1. Navigate to https://pancakeswap.finance/bridge

2. Ensure your wallet is connected

1. Select your source and destination chains via the network selectors

1. Input the amount you wish to send and select the token from the dropdown

• Tip: Always double-check the token contract address before sending!

1. Review the “You Receive” section to confirm all details are correct

• PancakeSwap selects from multiple bridge providers based on your source and destination chains.

• Providers differ in fees, processing times, and possible restrictions—these will be clearly shown.

• Tags help you compare routes:

  • Best Return = highest received amount

  • Fastest = quickest transfer time

Use these tags to balance speed and value according to your needs.

On your first transaction with a bridge provider, you’ll be prompted to approve the token transfer (this is a one-time action)

• For your second transaction, simply click “Send” and your bridge transfer will begin

1. Sit back and relax! Most bridge transfers complete in just a few minutes. Once completed, your tokens will appear in your Ethereum address.
