Optimistic rollup

Ink Bridge: how to bridge to and from Ink

Ink is an optimistic rollup on top of Ethereum. Its official bridge is the most trust-minimised option, but withdrawals back to Ethereum wait for a challenge period of about seven days. Third-party bridges skip the wait by paying you out of their own liquidity.

Quick answer

Services supporting Ink: 3. Most used in our guides: Superbridge, Rhino.fi, USDT0. Direct transfers possible to: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, TRON, Hyperliquid.

  • Rhino.fi

    Rhino.fi is a bridge focused on stablecoins that links EVM networks with chains such as TRON, Solana, TON and Stellar. It is a common choice for moving USDT between TRON and Ethereum-style networks. Rhino.fi pays you on the other side from its own liquidity.

  • USDT0

    USDT0 is the way Tether’s USDT moves between networks. It is built on LayerZero’s OFT standard and backed 1:1 by USDT locked on Ethereum. A separate service, the Legacy Mesh, connects older USDT on TRON and TON.

Alternative ways to move funds

The official rollup bridge

The bridge run by Ink itself relies only on Ethereum and the rollup. It is the safest option, but withdrawals to Ethereum are slower than with third-party bridges.

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.

Through a centralised exchange

Deposit on Ink, 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 Ink

  • Deposits from Ethereum through the official bridge arrive in minutes.
  • Withdrawals through the official bridge take about a week; fast bridges such as Across or Relay take seconds to minutes for a fee.
  • Most bridges and aggregators connect Ink to other rollups directly, without going through Ethereum.

What to watch out for

  • If you use the official bridge to withdraw, you must come back after the challenge period to finalise.
  • Check that the bridge sends the native token, not a bridged copy with a different contract.
