How to bridge to Sonic
Bridging moves your crypto onto Sonic 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 Sonic. You end up with funds on Sonic that you can swap for S and use for gas.
Using a bridge
- Use the official Sonic gateway or a well-known bridge that supports Sonic.
- Connect your wallet, pick the asset and amount, and confirm on the source chain.
- Funds arrive on Sonic — usually within minutes.
Make sure you have S for gas
Whatever you bridge, you need a small amount of S on Sonic to pay gas. Some bridges deliver native S; otherwise swap a little into S on a Sonic 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.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need S to use Sonic?
Yes — a little S covers gas on Sonic. Withdraw it from an exchange or bridge and swap.
How long does bridging take?
Usually a few minutes, depending on the bridge and confirmations.
Is bridging safe?
Use only the official gateway or well-known bridges and always verify the URL. Start with a small test.
