User Experience

User experience is a high priority during the use of the bridge and we have kept the process and UI simple to ensure seamless token swapping between chains.

Through Metamask Connect Wallet, connect to a specific network and your tokens will be displayed and you can swap them between the chains. The gas cost has to be borne by the user.

IMP NOTE: FOR BRIDGE TRANSACTION TO WORK, THERE SHOULD BE ETH AND BNB IN THE WALLET, TO TAKE CARE OF THE TRANSACTION FEES FOR BOTH CHAINS

Step by Step Guide

A) From BSC to Ethereum

Step 1. Open the Finminity Bridge. Connect your wallet (as of now, only Metamask browser is supported)

Once your Wallet is connected, you can see your $FMT balance on BSC Mainnet (Follow Steps to connect Metamask in BSC)

Step 2. Steps to Transfer FMT BEP20 (Binance Smart Chain) to FMT ERC 20 (Ethereum)

Enter the amount of FMT BSC20 you wish to transfer or choose “Max”. For our example, we take 10 FMT from BSC. So the above box shows what would be the resultant after the actual transfer.

Click on “Transfer ”.
Confirm the transaction on Metamask.

3. It will give you a message that transaction is pending. Remember that here you are connected to BSC and you need to check the BSCScan transaction for status or wait for Metamask message

Step 3. Once the transaction is confirmed, switch to Ethereum network to see your FMT ERC20 tokens

In case you can’t see the FMT ERC20 tokens, please use the ECR-20 token contract (0x99c6e435eC259A7E8d65E1955C9423DB624bA54C) and add a custom token and add them into your wallet.

Step 4. Now if you open the bridge, you can see that 10 FMT BSC Tokens has moved to Ethereum side and now there are 10 tokens in each side.

B) From Ethereum to BSC

In this example, we will take the above wallet where there is 10 FMT ERC20 tokens in the wallet and try to send 5 of these ERC20 tokens to BSC side. (Caution: As Ethereum network gas fees are high, please check gas fees at https://ethgasstation.info and send the transaction when it’s less)

Step 1. Open the Finminity Bridge. Connect your wallet (as of now only Metamask browser is supported) and aslo see if you are in Ethereum Mainnet.

Check the current FMT ERC-20 tokens you hold (shows in the top red wallet box and also the Ethereum box in the left). In this example we are holding 10 and would like to transfer 5 to BSC

Step 2. Steps to Transfer FMT ERC 20 (Ethereum) to FMT BEP20 (Binance Smart Chain)

Enter the amount of FMT BSC20 you wish to transfer or choose “Max”. We enter 5 here. As soon as you enter 5, the box numbers change for the resultant scenario

2. Click on Transfer.

3. Confirm the transaction on Metamask.

4. It will give you a message that transaction is pending. Remember here you are connected to Ethereum and you need to check the EtherScan transaction for status or wait for Metamask message of conformation. There could be a delay based on ETH network status. So please have patience and do this when network congestion is low

5. If the transaction was successful, you will see that 5 tokens has moved back to BSC side to make the count 15.

Appendix

Steps to connect Metamask to BSC Chain -

Step 1: Click on Meta Mask then select settings

Step 2: Scroll down to network and select network.

Step 3: Select Add Network

Step 4: Enter the following Details —

Network Name — Binance Smart Chain
New RPC URL — https://bsc-dataseed.binance.org/
Chain ID — 56
Currency symbol — BNB
Block Explorer URL — https://bscscan.com

Now you have added BSC network to your Metamask wallet. You can use this connection when you want to work with Binance Smart Chain.

Disclaimer: The Bridge works on the Ethereum and BSC Network and any congestion/delay coming from the network is not something we can support.
