# How to BRIDGE assets
## **Brief Introduction of How Bridge Works**
Bridging (**NOT swapping**) is the process of **moving token** from one chain to another. This process requires **2 transactions**, depositing the token onto Bridging Protocol, if Bridging Protocol has **enough liquidity**, it will transfer the token to your destination chain into your wallet. During this process, you can check on your **deposit transaction hashes** for the status.

If you already have assets (e.g. Ethereum, DAI and etc.) on other blockchains, you can bridge them to get their **equivalent value** on the chain you selected using the following bridge protocols.
