# Alternative Bridges (Complex)

Gnosis Chain is a decentralized blockchain-driven by the community and built by Gnosis. It operates using xDAI to facilitate transactions. To participate in the Mu ecosystem, you will need both xDAI and sDAI, which can be used for minting msDAI tokens or as collateral for trades.

If you don't have any assets on Gnosis Chain, you can transfer funds using the following solutions:

## 1. Bridging From Ethereum Mainnet (Official Bridges)

There are two bridges officially supported by Gnosis Chain:

1. xDAI Bridge - <https://bridge.gnosischain.com/>
   * How to use: <https://docs.gnosischain.com/bridges/tutorials/using-xdai-bridge/>
   * Supported Chains: Ethereum only
   * *Notes: Can only swap from DAI on Ethereum Mainnet to xDAI on Gnosis Chain*
2. Omnichain Bridge - <https://omni.gnosischain.com/bridge>
   * How to use: <https://docs.gnosischain.com/bridges/tutorials/using-omnibridge/>
   * Supported Chains: Ethereum Only
   * *Notes: Limited to swap same assets cross-chain (i.e., ETH on Ethereum for wETH on Gnosis Chain), does not support native xDAI from DAI.*

## 2. Bridging From Other Chains

These are known cross-chain bridges and aggregators supporting bridging from other EVM chains to Gnosis Chain:

1. Jumper Exchange (By Li.Fi) - <https://jumper.exchange/exchange>
   * Supported Chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BNB Chain, zkSync Era, Polygon zkEVM, Base, Avalanche, Linea, Fantom, Moonriver, Moonbeam, FUSE, OKXChain, Boba, Velas, Aurora
   * *Notes: You can swap from any asset to xDAI or sDAI on Gnosis Chain!*
2. Swapr - <https://swapr.eth.limo/#/swap?chainId=100>
   * Supported Chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum One, Polygon, Optimism, BNB Chain, zkSync Era
   * *Notes: You can swap from any asset to xDAI or sDAI on Gnosis Chain!*
3. Bungee Exchange - <https://www.bungee.exchange/>
   * Supported Chains: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base, zkSync Era, Polygon zkEVM, Avalanche, Fantom, Aurora
   * *Notes: You can swap from any asset to xDAI or sDAI on Gnosis Chain!*
4. Hop Exchange - <https://hop.exchange/>
   * Supported Chains: Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum One, Arbitrum Nova, Base
   * *Notes: Limited to swap same assets cross-chain (i.e., ETH on Ethereum for wETH on Gnosis Chain)*&#x20;
5. Connect Network - <https://www.connext.network/>
   * Supported Chains: Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum
   * *Notes: Limited to swap same assets cross-chain (i.e., ETH on Ethereum for wETH on Gnosis Chain)*&#x20;
