How to Bridge from BSC to FTM
Step 1: Use an EVM-Compatible Wallet to Connect to FTM
The Gold Standard crypto EVM-Compatible Wallet is MetaMask; if you're already using it to navigate through BSC, things will be easy for you.
If you're using TrustWallet, we recommend you also set-up a MetaMask wallet. MetaMask provides the most seamless multichain experience. TrustWallet's seed phrase can be imported into MetaMask, so you can run both wallets simultaneously. Check-out the "How to Switch from Trust Wallet to MetaMask" tutorial below.
Step 2: Add Fantom Opera to Your MetaMask
There are two ways to do this, manually or automatically with Feeder Finance.
Manually
- 1.Click the 'Network' icon at the top of your MetaMask network selection
Select 'Custom RPC'
- 1.Click on 'Custom RPC'
- 2.Fill in the Fields as follow
- Network Name: Fantom Opera
- ChainID: 250
- Symbol: FTM
Automatically with Feeder Finance
- 1.
- 2.You'll be prompted to 'Switch to Fantom' and once clicked, MetaMask will ask you whether you want to allow Feeder Finance to add the FTM network to your Metamask
- 3.Click 'Approve' and you're set

Step 3: Prepare FTM Gas
Just like on BSC, you'll need to have some gas to be able to execute transactions of the FTM network, whereas on BSC it's the $BNB; on Fantom, it's $FTM.
You'll need to have FTM in your Metamask wallet on the FTM network. Again, there are two ways to do this, by withdrawing from a centralized exchange (e.g Binance) or by claiming free FTM from the Feeder Finance platform.
1. Withdraw FTM from Binance
- 1.Use your Binance or any other CEX account to buy FTM in the spot market (Tip: make sure the exchange supports withdrawals to the Fantom blockchain)
- 2.Withdraw FTM straight to your wallet on FTM, or if you're using the Binance continue with 3.
- 3.Withdraw your FTM first to your wallet on the Ethereum network (ERC20)

2. Claim FTM if You're a Feeder Finance Product User
Note: If you're an investor in the Feeder Finance products and have more than $1,000 deposited, you'll be able to claim 0.5 FTM.
Step 4: Use the AnySwap Bridge
Now that your FTM gas is ready, time to bridge your tokens over from BSC to FTM.
- 1.Make sure you are connected to the BSC network with your MetaMask wallet
- 2.
- 3.Select 'BSC mainnet' at the 'From' section's right drop-down
