3️⃣Step 3b: Bridge

Bridge your assets

1. Bridge your assets TO Secret Network (this will help you get started and use the features on the Shade App)

2. Bridge your assets FROM Secret Network (this is to move your assets from the Shade App to another chain)

Overview

The Bridge is the first option you see on the navigation on the left. It’s likely the first tool you would use as you move funds onto Secret Network. You can use this feature to send your assets from Osmosis, Noble, dYdX, or other onto the Secret Network chain.

The Shade Bridge feature is an interface that allows you to seamlessly bridge assets between different blockchains using the power of IBC.

The following are a list of key features of the Shade Bridge:

• Generalized IBC token transfers (Osmo —> ATOM etc.)

• Transfer assets into Shade DeFi ecosystem

• Convert your public IBC assets into privacy-preserving equivalents

• Bridge private tokens like SHD & SILK to the broader Cosmos

The list of supported chains on the Shade Bridge is always growing as more IBC channels & relayers are setup in the Cosmos Ecosystem.
