# Transfer Assets

<figure><img src="/files/gEMpwnEov0RNH8UspQ3b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

To use Permapod, you need tokens on ZigChain. There are two ways to get them: withdraw from a centralized exchange (CEX) or bridge from another chain.

***

#### Option A — From a Centralized Exchange

If you hold tokens on exchanges like [**Bybit**, **Gate**, **MEXC**, **Bitget**, or **Kraken**:](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/zigcoin/#Markets)

1. Log in to your exchange account.
2. Navigate to the **Withdraw** section.
3. Select the token you want to withdraw (e.g., ZIG).
4. Choose **ZigChain** as the destination network.
5. Paste your ZigChain wallet address (starts with `zig1...`).
6. Double-check the token, network, and address, then confirm.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Some exchanges may not yet support direct withdrawals to ZigChain. In that case, withdraw to an EVM-compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask) first, then use Option B below.
{% endhint %}

***

#### Option B — Bridge from EVM or Cosmos Chains

Zigchain has a built-in bridge supporting **60+ Cosmos chains** and select **EVM chains** (Ethereum, Arbitrum, etc.).

1. Visit the [**Official Zigchain Bridge**](https://hub.zigchain.com/)
2. Connect your source wallet (the wallet holding your tokens).
3. Select the **source chain** and **token**, then enter the amount.
4. Set he **destination** to ZigChain.
5. Review the route and then confirm.
