The following steps take you through bridging USDC and Goerli ETH using the Hop bridge.

Set up​

Before you begin, ensure your wallet is:

  1. Configured to use Linea
  2. Funded with test tokens

Bridge from Goerli to Linea​

  3. Select your desired token (USDC or ETH).
  4. Specify an amount less than your balance to send.
  5. If you are sending USDC, you'll need to select approve before selecting send.
  6. Select Send. First time users need to approve the Linea bridge to allow token transfers.
