Bridging

Bridging allows you to transfer supported Avant Protocol tokens (e.g., avETH) across supported blockchains directly in the app. Cross-chain transfers are routed in-app through Chainlink CCIP and LayerZero.

  1. Review Details & Bridge

The interface will display the estimated bridging fee and the ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival). Review this information carefully before proceeding.

  • Approve: Before initiating the bridge, you must grant the protocol permission to interact with the selected token.

  • Bridge: After the approval is confirmed, click the Bridge button and confirm the final transaction in your wallet.

Monitoring Your Transfer

Once you have submitted the transaction, you can monitor its status in the bridge interface.

The transfer should typically complete within the ETA provided. However, times can vary depending on the congestion of the networks involved. If your transaction takes significantly longer than the estimated time, please reach out to the team.
