How to Bridge to Hyperliquid

For USDC, use the native bridge instead. If you are moving USDC specifically, the Hyperliquid native bridge from Arbitrum is cheaper and faster — see our How to Fund Rabby Wallet guide. Use deBridge (below) for everything else: ETH, HYPE, other tokens, and cross-chain paths the native bridge does not cover.

This guide shows a beginner-friendly way to bridge funds from any chain to Hyperliquid / HyperEVM using deBridge.

Bridge Safety

Bridges are a common attack surface. Use only the official deBridge site, double-check destination chain + address, and always test with a small amount first.

What you’ll need

  • A wallet (we recommend Rabby for EVM, plus whatever wallet you use on the source chain).
  • Gas on the source chain.
  • The token you want to bridge (stablecoins are easiest for beginners).

Step 1: Open deBridge

  1. Go to debridge.com.
  2. Connect your wallet.

Step 2: Choose your route

Set these fields carefully:

  • From: your current chain (e.g., Arbitrum, Base, Solana, etc.).
  • To: HyperEVM (recommended) or Hyperliquid if shown.
  • Token: choose what you’re bridging (stablecoins are simplest).
  • Amount: start with a small test amount.
Beginner defaultBridge into HyperEVM first. Once funds are on HyperEVM, you can move them into Hyperliquid using Hyperliquid’s own deposit/transfer UI if needed.

Step 3: Confirm the destination address

Paste your destination address carefully. For beginners, use the same wallet address you control on HyperEVM.

Double-check

A single wrong character can send funds to the wrong address permanently. Copy/paste and verify the first + last 4 characters.

Step 4: Review fees and confirm

  1. Review the estimated output amount and fees.
  2. Approve the token (if required).
  3. Confirm the bridge transaction.

Step 5: Verify arrival

  • Check your wallet on the destination chain.
  • If you bridged to HyperEVM, make sure the HyperEVM RPC is added so balances show up.

Troubleshooting

  • Balance not showing: add the destination chain RPC and/or import the token.
  • Bridge pending: wait for finality; bridges can take time depending on route.
  • Wrong token version: confirm you bridged the exact token (native vs bridged variants can differ).

Bridge from a specific source

The four routes below have unique mechanics or fee structures worth their own guide. Every other chain (Solana, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Base, Optimism, Polygon, and so on) follows the same general flow described later on this page: bridge to Arbitrum via deBridge, then deposit USDC into the Hyperliquid native bridge.

  • From Arbitrum — the only direct route. Native Hyperliquid bridge, $0 bridge fee, <1 minute.
  • From Ethereum mainnet — mainnet gas considerations make this distinct. ~$2-15 depending on congestion.
  • From Coinbase — CEX withdrawal direct to Arbitrum, no cross-chain bridge needed. Usually the cheapest path for new users.
  • From Crypto.com — similar to Coinbase but different fee structure. Worth the dedicated guide if your funds are already there.
