Hedera connects to other chains through two live interoperability networks: Axelar and LayerZero. You can bridge through SaucerSwap’s own bridge page or go directly to the underlying front ends.
The Hashport bridge was permanently decommissioned on May 31, 2026, and assets wrapped by it are permanently unredeemable. Do not follow older guides that route through Hashport, and do not send assets to Hashport contracts. Tokens carrying the [hts] suffix (for example USDC[hts]) are legacy Hashport-wrapped assets that can no longer be redeemed for the original asset on their source chain.
The bridge page of the web app lets you move assets between Hedera and other chains without leaving SaucerSwap. Under the hood it routes through the Axelar and LayerZero networks. See the bridge tutorial for a step-by-step walkthrough, fee and timing expectations, and troubleshooting.

​
Squid (Axelar)

Axelar provides proof-of-stake-secured cross-chain communication. Squid is the main routing front end built on it, supporting bridging and cross-chain swaps between Hedera and major EVM chains. Squid works best with an EVM wallet such as MetaMask. Token issuers can deploy existing Hedera HTS tokens to other chains through Axelar’s Interchain Token Service — see For projects for the listing walkthrough.

​
Stargate (LayerZero)

LayerZero is an omnichain interoperability protocol for lightweight message passing across chains. Stargate is its primary bridging front end and supports transfers between Hedera and other connected networks.

​
Tracking a transfer

Bridging takes anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the chains involved. For Axelar-routed transfers, you can track status on AxelarScan by searching your transaction hash or wallet address.
