<a href="https://blog.sui.io/sui-bridge-launches-on-mainnet/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">This article originally appeared on the Sui blog.</a>The wait is over! <a href="https://bridge.sui.io/?ref&#61;blog.sui.io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sui Bridge</a> is now live on Mainnet.Sui Bridge is a native solution for moving assets to and from external ecosystems, such as Ethereum. As Web3 expands and matures, it is important to break down the barriers between prominent ecosystems, allowing assets and data to move freely.In Web3, interoperability is key to unlocking synergy between different assets, apps, and networks. Sui offers powerful interoperability solutions within its own ecosystem, thanks to its unique object-oriented architecture and programmable transaction blocks.The launch of Sui Bridge is an important moment in Sui’s interoperability journey, enabling <a href="https://blog.sui.io/sui-bridge-architecture/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">trust-minimized</a> asset transfers between Ethereum and Sui. Existing solutions like <a href="https://wormhole.com/?ref&#61;blog.sui.io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Wormhole</a> have played an important role in the development of Sui’s DeFi ecosystem and will continue to be valuable, while Sui Bridge offers a native avenue for users to bridge assets between Sui and Ethereum. Secured by Sui’s own network validators, Sui Bridge transactions are protected by the same infrastructure that powers and secures Sui itself.<h2 id="header-0">Sui Bridge assets</h2>With multiple bridges available, users may encounter different versions of the same bridged asset. For example, ETH transferred to Sui via Sui Bridge (<a href="https://suivision.xyz/coin/0xd0e89b2af5e4910726fbcd8b8dd37bb79b29e5f83f7491bca830e94f7f226d29::eth::ETH?ref&#61;blog.sui.io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ETH</a>) is different from ETH transferred via Wormhole (<a href="https://suivision.xyz/coin/0xaf8cd5edc19c4512f4259f0bee101a40d41ebed738ade5874359610ef8eeced5::coin::COIN?ref&#61;blog.sui.io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">WETH</a>). To ensure a smooth experience, apps on Sui will update to accurately reflect the different assets over the coming weeks, helping users easily identify and manage these assets.Sui Bridge currently supports ETH and WETH transfers between Sui and Ethereum. This focused launch approach ensures a stable and secure user experience for bridge users. Future updates will expand support for additional assets and functionality.The most direct way to access these assets is to use the <a href="https://bridge.sui.io/?ref&#61;blog.sui.io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sui Bridge interface</a> to transfer ETH or WETH from Ethereum to Sui. Teams will begin to migrate liquidity from the WETH-USDC pools to the ETH-USDC pools starting next week.<h2 id="header-1">How to use Sui Bridge</h2>Sui Bridge currently supports ETH transfers between Sui and Ethereum. The web interface makes transferring tokens quick and easy.<ol><li>Go to the <a href="https://bridge.sui.io/?ref&#61;blog.sui.io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sui Bridge web interface</a>.</li></ol><img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcbeuK6enBtMsudUP36NCJd4AI8Zv3Dv_dgbU-Ghh688xeptVl_fkenNlQ6e4yA7lhefYLQ-JvzmSyKvJWqT0dpRztJhhyhx6EOmaLgdTv-yQ-i5Jr9QMrR0JU53NPzpF73G67htcBaj60VZBAAXFUL3Avb?key&#61;Vpy0q5G2wiYiVOBUWytiBw" /><ol><li>Connect both an Ethereum and Sui wallet.

In some edge cases, recipients may need to claim manually on the user interface. Note that when bridging from Sui to Ethereum, users will need to manually claim using thier Ethereum account.<img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXek04tVQ4FCNx6mTpVXj2Wxd_Sc9X9keVJFGcf4I2tM_n7gbeiLIudUkCJA6TSNu122CfCYn4jG24UkXGSfGjMGPgR9HKOYNUnoZGHJNIdJyZTWX6w5gOa3vKvG1fOMKx3UZEgnWkP_bFm5nDieA6ds2lXT?key&#61;Vpy0q5G2wiYiVOBUWytiBw" /><h2 id="header-2">Looking ahead</h2>The launch of Sui Bridge on Mainnet is an early step in realizing the broader vision for interoperability on Sui. Looking forward, Sui Bridge will expand asset support and eventually add unique functionality to accommodate a wide range of use cases.Stay tuned for more updates and prepare for the next wave of developments that will build upon Sui Bridge.Additionally, we again want to thank all those that participated in the testing program helping us make the best possible user experience on Sui Bridge.
