# Bridging Overview

> Choose the right bridge to move assets into MANTRA Chain

MANTRA Chain is reachable from most major networks. The right bridge depends on what you're transferring, how much, and where you're coming from.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Supported routes, tokens, and chains can change at any time — always confirm details in the bridge UI before sending funds.

## Choosing a bridge

| Bridge | Best for | Mechanism | Link |
| - | - | - | - |
| **[Squid](https://mantrachain.mintlify.site/resources/bridging/squid.md)** | Smaller, everyday transfers with fast UX | Liquidity routing | [app.squidrouter.com](https://app.squidrouter.com/?chains=1,5888\&tokens=0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48,0xd2b95283011e47257917770d28bb3ee44c849f6f) |
| **[mantraUSD](https://mantrachain.mintlify.site/resources/bridging/mantrausd.md)** | USDC → mantraUSD from Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, or Polygon | Deposit & mint | [get.mantrausd.com](https://get.mantrausd.com/) |
| **[Hyperlane](https://mantrachain.mintlify.site/resources/bridging/hyperlane.md)** | Larger transfers and market makers | Lock & mint | [nexus.hyperlane.xyz](https://nexus.hyperlane.xyz/?destination=mantra\&token=USDC) |
| **[Lucid](https://mantrachain.mintlify.site/resources/bridging/lucid.md)** | General-purpose bridging | Liquidity bridge | [app.lucidlabs.fi](https://app.lucidlabs.fi/bridge) |
| **[IBC](https://mantrachain.mintlify.site/resources/bridging/ibc.md)** | Bridging from Cosmos chains | IBC transfer | [ibc.fun](https://ibc.fun/) |

### Quick guidance

* **Converting USDC to mantraUSD?** Use the [mantraUSD bridge](https://get.mantrausd.com/).
* **Moving a large amount from an EVM chain?** Use [Hyperlane](https://nexus.hyperlane.xyz/?destination=mantra\&token=USDC) for its lock & mint model.
* **Making a quick, smaller transfer?** [Squid](https://app.squidrouter.com/?chains=1,5888\&tokens=0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48,0xd2b95283011e47257917770d28bb3ee44c849f6f) or [Lucid](https://app.lucidlabs.fi/bridge) offer the fastest experience.
* **Coming from a Cosmos chain?** [IBC](https://ibc.fun/) is the native option.
