How to complete a crosschain transaction (TRX)
An in-depth guide outlining how to complete a TRX crosschain transaction using the WanBridge web portal with TronLink and MetaMask.
This guide will demonstrate two separate crosschain transactions:
- $TRX from the Tron Network to Wanchain using WanBridge Web with TronLink Wallet
- $TRX from Wanchain to the Tron Network using WanBridge Web with Metamask
Crosschain transactions using the WanBridge web portal
$TRX crosschain transaction from the Tron Network to Wanchain
Step 1: Make sure you have the appropriate wallets installed.
Before completing decentralised crosschain transactions using the WanBridge web portal, you need to ensure you have access to the correct wallet(s). You must have wallets for each network involved in the crosschain transaction. Metamask is a fantastic wallet that grants you access to any EVM-compatible blockchain networks. TronLink is a browser extension wallet that grants you access to the Tron Network.
Step 2: Visit the WanBridge web portal and open your TronLink browser extension.
There is no need to click the “Connect to Wallet” button. WanBridge will automatically connect to your TronLink wallet in the next step.
Note: Make sure you have unlocked you TronLink Wallet browser extension!
Step 3: Initiate a crosschain transaction to move your $TRX from the Tron Network to Wanchain.
Select “TRX” from the drop-down menu. Then, choose “Tron” and “Wanchain” as your From and To networks, respectively. Finally, input your destination address in the “Recipient” field as well as the amount of $TRX you want to send crosschain. Click “Next”.
Confirm that the “Recipient” address does not belong to a centralised exchange then click “Confirm”.
Confirm that all the details are correct then click “Confirm”.
Connect your TronLink wallet address by clicking “Connect” in the TronLink pop-up window.
Confirm the transaction by clicking “Sign” in the TronLink pop-up window.
Step 4: Wait for your crosschain transaction to complete. It is now processing.
While your crosschain transaction is processing, the status will change three times:
- Processing (1/2)
- Processing (2/2)
- Success
Note: The speed of the crosschain transaction is entirely dependent on the networks involved. Transactions involving slower networks like Bitcoin or Ethereum may take several minutes or more to complete.
Step 5: Confirm the receipt of your funds. Your crosschain transaction is complete!
Once your crosschain transaction is complete, you’ll see your $wanTRX balance on Wanchain and the crosschain transaction status change to “Success”.
$TRX crosschain transaction from Wanchain to the Tron Network
Step 1: Make sure you have the appropriate wallets installed.
Before completing decentralised crosschain transactions using the WanBridge web portal, you need to ensure you have access to the correct wallet(s). You must have wallets for each network involved in the crosschain transaction. Metamask is a fantastic wallet that grants you access to any EVM-compatible blockchain networks.
Step 2: Visit the WanBridge web portal and connect your wallet.
Click “Connect to Wallet”.
Click “Metamask”. If this is your first time using the WanBridge web portal, you will first need to give permission to connect your wallet. Follow the MetaMask prompts by clicking “Next” then “Connect” as instructed.
Step 3: Initiate a crosschain transaction to move your $TRX from Wanchain to the Tron Network.
Select “TRX” from the drop-down menu. Then, choose “Wanchain” and “Tron” as your From and To networks, respectively. Finally, input your destination address in the “Recipient” field as well as the amount of $wanTRX you want to send crosschain. Click “Next”.
Confirm that the “Recipient” address does not belong to a centralised exchange then click “Confirm”.
Confirm that all the details are correct then click “Confirm”.
Confirm the spend permission request by clicking “Confirm” in the MetaMask pop-up window.
Confirm the transaction by clicking “Confirm” in the MetaMask pop-up window.
