Non-EVM smart contracts

Sui Bridge: how to bridge to and from Sui

Sui 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 Sui: 11. Most used in our guides: NEAR Intents, LI.FI, Wormhole, Circle CCTP. Direct transfers possible to: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Base, TRON, Hyperliquid.

Popular services

  • NEAR Intents

    NEAR Intents lets you swap real coins across networks, including Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Zcash. You say what you want to end up with, and solvers compete to give you the best price. You receive the real coin on the destination network, not a wrapped token.

  • LI.FI

    LI.FI is an aggregator. It compares many bridges and exchanges and picks the best route for your transfer. Many wallets and apps build it in. Jumper, a website for regular users that started inside LI.FI, runs on it.

  • 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.

Route guides

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 Sui, 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 Sui

  • Messaging protocols and dedicated bridges connect Sui 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 Sui; addresses look different from Ethereum addresses.
  • Some tokens on Sui are wrapped versions from older bridges. Check which version you receive.
