Deposit addresses easily allow you to bridge without connecting a wallet. A unique address tied to the quote is generated for you to deposit your funds into, once funds are deposited Relay will instantly deposit the correct tokens on the destination chain in your wallet. This is a great way to get up and running on a new chain.

​How It Works

Below is a series of steps to take to compete a deposit address bridge:

1. Open relay.link and enter in the information for a quote.
2. Click "Bridge". If this is a deposit address only route (these routes are for when the relay.link doesn't support connecting to this network), you'll see a modal that states "Waiting for you to deposit your funds".

3. Open your wallet and send funds to the deposit address. Ensuring that the address matches and that the amount also matches. The quote pricing is guaranteed for 30s and afterwards is subject to price volatility (like gas fluctuations).

4. Once the funds are deposited the modal will progress to the next step where funds are being deposited into your destination wallet, which was specified when you requested the quote.

5. After a short period of time funds should be deposited into your wallet.
