supports Metis.
- Connect your wallet, pick the asset and amount, and confirm on the source chain.
- Funds arrive on Metis — usually within minutes.
Make sure you have METIS for gas
Whatever you bridge, you need a small amount of METIS on Metis to pay gas. Some bridges deliver native METIS; otherwise swap a little into METIS on a Metis DEX.
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 you are ready to create a token.
