Using Dcentralab's Chainport

Dcentralab created Chainport, a secure blockchain bridge that offers full interoperability with several blockchains, including Chiliz Chain.

The Chainport bridge converts ERC-20 CHZ tokens from Ethereum to wCHZ tokens (wrapped CHZ) on Chiliz Chain -- not native CHZ tokens.

This means that once you have bridged an ERC-20 CHZ tokens into a wCHZ token, you need to unwrap that wCHZ token into a CHZ token (in case you need a native CHZ token).

This is done using Chiliz Bridge, by selecting the WCHZ token and clicking "Unwrap".

ChainPort will also support the bridging of popular stablecoins such as USDT to the Chiliz Chain in the future.

Prerequisites

In order to bridge your CHZ tokens between Ethereum Mainnet and Chiliz Chain Mainnet, you need to have:

  • A wallet. You can use MetaMask of course, or any other browser-based wallet, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet, as well as Fortmatic, Portis, and Trezro.

  • CHZ tokens on Ethereum Mainnet, or wCHZ tokens on Chiliz Chain Mainnet.

  • Enough ETH to pay the gas fee if you are bridging from Ethereum to Chiliz Chain, ...or... enough CHZ to pay the gas fee if you are bridging back from Chiliz Chain to Ethereum.

Bridge CHZ from Ethereum to Chiliz Chain

  1. Connect your wallet to Ethereum.

  2. Make sure the destination network is Chiliz Chain.

  3. Select CHZ as the type of tokens.

  4. Enter the amount of CHZ you want to bridge. NOTE: You should have enough ETH on Ethereum to cover the bridge fee.

  5. Click on "Approve CHZ".

  6. Validate the bridging from your wallet.

  7. You now have wCHZ tokens on Chiliz Chain!

In case you need to unwrap the obtained wCHZ tokens, you can use the Chiliz Wrapper.

Bridge CHZ from Chiliz Chain to Ethereum

You need to wrap your native CHZ token on Chiliz Chain before you can bridge them to Ethereum. Use the Chiliz Wrapper for this.

You only need to wrap the amount of CHZ that you want to bridge to Ethereum, not all your CHZ tokens

  1. Connect your wallet to Chiliz Chain.

  2. Make sure the destination network is Ethereum.

  3. Select wCHZ as the type of tokens.

  4. Enter the amount of wCHZ you want to bridge. NOTE: You should have enough CHZ on Chiliz Chain to cover the bridging fee.

  5. Click on "Approve wCHZ".

  6. Validate the bridging from your wallet.

  7. You now have CHZ tokens on Ethereum!
