Scroll Bridge: how to bridge to and from Scroll

Scroll is a zero-knowledge rollup on Ethereum. Its official bridge relies on validity proofs, so withdrawals finish once a proof is accepted on Ethereum, usually within hours rather than a week. Fast bridges still deliver sooner.

Quick answer

Services supporting Scroll: 3. Most used in our guides: Orbiter Finance, Celer cBridge, Synapse. Direct transfers possible to: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base.

Popular services

  • Orbiter Finance

    Orbiter moves ETH and stablecoins between Ethereum and its layer 2 networks. Instead of locking and minting, a liquidity provider called a Maker pays you from its own wallet on the destination network.

  • Celer cBridge

    Celer cBridge is one of the older multi-chain bridges, connecting Ethereum, its layer 2 networks, BNB Chain, Avalanche and non-EVM chains such as Aptos and Sui. It moves stablecoins and ETH using liquidity pools on each chain. Transfers are confirmed by Celer's own validator network.

  • Synapse

    Synapse is a bridge that works mostly between Ethereum-style networks, with a separate Synapse bridge for Solana. It moves coins using pools of money on each network and can also pass messages between apps. The bridge still runs, but the Synapse team now spends much of its effort on other products.

Route guides

Why Scroll has few routes

Only 3 of the projects we track support Scroll, so many pairs have no direct route and prices vary more.

Alternative ways to move funds

The official rollup bridge

The bridge run by Scroll 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 Scroll, 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 Scroll

  • The official bridge is the most trust-minimised route to and from Ethereum.
  • Liquidity bridges and intent networks cover most rollup-to-rollup routes in minutes.
  • Stablecoins can move through issuer transfer protocols where Scroll is supported.

What to watch out for

  • Proof and finalisation times vary between rollups and can grow during busy periods.
  • Smaller rollups are supported by fewer bridges, so compare quotes before you send.

Frequently asked questions

How can I bridge from Scroll?

3 of the projects we review support Scroll, including Synapse, Orbiter Finance, Celer cBridge. We have 2 route guides that involve Scroll.

Which major chains can I reach from Scroll directly?

Directly: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base. Other destinations need two steps or an exchange.

What if there is no bridge for my Scroll route?

Use a centralised exchange, take two steps through a well-connected chain such as Ethereum or Solana, or move a stablecoin instead and swap on arrival.
