Tunnel ERC20s via 3rd Party

📜 TL;DR:

Certain tokens are not yet supported by Hemi’s native Tunnel.
For these assets, you can use one of several third-party tunnel solutions to move tokens between Ethereum and Hemi.

🔄 Why Use a Third-Party Bridge?

Hemi’s native Tunnel supports a range of popular ERC-20 tokens. However, some assets (e.g., USDC, USDT) are not yet integrated. In these cases, a third-party bridge provides:

• Fast bridging times.

• Established track record of security and reliability.

• Wide token support, including stablecoins like USDC and USDT.

🤝 Supported Third-Party Bridges

Below is a list of third-party bridges you can use to transfer assets to Hemi. Each bridge has its own UI, fees, and specific token support.
