To participate in launches on the Bio Protocol, your BIO tokens must be on the Base network. If you hold BIO on another network, such as Ethereum Mainnet, you will need to use a cross-chain bridge to transfer them, or acquire BIO on Base.
This guide provides a step-by-step overview of how to use the official Bio Bridge. While this guide focuses on bridging BIO, the Bio Bridge can be used to transfer a wide variety of tokens from across the Bio ecosystem. The process is the same for any supported asset.
Go to the Official Bridge: Navigate to the official Bio Bridge at bridge.bio.xyz. This is the recommended and most secure way to transfer your tokens.
Select Chains and Connect Wallet:
Set the Source Chain to where your BIO currently is (e.g., Ethereum).
If using the Launchpad, set the Target Chain to Base.
Connect the wallet that holds your BIO.
Select Token and Amount:
Select BIO as the token you want to bridge.
Enter the amount you wish to transfer.
Connect your source wallet.
Proceed to the next step.
Approve and Confirm Transfer:
The bridge will likely ask you to review your transaction.
After approval, you will need to confirm the final transfer transaction.
Follow the on-screen instructions carefully. The bridging process can take several minutes.
Receive Tokens on Base:
Once the transaction is confirmed on both chains, the equivalent amount of $BIO will be available in your wallet on the Base network. You may need to switch your wallet's network to Base to see the tokens.
Important: Always save the transaction hash (tx) provided by the bridge. If something goes wrong, this hash is critical for recovery and support.
