How to bridge to Scroll

Bridging moves your crypto from Ethereum onto Scroll so you can transact for a fraction of a cent. Here is how to do it safely.

What bridging means

A bridge locks your asset on Ethereum and issues the equivalent on Scroll. Deposits to Scroll are usually quick; withdrawals back to Ethereum take longer for finalization.

Using the official bridge

• Use the official Scroll bridge at scroll.io/bridge.
• Connect your wallet, pick ETH or USDC and the amount, confirm on Ethereum (you pay Ethereum gas for this step).
• Funds arrive on Scroll — usually within minutes to ~20 minutes.

The simplest route

Some exchanges let you withdraw ETH directly on Scroll — check your exchange before bridging, as it can be faster and cheaper.

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 ETH for gas and you are ready to create a token.

What is bridging to Scroll?

Bridging to Scroll means moving assets from another blockchain onto Scroll so you can use them there. Because crypto is multichain — value is spread across many networks — bridges let you move funds to wherever you want to be active. Once your assets are on Scroll, you can trade, use its apps, and pay Scroll network fees. Bridges add a step and some risk, so always use trusted, official bridge routes.

After you bridge to Scroll

Once you have bridged to Scroll and have some of its assets for fees, the network is fully open to you — you can trade on Scroll DEXs, explore its DeFi, and create your own token on Scroll. Many people bridge to Scroll specifically to launch a project there, and with a no-code creator you can create a Scroll token in minutes once you are set up, keeping full ownership.
