6 Ways to Bridge to Linea (with Minimum Gas Fees)

Highlights

How to Bridge to Linea (TL;DR)

1. Choose a bridge and connect your crypto wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc).
2. Select the network you want to transfer from (Ethereum, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, etc).
3. Select the token you want to bridge to Linea and enter the amount.
4. Review and approve the transaction in your wallet.

What Are The Fees?

To bridge funds, network fees are required and they vary from blockchain to blockchain. If you’re bridging from Ethereum Mainnet, it can cost between $10 and $100, depending on how busy the network is. On the other hand, some blockchains like Tron or Base will only cost a couple of bucks or less.

Once you have funds on Linea, you need ETH to pay for gas fees. According to LineaScan and CoinTool, the average gas price hovers around 1 Gwei which is currently $0.09872623.

Best Linea Bridges

Here are some of the best bridging protocols available currently. Each one lets you send funds in and out of Linea using various chains:

1. Rango Exchange

Rango is one of the best cross-chain bridges for Linea because it supports 70+ blockchains, helping you transfer funds anywhere. It's also a bridge aggregator, meaning Rango compares 100+ DEXs and bridges so you can select the fastest and cheapest route.

So far, Rango has bridged over $4 billion in volume across hundreds of thousands of wallets and I've used it many times without any issues.

How To Use It

1. Go to Rango Exchange and connect your wallet
2. In the "From" section select the chain and token you want to transfer
3. In the "To" section select "Linea" and "ETH"
4. Look at the quotes Rango gives you. Click refresh a few times to check again.
5. Click the route you like and press "Swap"
6. Confirm in your wallet

Sometimes Rango will give you routes that involve multiple blockchains. Make sure you have funds on each chain to pay for gas fees, otherwise your transaction will fail. Otherwise, pick a different route.

2. RhinoFi

RhinoFi is a speedy, easy to use bridge that supports 15+ blockchains. It supports less chains than Rango, but is easier and faster to use. Transactions take under 60 seconds to complete, which also makes RhinoFi a great option.

It's a popular bridge as well, with over 1 million users, $2.3B in volume, and 48M total transactions. RhinoFi supports both large and emerging chains like Arbitrum Nova, Ethereum, Starknet, zkSync, and many others.

How To Use It

1. Go to RhinoFi and connect your wallet
2. In the "To" section select "Linea" and "ETH"
3. In the "From" section select the chain and token you want to send from
4. Submit the transaction and confirm in your wallet

Funds should arrive to Linea in under 60 seconds. 

3. Native Linea Bridge

If you want to use the native bridge from the Linea team, this is the way to go. However, it will have the highest fees because it only supports Ethereum Mainnet.

Gas fees can range between $10 and $100, depending how busy the Ethereum network is. For that reason, I recommend using the third-party bridges listed above if you want to avoid ETH Mainnet and save fees.

How To Use It

1. Go to the official Linea Bridge
2. Click the "Native Bridge" option
3. Connect your wallet and switch the network to Ethereum
4. Choose the token and amount you want to bridge
5. Choose Automatic or Manual claiming (auto is easier)
6. Click "Start Bridging" and confirm it in your wallet
