BridgeRadarMonad Bridge: how to bridge to and from Monad
Monad runs Ethereum-compatible smart contracts, so almost every bridge and aggregator supports it. Routes to other EVM chains are cheap and fast; routes to chains without smart contracts depend on native swap protocols or custodians.
Quick answer
Services supporting Monad: 2. Most used in our guides: SideShift, USDT0. Direct transfers possible to: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, TRON, Hyperliquid.
Popular services
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.
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.

Why Monad has few routes
Only 2 of the projects we track support Monad, so many pairs have no direct route and prices vary more.
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.
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.
Through a centralised exchange
Deposit on Monad, 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.
Wrapped tokens
A custodian or federation holds the original coin and issues a token on another chain. Convenient for DeFi, but the token is only as safe as whoever backs it.
How transfers work on Monad
- Liquidity bridges and intent networks deliver funds in seconds to minutes by fronting the money on the destination chain.
- Stablecoin issuers (Circle CCTP for USDC, USDT0 for USDT) burn on Monad and mint on the destination, so you receive the official token.
- Aggregators compare many bridges at once and are a good starting point when you are unsure.
What to watch out for
- The same token can exist in several wrapped versions. Check the contract address you receive.
- You need a little of the native gas token on the destination chain to use the funds.
