# Bridge assets in the app

> Move tokens between Hedera and other chains from SaucerSwap's bridge page, with routing over Axelar and LayerZero, fee expectations, and fixes.

The **bridge** page moves assets between Hedera and other chains without leaving the SaucerSwap app. Transfers route over the Axelar and LayerZero interoperability networks — the same infrastructure behind Squid and Stargate — with the routing handled for you.

<Warning>
  Never bridge through Hashport guides or contracts: the Hashport bridge was permanently decommissioned on May 31, 2026, and assets wrapped by it are permanently unredeemable. See [Bridge to Hedera](/get-started/bridge-to-hedera).
</Warning>

## Prerequisites

* A connected [wallet](/get-started/wallet) — cross-chain routes generally work best with an EVM wallet such as MetaMask, which can hold assets on both sides
* Gas on the source chain (HBAR when bridging from Hedera; the native token of the source chain otherwise)
* The token you want to bridge

## Bridge step by step

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the bridge page">
    Go to the **bridge** page and connect your wallet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose source and destination">
    Select the source chain and the token you are sending, then the destination chain and the token to receive.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the amount and review">
    Enter how much to bridge. Review the quoted route, the estimated fees (network gas on both chains plus the route's bridge fee), and the estimated arrival time before continuing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve and confirm">
    Approve the token if prompted, then confirm the bridge transaction in your wallet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for delivery">
    Cross-chain transfers take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours depending on the chains involved. The source-chain transaction confirming quickly does not mean the transfer is complete — delivery happens in a second transaction on the destination chain.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify arrival">
    Check your balance on the destination chain. For Axelar-routed transfers, track progress on [AxelarScan](https://axelarscan.io/) by searching your transaction hash or wallet address.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Troubleshooting

| Problem                                     | What to do                                                                                                                        |
| ------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Transfer seems stuck                        | Look up the transaction hash on [AxelarScan](https://axelarscan.io/); most "stuck" transfers are still propagating between chains |
| Tokens arrived but are invisible            | On Hedera, associate the token with your account; in MetaMask, import the token by its EVM address                                |
| Transaction fails at the start              | Check you have enough gas on the source chain and that your wallet holds the token being bridged                                  |
| Issue after a successful source transaction | For Squid/Axelar routes, contact [Squid support](https://support.squidrouter.com/) with your transaction hash                     |
