How to use XY Bridge
First, connect your web3 wallet.
For this tutorial, we are going to use MetaMask.
Once connected, you can choose which blockchain networks you’ll be bridging to and from. In this example, we’ll be bridging ETH from Scroll to zkSync. We are strategically choosing these two chains in hopes that using them may earn us a potential future airdrop from either or both blockchain ecosystems.
Using layer 2 networks such as Scroll or zkSync allows you to process micro-transactions with very low gas fees which would not be possible on many layer 1 networks e.g. Ethereum.
Once you pay the gas fee, your transaction will be processed.
Once the transaction is completed, it will reflect on the dashboard.
You can also verify the transaction status using ScrollScan block explorer.
