Sending ETH From Ethereum to Celo​

  • Install Metamask from https://metamask.io.
  • Make sure you have ETH in your account.
  • Go to the Optics Bridge app.
    • Connect Metamask
    • Make sure Metamask is connected to Ethereum Mainnet.
    • In the top From section, Select “ETH on Ethereum”. This indicates that you want to send the ETH asset that is currently on Ethereum.
    • Enter the amount, destination chain (Celo in this case), and destination address. The sending address is filled in by default.

  • Once your transaction is approved your transaction details may not appear in the transaction history immediately. This does not mean that your transaction wasn’t successful. If you don’t see your transaction details, check a block explorer of the source network to verify that your transaction to the bridge was successful.
  • Wait for your ETH to be bridged. WETH will show up at the specified account address when bridging is complete.
