Torus Wallet
A Torus wallet connected.
If you don’t have one, you can follow the setup guide here.
Bridge TORUS from Base to Torus
In this guide, we’ll bridge TORUS between Torus and Base.
This process is necessary in order to obtain Native TORUS, which is required to interact with Torus directly.
Why bridge TORUS tokens?
You need Native TORUS to participate in Torus - it’s required for registering agents, becoming a Root Agent, staking, governance voting, and all on-chain activities. Bridging converts your Base TORUS into the native format.
To keep things clear and concise, Native TORUS will be referred to as TORUS from this point forward.
What we will accomplish
- Bridge TORUS on Base to TORUS EVM
- Bridge from TORUS EVM to TORUS
