A flow bridge moves your tokens to Flow EVM from another network, or back. Here you choose the token you have, the token you want on Flow EVM and sign once: a cross-chain route handles the bridge and any swap.
What Is Flow EVM?
Flow EVM is the EVM environment of the Flow blockchain; gas is paid in FLOW.

How to Bridge to Flow EVM
- Connect your wallet on the network where your tokens are.
- From: the token you have, for example ETH on Ethereum or USDC on Arbitrum.
- To: the token you want on Flow EVM; add a little FLOW for gas.
- Enter your Flow EVM address (0x…).
- Review the quote and confirm.
How to Bridge Back from Flow EVM
Reverse the route: choose the token on Flow EVM as the source and the token and network you want as the destination. Keep enough FLOW on Flow EVM to pay for the transaction.
Flow EVM Tips
Flow also has non-EVM (Cadence) accounts with a different address format; bridges here use the EVM (0x) address.
Mistakes to Avoid
- No FLOW for gas on arrival.
- Wrong address format: Flow EVM uses 0x (EVM) addresses.
- Fake bridge sites: use the widget or bookmarked apps, never links from direct messages; see crypto bridge safety.
