BOB Gateway

Bridge from Bitcoin to BOB​

The BOB Gateway allows you to move your BTC from Bitcoin mainnet to BOB. All you need is a Bitcoin wallet with some BTC to send and an EVM-compatible wallet to receive your wrapped Bitcoin on BOB. We'll even send you some ETH to cover the fees of your first few transactions on BOB.
