LeverUp runs on Monad. Before you can trade, your assets need to be on the right chain. Here's how to get them there in a few minutes.

How to Bridge Assets to Monad

LeverUp runs on Monad. Before you can trade, your assets need to be on the right chain. Here's how to get them there — whichever chain you're coming from.

What This Guide Covers

  • Why your assets need to be on Monad
  • The recommended asset to bridge (USDC)
  • Three paths depending on where your funds are now
  • How to confirm your balance is ready

Before You Start

  • A wallet compatible with Monad (Rabby or MetaMask)
  • Assets on another chain — Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, or a CEX
  • A small amount of the source chain's gas token for the bridge transaction

Why You Need to Bridge

LeverUp is deployed on Monad. Your assets on Ethereum, Solana, or other chains aren't directly accessible here — they need to be moved over first.

The good news: once your assets land on Monad, there's no separate deposit into LeverUp. Your wallet balance is your trading balance.

What to Bridge

USDC is the recommended starting asset. It's natively issued on Monad via Circle's CCTP standard — no wrapped token risk, and it's accepted directly as collateral on LeverUp.

You can also use MON (Monad's native token) as collateral once you're on-chain, but USDC is the simplest starting point.

MonadBridge is powered by Wormhole and supports direct bridging from Solana to Monad.

  1. Go to monadbridge.com and connect your Solana wallet
  2. Select USDC on Solana as the source asset
  3. Enter your Monad wallet address as the destination
  4. Enter the amount and confirm the transaction in your Solana wallet
  5. Wait for the bridge to complete

Typical time: 5–10 minutes

From a Centralized Exchange (Binance, OKX, etc.)

If you hold USDC on a CEX that supports Monad withdrawals, this is the simplest path — no bridge interface needed.

  1. Log into your exchange and navigate to Withdraw → USDC
  2. Select Monad as the destination network
  3. Paste your Monad wallet address
  4. Enter the amount and confirm the withdrawal

Typical time: 5–30 minutes depending on the exchange
Note: Check if your exchange supports Monad withdrawals before starting.

Confirming Your Balance on LeverUp

Once the bridge completes:

  1. Open app.leverup.xyz and connect your wallet
  2. Click the wallet dropdown in the top-right corner
  3. Check that your USDC balance has updated

If the balance hasn't appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the page. Bridge transactions sometimes take a moment to reflect after on-chain confirmation.

Important Things to Know

You also need MON for gas. Monad transactions require a small amount of MON to pay for gas fees. If you don't have any MON yet, you can get some from a DEX on Monad, or check if your bridge path deposits a small amount automatically.

USDC on Monad is native, not wrapped. Circle issues USDC directly on Monad via CCTP, so you don't need to worry about bridged vs. native token differences.

Each bridge transaction generates a unique address (on some platforms). Don't reuse addresses across multiple transactions.

Common Mistakes

Selecting the wrong destination network. Always double-check that Monad is selected as the destination before confirming. Assets sent to the wrong chain cannot be recovered through LeverUp.

Bridging USDT instead of USDC. LeverUp uses USDC as the primary stablecoin. Check the token ticker carefully before confirming.

Forgetting to account for gas on both sides. The bridge itself has a fee, but you also need gas on the source chain to initiate the transaction. Make sure your source wallet has enough gas token (ETH, SOL, etc.).

Risk Reminder

Always verify the destination chain and token type before sending. Bridge transactions are irreversible. If assets are sent to the wrong chain, contact the bridge's support team — LeverUp cannot recover misdirected funds.
