# 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](/technology/stablecoin.md) 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fantom.foundation/introduction/bridge.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
