The $ZIG community is growing, and with it comes the excitement of participating in ZIGStake on the Ethereum network. However, before you can start staking $ZIG, you need to bridge them from other networks like BSC to Ethereum. In this blog, we’ll guide you through the various options available to bridge your $ZIG tokens and highlight the most cost-effective methods to make this process seamless.

Traditional Bridging

While there are traditional bridges available that allow you to transfer your $ZIG tokens from BSC to Ethereum, the fees can be high. In some cases, the cost to bridge $20 worth of $ZIG can exceed $25, which doesn’t make sense from an economic standpoint.

How to Bridge Your $ZIG Tokens from BSC to Ethereum Using Houdini Swap

Bridging your $ZIG tokens from Binance Smart Chain (BSC) to Ethereum can be a smooth and cost-effective process using Houdini Swap. This method is ideal for users who want to avoid the high fees associated with traditional bridges. Here’s how you can easily bridge your $ZIG tokens from BSC to Ethereum, step by step:

Start by Selecting the Bridge:

Open Houdini Swap and select $ZIG on BSC as the source and Ethereum Mainnet (ERC20) as the destination. Enter the number of $ZIG tokens you want to bridge and click “Find Best Route.”

Choosing the Best Route:

Houdini Swap will search for the best available route. Once the options are displayed, select “Open in Wallet” to proceed with the optimal route for your transaction.

Approve the Transaction:

Your wallet will prompt you to approve the transaction. Ensure that the amount and details are correct before confirming the approval.

Monitor the Transaction Status:

After approval, Houdini Swap will handle the transaction, displaying the status at each step, from order creation to completion.

Check Your Ethereum Wallet:

Once the process is complete, you can check your Ethereum (ERC20) wallet to confirm that your $ZIG tokens have been successfully bridged from BSC to Ethereum.

Using Houdini Swap simplifies the bridging process, making it a cost-effective way to transfer your $ZIG tokens from BSC to Ethereum. By following these steps, you can ensure a seamless transition and prepare your tokens for staking on Ethereum.

via MEXC Exchange

One more budget-friendly approach involves using the MEXC exchange as an intermediary to move your tokens from BSC to Ethereum. Here’s how you can do it:

Transfer $ZIG from BSC to MEXC:

  • Access your wallet that holds $ZIG on the BSC network.
  • Transfer the desired amount of $ZIG tokens to your MEXC exchange account. Make sure to deposit on the BSC network to MEXC. BSC’s low transaction fees make this step cost-effective.

Withdraw $ZIG from MEXC to Your Ethereum Wallet:

  • Once $ZIG arrives in your MEXC account, initiate a withdrawal.
  • During the withdrawal process, select Ethereum (ERC20) as the destination network and provide your Ethereum wallet address.
  • The gas fee for this transaction will be around 95 ZIG, making it a much cheaper alternative to direct bridging.

Final Thoughts

Two of the most cost-effective and user-friendly ways to bridge your $ZIG from BSC to ERC20 are explained in this blog. By following these steps, you can save on transaction fees and maximize the value of your $ZIG tokens as you prepare to stake them on Ethereum.
