The EVM bridge supports connections from Etherlink to these networks:

• Ethereum
• Avalanche C-Chain

• Optimism
• Base
• BNB Chain

It allows users to transfer several wrapped tokens, including USDT, USDC, WBTC, WETH, WAVAX, WBNB and SHIB. To start, go to the Etherlink wrapped asset bridge at Etherlink Bridge. Connect your EVM wallet. Select the chain you're bridging from, as well as the token, and the transfer amount. Select Etherlink as your target network. Click transfer and boom!
