Bridging

Gitcoin's Grants Stack now allows you to easily bridge funds and swap tokens across different chains, enabling you to contribute to projects even when you don't have sufficient balance.

How to Use the Swap Widget

1. Add Projects to the Cart

• Browse through the projects and add them to your cart.

2. Checkout Process

• Proceed to checkout when you're ready to contribute.

• The system will display your current wallet balance (e.g., 2.385 USDC).

• Enter the amount you wish to contribute (e.g., 5 USDC).

3. Insufficient Balance

• If your entered amount exceeds your wallet balance, the system will indicate that you don't have enough funds.

4. Bridging Funds

• Click the "Bridge Funds" button to open the Swap Widget.

5. Using the Swap Widget

• Select the token you want on the recipient side.

• Choose whether you want to: a) Swap tokens between the same chains, or b) Swap different tokens on different chains.

6. Confirming the Swap

• Review the details of your swap.

• Confirm the transaction in your MetaMask wallet.

• Wait approximately 20 seconds for the swap to be confirmed.

7. Completing Your Contribution

• Once the swap is complete, you can proceed with your contribution using the newly acquired funds.

Tips and Notes

• Always double-check the token and chain selections before confirming a swap.

• Ensure you have enough gas fees in your wallet for the transaction.
