How bridging to ICON works
- 01Pick the asset and the destination
Choose what you are sending and select ICON as the destination network. The amount that will arrive, the route and the time estimate appear before you connect anything.
- 02Compare routes
Every provider that covers the pair returns a live quote. They are ranked by the final amount after fees; the best one is selected and the others stay visible.
- 03Approve and sign
Tokens need a one-time approval for the exact amount; native gas tokens skip it. Then one signature creates the transaction on the source network.
- 04Receive on ICON
Funds arrive at your address on ICON once the source transaction is final; ICON typically settles in ~30 s. You will need a little ICX to move them onward.
Wallets and execution
Routes to and from ICON are quoted live. In-app execution for ICON wallets is not available yet; the app tells you before you connect.

Questions
How long does a bridge to ICON take?
Usually a few minutes. ICON confirms in about ~30 s; the total depends on the source network's finality plus relay time. The app shows an estimate per route.
Do I need ICX to receive on ICON?
Not to receive. Gas is paid on the source network. You will need ICX on ICON before you can send the funds anywhere else.
Which providers route ICON?
The routes table lists them for each pair. Coverage differs by provider; where only one provider covers a pair, you see one route rather than a filler row.
What happens if a route fails?
Intent-based routes settle or fail as a unit. On failure the funds stay in your wallet on the source network. Routes that use a bridge plus a swap show their status step by step, with explorer links.
Why are there no curated routes for ICON?
Curated pages exist for the routes people search for most. Any token on ICON can still be quoted and, where execution is supported, swapped from the app.
