Your involvement is key to the success of this project, and we’re excited to have you on board for this journey towards a more interconnected blockchain ecosystem.
What is the t3rn Bridge UI?
The t3rn Bridge UI is a platform specifically designed to enhance cross-chain interoperability, acting as a gateway for users to effortlessly transfer assets across various blockchain networks.
However, the Bridge UI is more than just a tool for simplifying transactions; it's a step towards building a more interconnected and interoperable blockchain ecosystem. t3rn is committed to developing modular and interoperable solutions that seamlessly integrate across different blockchains, offering users a cohesive and unified experience.
Supported Networks
The UI supports a range of Ethereum Layer 2 testnet chains, including Base Sepolia, Arbitrum Sepolia, Blast Sepolia, and Optimism Sepolia. These networks have been carefully selected.
- Base: Developed by Coinbase, designed to enhance the scalability, speed, and cost-effectiveness of decentralized applications (dApps). Their goal is bringing the world onchain to create a global economy that increases innovation, creativity, and freedom.
- Arbitrum: Is one of the bluechip Layer 2s. It utilizes optimistic rollup technology to process transactions off-chain before settling them on the Ethereum mainnet, significantly reducing gas fees and increasing transaction throughput
- Blast: Offers Native Yield Generation, allowing users to earn yield on ETH and stablecoins. Additionally, its Auto-Rebasing Mechanism simplifies yield generation by automatically adjusting user balances eliminating the need for manual claims.
- Optimism Sepolia: Emphasizes community involvement in its development and decision-making processes and offers extensive tools and documentation to support developers in building and deploying dApps.
Bridge Across Chains and Earn BRN tokens
With the t3rn Bridge UI, you can effortlessly bridge your testnet ETH tokens across the supported chains. The process is straightforward, and every swap you make earns you BRN tokens. The more you swap, the more BRN you accumulate, making this a perfect opportunity not just to test the network, but also to earn rewards for your participation.

Key Features of the t3rn Bridge UI
The Bridge UI is packed with features:
- Swap Tab: This is where the magic happens. Perform cross-chain swaps with ease, bridging your tokens between the supported testnets.
- Transactions Tab: Keep track of all your activities. The Transactions tab provides a comprehensive history of your cross-chain transactions, ensuring you always have a clear view of your activity.

- Explorer Tab: Looking for a specific transaction? The Explorer tab allows you to search for transaction order information quickly and efficiently.
- Rewards Tab: This is where you’ll see the fruits of your labor. The Rewards tab displays the BRN tokens you’ve earned through your swaps, allowing you to track your progress and motivation to keep swapping.
