Making IBC transfers from Keplr Wallet to Osmosis DEX

Ok, you’ve already deposited $ATOM into your Keplr wallet, what’s next? You can stake your $ATOM via Keplr, or if you want to explore the broader Cosmos ecosystem, you can move the assets to other Cosmos chains via IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication).

A very popular chain in the Cosmos ecosystem is Osmosis. Osmosis is the biggest DEX in Cosmos (by market cap) and a great place to do either swap, provide liquidity, and many more. In this guide, we will show you how to send your $ATOM to Osmosis.

Prerequisites

1. Create Keplr Wallet
2. Get your Osmosis address
   - Open Keplr extension
   - Change the network to Osmosis

- Click on the address below your account name to get your Osmosis address

Step 1: Send $ATOM to Osmosis

• Since we are going to send $ATOM (Cosmos Hub) tokens, let’s change the network back to Cosmos Hub
• Select [Transfer]

• Fill out the field;

Destination chain: The chain where we would like to make the transfer.

Select chain: Osmosis

Channel ID: channel-141

Recipient: Copy and paste the Osmosis address here.

Memo: Memo is optional, if not sure just leave it blank.

Click [Next]

• Input the $ATOM balance you wish to transfer, and choose the fee

Note: You will need to pay a small fee in $ATOM to approve the transaction. Please make sure you leave some $ATOM for this purpose.

• Click [Submit]

• Double-check the transaction again, if all is correct, then select [Approve]

• It’s done! Welcome to the Cosmos ecosystem.

Step 2: Check your $ATOM balance on Osmosis

• Open https://app.osmosis.zone/
• Connect your Keplr Wallet on Osmosis

• Your wallet will look like this if it is successful.

• Click on the [Asset] tab
• Your $ATOM balance should be here on Osmosis

Note: That’s all! It is recommended to start by using small amounts if you are a first-time user. Try sending more as you gain experience with Keplr.
