How to transfer tokens between blockchains
The state "Paid" indicates that the last token transaction on the destination blockchain has been completed.
The bridged amount is now available in the destination wallet.
InterChain cross chain bridge - what is it?
Frequently Asked Questions
What is InterChain?
InterChain is a next-generation blockchain bridge that places security first while maintaining full functionality. With InterChain, you can easily port tokens across Ethereum and BNB Smart Chain networks within minutes.
It is the first bridge that offers a fully security-focused solution, that safeguards 95% of funds in cold storage vaults. In addition to that, there is an easy-to-use UI, and porting can be done at astounding speed.
What Makes InterChain Unique?

Why Should I Port Tokens Across Blockchains?
There are a few reasons why a project may wish to port its token across blockchains. The two primary reasons are fees and exposure to additional DEXs. For example, other chains may require lower fees than the native chain, which makes the process of trading or transferring tokens less expensive. The other reason is that it may boost a token’s user base and become more attractive to traders who use specific DEXs.
Are There any Fees Involved?
The basic porting fee on InterChain is 0.2% - 0.3% of the value of each port and can be paid in a few different methods:
- Pay with the Ported Token
E.g., If a user wishes to port 10,000 METIS tokens, a fee of 30 METIS will be deducted from the port.
- Pay with the Chain’s Native TokenUsers can pay porting fees of 0.3% in their blockchain’s native token. E.g., if the METIS token is a native ERC-20 token, the user can pay the fee in ETH.
How long does it take to complete a cross chain transfer?
InterChain's native token is in progress now. It will be a vital to InterChain's ecosystem and long-term viability. Future InterChain's token will represents a unit of value and a medium of exchange that can be used in many ways.
Future token will be used to discount porting fees and stimulate eco-system growth through staking, locks, liquidity
incentives, buybacks, partner and user rewards, and referral and affiliation rewards.
Does InterChain Have a Native Token?
InterChain is developed by DescentLabb, a company specializing in developing blockchain-based products and solutions, including MEV Bots protections and DEX price optimization.
Who Built InterChain?
No. Currently, you can easily port your tokens from Ethereum back to BNB Smart Chain and vice versa. To port your tokens back to Ethereum, simply connect your wallet to InterChain’s app. Once connected, select the source chain and token, set the target chain to Ethereum, and complete the porting process.
