Tip

You need enough balance to cover transfer amount and fees. Check Minimum Transaction Amounts before starting.

Getting Started

1. Open Atlas Bridge App

• Go to https://atlas.rootstock.io (or testnet if applicable).
• You do not need to connect a wallet to start.

2. Select the desired pair

• Choose source and destination assets. One side must always be a Rootstock token (e.g. rBTC, trBTC). The other is the asset on the other chain (e.g. BTC, ETH, USDT).
• See Mainnet and Testnet available swaps in the User Guide for supported pairs.

3. Enter the amount

• Type the amount you want to bridge.
• If no providers appear, your amount may be below the minimum, confirm Minimum Transaction Amounts and adjust.

4. Choose a provider

• The bridge lists all available providers for your pair and amount.
• Compare rates, fees, and conditions.
• Select a provider, then click Review transaction.

5. Review provider details and add destination address

• Review fees, minimums, and estimated time for the selected provider.

• Click Add Destination Wallet and paste the destination address where you want to receive funds.
• Confirm the destination chain matches the address type.

6. Complete the transaction After selecting a provider and accepting terms, finish in one of two ways:

• With a wallet: Connect a compatible wallet (for example MetaMask for Rootstock) and authorize the transaction.
• Without a wallet: Complete with QR code and follow provider instructions.

7. Review and confirm

• Check fees, destination address, and final received amount.
• Wait for confirmations. See Expected Time & Confirmations.
• Track progress in the bridge UI.

8. Done

• You should receive the asset on the destination network.
• Keep the transaction hash until funds arrive.
