Last week, we announced the addition of BSC network and HECO network support to the Orbit Bridge. And a few days ago, Belt Finance announced the addition of HECO liquidity pools to their existing BSC multi-strategy vaults. Coincidence? Maybe not.

Ozys, the company behind Orbit Bridge and Belt Finance, has been tirelessly working to connect various heterogeneous chains to allow assets scattered across different chains to be used together. These newly forged connections are part of the result of that effort.

Orbit Bridge has proved itself to be the standout IBC protocol in the DeFi space. Since its launch it has bridged over $5B worth of assets across different chains, a feat unmatched by any other decentralized service. This feat was achieved with Orbit Bridge’s innovative cross-chain asset conversion service that already allows users to move assets across Ethereum, ICON, Klaytn and Orbit networks.

Belt Finance’s stableswap AMM offers users the most efficient way to swap their stablecoins by offering significantly lower slippage than alternative swap protocols. Belt Finance is also focused on giving users the best yield through a combination of trading fee rewards and a multi-strategy optimization vault system. By utilizing multiple strategies simultaneously, Belt.fi minimizes dependence on any one protocol while generating users the best possible yield rates in DeFi. This also protects users from low-liquidity withdrawal issues.

We are excited for the changes these new additions of networks and integration will bring to both services we offer. We hope these new additions to Orbit Bridge will further increase the usability and ease of using Orbit Bridge, and to allow holders of these assets to take advantage of high yield optimization Belt offers.

Without further ado, here are the steps required to move assets from the BSC ecosystem to HECO.

Asset conversion through Orbit Bridge

*Orbit Bridge Website: https://bridge.orbitchain.io

*To receive cross-chain assets, you must have MetaMask or other supported wallets of the chains you wish to move assets from and to.

*You must also have both of the chain information added to MetaMask in order to move assets. Here is the guide for adding BSC to MetaMask, and HECO to MetaMask.

1–1) Select a Coin and Validator Group

Select a coin from the list (ie. BNB)
Select a Validator Group

1–2) Choose the base chain to convert from, and to. Enter the amount of asset, and the address to receive the assets in.

After making sure all the entered information is correct, press “Convert Now.”

1–3) Confirm the entered information, then allow Metamask to confirm the transaction.

Check all information within the Bridge confirmation window prior to pressing “Confirm.”

Afterwards, press “Confirm” within MetaMask to confirm the transaction, to complete the transfer over to the other network.

1–4) Adding the converted asset in MetaMask

Press “Add Token”

Enter the contract address of the asset as listed at the end of this document, and the rest of the fields will automatically be filled. Press “Next” to add the asset.

1–5) Checking the asset deposited in the destination chain, through MetaMask

After successfully adding the custom asset, it should now be visible from the main MetaMask screen.

We hope this guide proved useful in explaining how to move assets across from and to BSC, HECO and other chains. Please be aware that asset depositing always requires caution in entering the correct address, and we advise that you test using a small amount of token prior to moving large amounts of assets.

The following are the contract addresses for initially supported assets, as per the network they are on. Please use these contracts to add support in MetaMask.
