Get MANTA on Bifrost
A. Bridging from Manta Pacific network (Eth L2) to Manta Atlantic (substrate parachain)
Before minting and using vMANTA you first need to hold MANTA in the Bifrost network. Commonly used steps to obtain MANTA on the Bifrost network:
Prepare MANTA on your EVM wallet address: - Purchase MANTA on CEX or DEX - Buy MANTA with credit card with fiat on-ramp solutions (i.e Banxa)
Use the oficial Manta bridge: https://app.manta.network/manta/bridge
You need an EVM wallet (Metamask, Talisman, Rabby...) and a substrate wallet (Subwallet, Talisman, Enkrypt...)
Connect your wallets
Once connected, choose to send from Pacific to Atlantic, input or select your Manta Atlantic address (substrate), input the amount of MANTA you want to bridge and click on "Approve MANTA"
Once confirmed, click on "Transfer" to start the bridge operation and follow the 3 steps
Once you fulfilled the 3 steps, congrats, your MANTA are on Manta Atlantic network !
