A sonic bridge moves your tokens to Sonic from another network, or back. Here you choose the token you have, the token you want on Sonic and sign once: a cross-chain route handles the bridge and any swap. On October 23, 2026, 0.2 ETH (about $479) from Ethereum arrived as about $480 of S in seconds.
What Is Sonic?
Sonic is an EVM Layer 1 from the team behind Fantom; gas is paid in S, the token that replaced FTM.

How to Bridge to Sonic
- 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 Sonic; add a little S for gas.
- Enter your Sonic address (0x…).
- Review the quote and confirm.
How to Bridge Back from Sonic
Reverse the route: choose the token on Sonic as the source and the token and network you want as the destination. Keep enough S on Sonic to pay for the transaction.
Sonic Tips
If you still hold FTM, it is a different token from S; check the migration status in the official Sonic docs before bridging old balances.
Mistakes to Avoid
- No S for gas on arrival.
- Wrong address format: Sonic uses 0x (EVM) addresses.
- Fake bridge sites: use the widget or bookmarked apps, never links from direct messages; see crypto bridge safety.
