Bridge $YU and $YALA Across Multiple Chains
In this guide, we'll walk you through two ways to bridge $YU and $YALA seamlessly.
Looking to tap into high-speed yield opportunities with partners like RateX and Kamino via the Yala DeFi Marketplace? Or aiming to join a campaign with a 10x Berry multiplier on Base? Or maybe you just want to explore on chains with lower gas fees？
First you’ll need to move your $YU and $YALA from Ethereum to other chains such as BNB Chain and Base.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through two ways to bridge:
- Using the Yala Bridge Tool, directly in-app
- Using Stargate for cross-chain transfers
Before You Start
Make sure you have:
- $YU/$YALA on the source chain
- A wallet for the source chain (e.g., MetaMask)
- A destination chain wallet (e.g., Phantom, OKX Wallet)
- The native token of the source chain for gas + a small LayerZero bridge fee (if using the Yala Bridge Tool)
Supported routes:
- $YALA: Ethereum ↔ Base ↔ BNB Chain
- $YU: Ethereum ↔ Solana ↔ Base
Option 1: Bridge with the Yala Bridge Tool
The Yala Bridge Tool, powered by LayerZero, provides a seamless and secure way to transfer your $YU and $YALA across chains.
How to Bridge:
- Connect your wallets for both chains.
- From the Yala Mainnet interface, navigate to the "Portfolio" and click “Bridge.”
- Enter the amount of the asset you want to transfer (i.e., $YU and $YALA) and select your target chain (e.g., Solana or Base).
- Approve the transaction in your wallet.
Track the status of your transfer anytime in the ‘Bridge History’ section at the bottom of the tool.
Note: Double check the amount. Once you confirm, the transaction is irreversible.
Option 2: Bridge with Stargate
Stargate is a composable cross-chain liquidity transport protocol that enables seamless asset transfers across blockchains. You can search for $YU or $YALA directly on Stargate and start bridging.
How to Bridge:
- Go to https://stargate.finance/ and connect your wallets on both chains.
- Click “Transfer” and select $YU/$YALA (Ethereum) in the From section, and then choose $YU/$YALA on your target chain (Solana, Base, or BNB Chain) in the To section
- Enter the amount you want to bridge and click “Transfer.”
Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
What’s Next?
Now that your $YU and $YALA are on the target chains, it is time to put them to work where the yield or Berry rewards are.

Once bridged, you can move freely across Ethereum, Solana, Base, and BNB Chain. You may choose the Yala DeFi Marketplace to start earning and stacking Berries, join a trading competition on Base, or simply complete a holding quest.
The choice is yours.

Yala is a native Bitcoin liquidity protocol that channels BTC into yield opportunities across DeFi and RWAs.
Bitcoin holders unlock capital through self-custodial, liquidation-free borrowing by minting $YU, a BTC-backed liquidity asset. In this process, they pay a stability fee directly to $YU depositors, effectively exchanging BTC-backed exposure for portable, capital-efficient liquidity and access to yield without giving up ownership.
Yala’s SmartVault module manages system risk and ensures efficient yield distribution.
