Aptos Bridge: how to bridge to and from Aptos

Aptos uses its own virtual machine and account format, so EVM-only bridges do not work here. Coverage comes from bridges that built a dedicated integration, messaging protocols, and stablecoin issuers.

Quick answer

Services supporting Aptos: 7. Most used in our guides: Wormhole, Circle CCTP, LayerZero, SideShift. Direct transfers possible to: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, TRON, Hyperliquid.

Popular services

  • Wormhole

    Wormhole is a messaging protocol that lets very different blockchains talk, including Ethereum-style networks, Solana, Sui and Aptos. You usually meet it through its Portal token bridge or through tokens that use its Native Token Transfers.

  • Circle CCTP

    CCTP is run by Circle, the company that issues USDC. It moves real USDC between networks: Circle destroys the coins on one side and creates the same amount on the other. You end up with genuine USDC, not a wrapped copy.

  • LayerZero

    LayerZero is a messaging protocol that lets apps send messages and tokens between many networks. You do not use it directly. You meet it through apps and tokens built on it, such as Stargate and USDT0. Since 2025 Stargate has belonged to the LayerZero Foundation.

  • SideShift

    SideShift is an instant exchange that swaps about 200 coins across dozens of networks, with no account. It is handy for moving between chains like Bitcoin, XRP, Cardano or Polkadot and stablecoins on EVM networks. It does not support Monero, Kaspa or Zcash.

Alternative ways to move funds

Move stablecoins instead

Converting to USDC or USDT and moving it through the issuer’s own transfer protocol often has the widest coverage and the least slippage. Swap back on the destination if you need another asset.

Native swap protocols

Protocols such as THORChain, Chainflip or NEAR Intents swap native coins across chains from their own vaults. You receive the real coin, not a wrapped token, and you keep custody until you send.

Through a centralised exchange

Deposit on Aptos, trade if needed, and withdraw on the destination network. Simple and often cheap, but the exchange holds your funds in between and needs identity verification.

Two steps through a well-connected chain

If no single route exists, first move to a chain with many connections (Ethereum, Solana or a major rollup), then on to the destination. It costs two fees, but each step uses a well-tested route.

How transfers work on Aptos

  • Messaging protocols and dedicated bridges connect Aptos to Ethereum and other major chains.
  • Native USDC or USDT moves through issuer protocols where available, which avoids wrapped stablecoins.
  • Native swap protocols and intent networks can deliver native coins from Bitcoin and other chains.

What to watch out for

  • You need a wallet that supports Aptos; addresses look different from Ethereum addresses.
  • Some tokens on Aptos are wrapped versions from older bridges. Check which version you receive.
