Bridging funds from Ethereum to Sei
Here’s a video of step-by-step guide on how to bridge funds into your Sei wallet from Ethereum 👇 (The process is same for other blockchains listed above)
You would need a Compass wallet for Sei extension before you bridge your funds.
Alternatively, you can follow these steps 👇:
Before we get started, make sure you have installed Compass wallet and upgraded your Compass Wallet to v0.7.8 or above so that you can access Sei Mainnet.
Click on Compass wallet in your extension bar on your browser & enter your password to unlock your Compass wallet
Click on the "Connect Wallet" button and select Compass Wallet.
Go to Bridge from the left-hand menu & select “Ethereum” in the “From“ dropdown list.
Now connect your Ethereum Wallet by clicking on the “Connect Wallet” button and enter the amount of token you want to bridge from Ethereum.
Now, click autofill address option. Note that the destination wallet will be the same Sei wallet you connected in step 3.
Click on Bridge to Sei and approve the transaction on your Ethereum wallet to initiate the bridge transfer. That’s it. Congrats 🥳on your first bridge transfer to Sei Mainnet!
Please note that depending on the network load, it might take some time to get your funds transferred from Ethereum to Sei. While the bridging is being processed, you can click on the “You have a bridge transaction in progress” button on the top to track the bridging progress.
