Hedera has two token standards living side by side: native Hedera Token Service (HTS) tokens and ERC-20 contract tokens on Hedera’s EVM layer. Most of the Hedera ecosystem uses HTS, but some EVM-native wallets, contracts, and cross-chain tooling expect ERC-20. The ERC-20 wrapping tool converts a token between the two forms, in both directions.

​
When you need it

  • You bridged or received a token in its ERC-20 form and want to use it on HTS-native surfaces.
  • An EVM contract or integration you use (typically via MetaMask) expects a standard ERC-20 rather than an HTS token.
  • A cross-chain workflow hands you one form and the destination app needs the other.
If you just want to see an HTS token inside MetaMask, you usually do not need to wrap — importing the token by its EVM address is enough. See Why can I not see my tokens in MetaMask?

​
Wrap or unwrap

1

Open the tool

Go to saucerswap.finance/erc20 and connect your wallet.
2

Choose direction and token

Select whether you are wrapping (HTS to ERC-20) or unwrapping (ERC-20 to HTS), then pick the token and enter the amount.
3

Confirm

Review the transaction and sign it in your wallet. Your balance moves from one form to the other; the interface shows both.

​
Risks and caveats

Wrapped and unwrapped balances are separate assets: apps that read one form will not see the other. Before wrapping a large amount, convert a small test amount and confirm the destination app sees it as expected.
  • Each wrap or unwrap is a transaction and costs HBAR network fees.
  • Receiving the HTS form of a token requires token association first; the interface prompts you when needed.
  • As always, review exactly what your wallet asks you to sign.
