Stacks Bridge: how to bridge to and from Stacks

Stacks has its own design that most general bridges do not support out of the box. A small set of integrations, issuer-run stablecoins and exchanges carry most of the traffic.

Quick answer

Services supporting Stacks: 2. Most used in our guides: SideShift, Allbridge Core. 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.

  • Allbridge Core

    Allbridge Core moves stablecoins (USDC, USDT and USDe) between many networks, including TRON and Solana. After an exploit on Solana in July 2026, it closed its own pools. It now sends each coin through the official transfer system of the company that issues it.

Route guides

From Stacks

No guide starts on Stacks yet.

Why Stacks has few routes

Only 2 of the projects we track support Stacks, so many pairs have no direct route and prices vary more.

Alternative ways to move funds

Through a centralised exchange

Deposit on Stacks, 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.

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.

How transfers work on Stacks

  • Check the route guides below first: they list the integrations that work today.
  • Stablecoins issued natively on Stacks can often be moved through issuer or exchange rails.
  • Centralised exchanges are a reliable fallback for the native coin.

What to watch out for

  • Memos, destination tags or activation deposits are common. Read the deposit instructions carefully.
  • Fewer routes means wider spreads. Compare at least two options before sending larger amounts.
