How to Bridge to Base (All Methods)

Intro

If you're new to Base or just want the fastest way to get funds onto the network, this guide has you covered.

We’ll walk through all the latest and easiest bridging methods, from moving native BTC, to transferring assets from Ethereum, to bridging from other chains like Arbitrum or Optimism.

 

Method 1

Garden Finance is currently the only bridge that lets you bring native Bitcoin onto Base as cbBTC, a wrapped BTC asset on the Base network.

1. Connect Your Wallets

You’ll need two separate wallets:

🔹 Bitcoin wallet (to send BTC):

  • Xverse (recommended)

  • Unisat

🔹 Base wallet (to receive cbBTC):

  • MetaMask

  • Coinbase Wallet

Then:

  1. Go to https://Garden.Finance

  1. Click Connect

  2. Connect your Bitcoin wallet first

  3. Then connect your Base wallet

  4. You should now see the route: BTC → cbBTC (Base)

2. Bridge Your BTC

  1. Enter the amount of BTC you want to bridge

  2. Click Bridge

  3. Approve the BTC transaction in your Bitcoin wallet

  4. Wait for the Bitcoin confirmations (a few minutes)

  5. cbBTC will automatically appear in your Base wallet

    • (You may need to import the token contract manually)

That's it, you’ve successfully moved native BTC onto Base!

 

 

Method 2

Superbridge is the official OP Stack L1 → L2 bridge, supporting transfers from Ethereum mainnet to Base.

Supported route: Ethereum → Base

  2. Enter the amount

  3. Click Bridge

  4. Confirm the transaction in MetaMask

  5. Wait ~5 minutes for Base finality

Your tokens will appear in your wallet on Base once the bridge completes.

 

 

Method 3

Brid.gg is a bridge aggregator that routes your transfer through the cheapest + fastest path available.

If you use Coinbase, the easiest way to get funds onto Base is to withdraw directly to the Base network. No third-party bridge needed.

1. Open Coinbase

  3. Enter the amount of ETH/USDC you want to send.
  4. Review the fee and confirm the transaction.

Within a short time, your ETH or USDC will arrive directly on Base in your wallet.

 

Method 5

Across is a fast, low-cost bridge that’s great for moving funds from other Layer 2s (like Arbitrum or Optimism) onto Base.

1. Connect Your Wallet

  1. Go to https://across.to
  2. Connect your wallet (MetaMask or similar).
  3. Select your source network (e.g., Arbitrum, Optimism).

Other Bridging Options

There are several other bridge protocols that support Base, including:

  • Stargate - Great for stablecoin transfers between major chains.
  • Orbiter Finance - Focused on fast, low-fee L2 → L2 bridging.
  • Native L3 bridges - Some Layer 3s (like Degen Chain) offer their own bridges back to Base.

Before using any bridge, always double-check the URL, start with small test amounts, and be cautious of phishing sites.
