Bridging to Canto

With the app.canto.io frontend, you can natively bridge to Canto from Ethereum, Cosmos Hub, and other IBC-enabled chains. Once bridged, you'll be able to move assets to the Canto EVM and begin interacting with Canto's Free Public Infrastructure and DApps.
At present, the Ethereum bridge supports WETH, USDC, USDT, and wstETH transfers (via Gravity Bridge) as well as CANTO and cNOTE transfers (via LayerZero). To bridge assets from the Ethereum network to the Canto network, follow these steps:
Navigate to app.canto.io/bridge and connect your MetaMask wallet on the Ethereum network.
Select the token you would like to bridge and input the quantity.
Click BRIDGE IN and confirm the transaction(s) in your wallet. In addition to the bridge transaction, you may need to confirm transactions to wrap ETH and/or approve the token.
When bridging to Canto for the first time, you will also be prompted to sign a message in your wallet to generate a public key for the Canto network.
Assets bridged from Ethereum arrive on the Canto EVM after approximately 20 minutes.
IBC transfers can be used to bridge selected assets including ATOM, GRAV, and OSMO to Canto from Cosmos Hub and other IBC-enabled chains.
To ensure the assets you bridge in can be used on the Canto EVM, use the app.canto.io frontend to initiate IBC transfers:
Navigate to app.canto.io/bridge and connect your MetaMask wallet on the Ethereum network.
Select the IBC token you would like to bridge. This will prompt a Keplr popup asking you to unlock your wallet, connect to the token's native network, and add the Canto network (if necessary).
Input the quantity and click BRIDGE IN.
Confirm the transaction in Keplr.
When bridging to Canto for the first time, you will also be prompted to sign a message in your wallet to generate a public key for the Canto network.
