# Bridge

You can bridge assets to Opera using the protocols below to unlock access to a wealth of apps with instant, cheap transactions.

## Wormhole

Use [PortalBridge](https://portalbridge.com/) to bridge USDC from Ethereum to Opera. Upon completion, you will receive USDC.e on Opera, the [canonical stablecoin](https://docs.fantom.foundation/technology/stablecoin) for our chain.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can only bridge the USDC stablecoin from Ethereum and not from any other chains.
{% endhint %}

## Squid Router

To bridge any asset from most EVM chains to Opera, use [Squid](https://app.squidrouter.com/). Powered by Axelar, Squid automatically swaps and bridges assets for you. It leverages existing DEXs on each chain to swap and bridge native tokens.

Axelar handles all cross-chain gas conversion from the source-chain token to the destination-chain token, so users don’t need to maintain wallets on different chains, hold tokens for gas fees, or make multiple transactions to complete a transfer.

For example, you can bridge ETH on Arbitrum to FTM on Opera in one step.
