Bridging to Nillion's Ethereum L2

Bridging allows you to transfer assets between Nillion's Ethereum L2 and other networks. This Mainnet guide covers the available bridges for moving assets to and from Nillion's L2. For Testnet, we recommend going directly to the faucet.

From Cosmos to Ethereum​

The NilChain was halted on March 23rd at 14:18 UTC (block #6,222,000), and a final snapshot of all remaining balances was taken. If you still had an unbridged balance at that point, your tokens have been pre-minted on Ethereum and can be claimed once using a Merkle proof:

  1. Visit the Cosmos-Ethereum claim page
  2. Connect your wallets - both on the Cosmos and EVM side
  3. Sign with your Cosmos wallet
  4. Claim your NIL on Ethereum - the whole balance will be claimed

Your NIL tokens will be available on Ethereum once the transaction is complete.
