Step by step guide to bridge tokens from other networks to Solana.
Wormhole Token Bridge follow these simplified steps:
- 1: Select the source of the tokens

In this example we will show step by step the bridging from both sides, ETH -> SOL and SOL -> ETH.
You will need both a Metamask Wallet with enough ETH and a Solana Wallet with enough SOL to pay for the transaction fees
Make sure Metamask is connected to the intended network.
