If you're currently using another blockchain network and want to migrate to Ronin, several bridging options are available. This article will guide you through the different ways to transfer assets from Ethereum, Base, Polygon, BNB, and Arbitrum to Ronin.
Supported Networks on Ronin Wallet
Ronin Wallet currently supports the following networks:
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Base
- Polygon
- Binance Smart Chain (BNB)
- Arbitrum
If you want to manage which networks are active in your wallet, navigate to the Settings page on your Ronin Wallet and select Active Networks. You can enable multiple networks simultaneously for seamless transactions.
Bridging Options
Depending on your current network, different bridging solutions are available:
1. Ronin Bridge
The Ronin Bridge allows users to transfer ERC-20 tokens and NFTs between the Ethereum and Ronin networks. By connecting their wallets, users can easily select the assets they wish to bridge. Please note that transactions on the Ethereum network will incur gas fees.
For step-by-step instructions on how to deposit from Ethereum using the Ronin Bridge, refer to this guide.
2. Chainlink CCIP Bridge
The Chainlink CCIP Bridge enables secure and seamless transfers between Ethereum, Base, and Ronin. Users can select their preferred token to cover bridge fees, though the available tokens for bridging using this method are limited currently.
For detailed instructions, refer to the Ronin CCIP Bridge User Guide.
3. Third-Party Swap Platforms
Several third-party platforms provide efficient ways to exchange tokens from Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, and Binance Smart Chain to Ronin. These platforms offer a fast, non-custodial, and user-friendly experience without requiring account creation.

4. Third-Party Exchanges
Some cryptocurrency exchanges support direct withdrawals to the Ronin Network, allowing users to transfer assets to their Ronin Wallets without needing a separate bridge.
- To use this method, ensure the exchange supports deposits of the specific token on one network and allows withdrawals to Ronin.
- If the tokens aren’t available for withdrawal to Ronin, you can transfer and sell your tokens on the exchange and purchase supported ones before withdrawing to Ronin.
- Since exchange support varies, always verify if Ronin withdrawals are available for the token before proceeding to prevent loss of assets.
For a list of supported tokens and exchanges, refer to this reference sheet. However, always confirm availability directly on the exchange, as listings may change over time. For instructions on how to deposit to Ronin using 3rd party exchanges, refer to this guide.
Migrating to the Ronin Network is now easier than ever with multiple bridging solutions available. Whether you choose the Ronin Bridge, Chainlink CCIP, third-party swaps, or direct exchange withdrawals, selecting the right method depends on your priorities—cost, speed, or token availability.
Considering these factors will ensure a smooth migration and help you take full advantage of the Ronin Network's features, including staking, liquidity provision, and seamless transactions.
