Using Orange Bridge

Getting Started

Orange Bridge is a financial web application supported by popular Internet browsers for mobile and desktop devices and can be found at https://bridge.orangecrypto.com Orange Bridge utilizes Bitcoin and Ethereum Mainnet networks. This means that all transactions are mined on each blockchain network. To begin bridging tokens, please view the instructions below.

For a list of supported tokens and networks, view theOrange Bridge page.

Please note that Orange Bridge is in beta and is a free service. While contracts have been deployed on Mainnet, have undergone quality assurance testing and a security audit, there is always a risk of errors that may result in a loss of funds. We encourage all tests to be conducted with a small amount of funds. Due to the associated risks, Orange Labs accepts limited liability for all transactions .

Requirements

Orange Bridge requires connecting Orange Wallet and Ethereum wallet
Orange Bridge requires Bitcoin and Ethereum for gas to execute the bridge requests.
