# Bridge Guide

There are many ways to bridge $INIT token to Initia, and then to our rollup, but we've selected the most cost-effective and user-friendly option for bridging funds from EVM chains. This method minimizes fees while providing a smooth experience, ensuring you can participate in our ecosystem with minimal friction. Our step-by-step video guide will walk you through the entire process, making it accessible even for those new to cross-chain transfers.<br>

**Step 1: Connect your wallet & get gas (skip if you already have $INIT on Initia mainnet)**

Go to [**app.initia.xyz**](https://app.initia.xyz/) and connect your EVM wallet. If you're new Initia and you don't have gas token, copy your init wallet address and visit [**gas.zip**](https://www.gas.zip/). Select any chain where you have funds and transfer a small amount to cover transaction fees on bridging to Initia.

**Step 2: Bridge $USDC**

Go to [**bridge.initia.xyz** ](https://bridge.initia.xyz/)and connect your wallet. Select your source chain with $USDC, set Initia as the destination, and complete the bridge.
