What is bridging?
Bridging is the process of transferring assets from one blockchain network to another. For example, if you hold crypto on Ethereum, you can only send, receive, and swap assets within Ethereum unless you bridge them to another network like Arbitrum.
Slingshot makes bridging seamless through our integration with Socket. While support for Canto is coming soon, bridging is currently available for all other supported networks.
Note: Only tokens supported by Socket are available for bridging.
Slingshot web bridging guide
Follow these steps to bridge tokens using Slingshot on web:
Open the bridge Tab
From the top menu on the Slingshot web interface, click the "Bridge" tab.
Select networks
Choose the origin and destination networks for your bridge (e.g., Ethereum → Arbitrum).
Choose token and amount
Select a supported token for bridging and enter the amount you'd like to send.
Select bridging speed
Choose your preferred bridging speed. Different options may come with different fees.
Click 'Review'
Once you've filled in all selections, click "Review" to begin finalizing your bridge.
Approve the token
Your connected wallet will prompt you to approve the selected token for bridging. Click "Confirm".
Confirm the bridge
Your wallet will prompt you again to confirm the bridge itself. Once confirmed, the Slingshot interface will show that the bridge is in progress.
Wait for completion
Bridging may take a few minutes to complete.
If you navigate away, you can check the status from the top menu bar, and you'll be notified once bridging is done.
If you have questions or run into issues while bridging, visit help.slingshot.finance or use the chat widget in the bottom-right corner of the screen. You can also reach support in-app via Profile → Settings → Help Center → Contact Support.
