What is Bridging?
Bridging cryptocurrency is like using a special service to move your tokens between blockchains. Since each blockchain (like The Root Network or Ethereum) works separately, you can’t send tokens directly from one to another. A bridge lets you lock up your coins on one blockchain and create a version of them on another so you can use them there.
How to Bridge Tokens from XRPL to The Root Network
If you have tokens on the XRPL blockchain and want to bridge them over to The Root Network, or vice versa, follow these steps to do so:
Prerequisites:
An XRPL wallet and balance: we suggest Xaman.
A FuturePass
Step 1: Log in
Login to your FuturePass and click ‘Stuff’ at the bottom of your navigation bar.
Step 2: Navigate to the ‘Tokens’ tab
Click on your ‘Tokens’ tab and then click ‘Bridge’ to open up the bridging interface.
Step 3: Confirm Bridging Details
Select the token you wish to bridge and enter the desired amount.
ℹ️ Note: You may have the same coin across multiple networks so it’s important to double-check that the one you have selected is from the right network.
Ensure you are bridging your tokens from and to the correct networks. You can confirm the networks are correct by reviewing the network segment highlighted in red below.
