Bringing your assets from other exchanges
There are many cross-chain solutions in place to bring your assets over to the Fantom Metaverse — which one you should use depends on what assets you seek to bring over. The most popular cross-chain solutions are Anyswap, Multichain, and xPollinate. It is most recommended you bridge stables as exit liquidity is usually always available! Thanks to SpookySwap for the Fantom conscious bridge interface, so make sure you visit https://spookyswap.finance/bridge! xPollinate will be added eventually, but for now bridge Matic assets directly through their site!
