# Bridging to Monad

Before trading on Perpl, you must have AUSD on Monad. Because of its EVM compatibility, bridging to Monad is easy.

Step 1: Connect your wallet

1. Go to the official Monad Bridge[ https://monadbridge.com/](https://monadbridge.com/)
2. Connect either an EVM or a Solana wallet

Step 2: Select Source and Destination Chains

* From: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism (Choose the chain you have assets on and would like to bridge)
* To: Monad

⭐ Make sure the asset you are trying to bridge is supported by both chains.

Step 3: Choose Asset and Amount

* Choose ETH, USDC, AUSD, etc.

Reminder: All transactions on Perpl will take place using AUSD. If you do not bridge AUSD, you will have to swap your bridged asset for AUSD on a Monad exchange.&#x20;

* Enter the amount you wish to send.

Step 4: Approve and initiate Transfer

* Click Approve to allow the bridge to access your tokens
* Click Bridge
* Confirm tx in wallet

Your transaction should take 1-5 minutes to finalize. If you do not see your assets bridged, check out[ Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/) or[ Monad Explorer](https://testnet.monadexplorer.com/) to view tx status.

\
Now that you have funds in your wallet, you are ready to trade.  Head to app.perpl.xyz.
