4. Bridge (Optional)

Intermezzo: help, I think I have to bridge!

No worries, this can be quite cheap if you know how to do this the most cost-efficient way. To minimize the extra costs for bridging one could choose to first deposit ETH on a network that is already known to have low fees. These are almost always Layer 2 protocols.

Just to name a few that are compatible with the (third-party) bridge discussed below: Optimism, Arbitrum (One), Arbitrum Nova and Polygon. There are more options to choose from, as long as you try to avoid Ethereum (mainnet) as this will probably be the most expensive route to take.

Choosing your bridge

If your funds are in your personal wallet but not yet on zkSync Era, then they have to be bridged over. For this we suggest using a third-party bridge. They are generally cheaper, quicker and have more networks to choose from.

Discovery 5 "A bridge represents opportunity for connection and allows us to venture into new spaces to grow and learn."
