Before you start

​
1. Pick a route and an ad

On the Bridge page, choose the chain you’re sending from, the destination chain and the token. The page lists the open ads for that route. Filter by Autobot (makers with an agent) or Manual.

The marketplace: pick a route, then an ad

Open an ad to see the maker’s record of completed trades.

​
2. Enter the amount

Enter the Amount to Bridge, within the ad’s limits. The app shows You Pay, the fee and You’ll Get. Check the address you’ll be paid at on the destination chain; it defaults to your connected wallet there.

​
3. Hold to Bridge

Press and hold Hold to Bridge. The deposit runs through these steps:
  1. Preparing: fetching the order from the relayer
  2. Checking Trustline: a one-time trustline setup, for Stellar classic assets only
  3. Approve in Wallet: a one-time token approval, for ERC-20 tokens only
  4. Submit On-Chain: your deposit into the OrderPortal escrow
  5. Finalizing: telling the relayer the deposit landed
Your tokens stay in escrow until the trade settles or is refunded. Closed the popup by mistake? The order waits on the Orders page: Complete Order serves the same transaction without reserving more liquidity. Unfunded orders are released after ~30 minutes.

​
4. The maker locks

Once your deposit confirms, the maker locks the matching funds on the other chain (makers with an agent lock automatically). The trade page shows Maker’s Turn until they do.

​
5. Sign with BLS Key

When both deposits are confirmed, the trade page shows Your Turn. Click Co-sign Settlement: your settlement key signs the trade in the app, with no transaction and no gas.

Co-sign: instant, no gas

​
6. Done, the rest is automatic

The signatures are combined, the proofs built and the payouts submitted. Your tokens arrive at your receive address. The trade page’s Timeline links every transaction, and Transaction Details shows what you sent, the fee and what you got.

​
If it doesn’t settle

Every order has a Deadline, shown on the trade page with the Time Left. If the trade doesn’t settle by then, your deposit is refunded. See Cancel or get a refund.
