How to Bridge Assets from Ethereum to Injective Using Leap Wallet
Step 1: Set Up Your Wallets
Before bridging, ensure you have:
A funded Ethereum wallet (like MetaMask)
Leap Wallet installed and set up with an Injective address
If you haven't already, download the Leap Wallet Chrome extension or mobile app for Android or iOS.
Step 2: Access the Injective Bridge
Visit the Injective Bridge
Click on "Connect" and select "MetaMask" from the list
Approve the connection in your MetaMask wallet
Step 3: Configure Your Bridge Transfer
Select Ethereum (or another EVM chain) as your "From" network
For the "To" field, paste your Leap Wallet Injective address Note: Don't use the auto-generated address that appears after connecting MetaMask. This address is based on your MetaMask seed phrase and not your Leap Wallet.
Select the asset you wish to bridge
Enter the amount you want to transfer
Step 4: Set Allowance and Complete Transfer
Click the "Set Allowance" button
Enter a custom spending cap slightly higher than your transfer amount to cover fees
Click "Confirm" and approve the transaction in your Ethereum wallet
Wait for the transaction to complete
Congratulations! You've successfully bridged assets from Ethereum to your Injective wallet on Leap.
