Bridging to Mode
The Mode bridging process is simple and transferring your wstETH to Mode can be done in a matter of minutes.
Before bridging, make sure that you are using Lido's wrapped staked ETH (wstETH). To wrap your ETH or stETH into wstETH, head to stake.lido.fi/wrap.
- Visit superbridge.app/mode and connect your wallet.
- Select wstETH from the dropdown and choose the amount to deposit.
- Approve the Mode Bridge to interact with your wstETH tokens if asked. This will require a small gas fee to confirm the approval.
- Review the bridging info and sign the Deposit transaction. You can check the transaction status in the Activity page.
The bridging process will take a few minutes, and you can keep track of the transaction on the Superbridge Activity page.
