How to Bridge from Metis to Fantom Network

What Platform is Best to Bridge from METIS to Fantom

The best way to bridge your tokens from the Metis network to the Fantom network is by using a DEX like Synapse Protocol that facilitates bridging on their platform. Simply connect your Web3 Wallet to Synapse, they currently support Metamask, Wallet Connect, Coinbase Wallet & Binance Smart Chain Wallet to begin bridging. 

We recommend using Synapse as they have the largest bridging volume out of any exchange in the world. In addition to bridging volume, they offer the lowest bridging fees and have the fastest transaction speed out of any Dapp that offers bridging.
