A monad bridge moves your tokens to Monad from another network, or back. Here you choose the token you have, the token you want on Monad and sign once: a cross-chain route handles the bridge and any swap. On October 23, 2026, 0.2 ETH (about $480) from Ethereum arrived as about $471 of MON in seconds.

How to Bridge to Monad
- Connect your wallet on the network where your tokens are.

- To: the token you want on Monad; add a little MON for gas.
- Enter your Monad address (0x…).
- Review the quote and confirm.
How to Bridge Back from Monad
Reverse the route: choose the token on Monad as the source and the token and network you want as the destination. Keep enough MON on Monad to pay for the transaction.
Monad Tips
Arriving with only ETH or USDC is not enough to transact: take a little MON for gas.
Mistakes to Avoid
- No MON for gas on arrival.
- Wrong address format: Monad uses 0x (EVM) addresses.
- Fake bridge sites: use the widget or bookmarked apps, never links from direct messages; see crypto bridge safety.
