PandaBridge is a specialized tool designed for quick and secure cross-chain swaps of small-value crypto assets. It prioritizes ease of use, speed, stability, and security. Before you begin, ensure you have a compatible Web3 wallet, such as MetaMask or OKX Web3 Wallet, installed as a browser extension.
This guide provides a detailed walkthrough of using PandaBridge on a desktop computer. For instructions on mobile usage, please refer to the appropriate resources.
How to Use PandaBridge on Desktop
Connecting Your Wallet
Navigate to the official PandaBridge website. Scroll down the page and locate the 'Connect Wallet' button. Click it and choose your preferred wallet type from the list provided.
For instance, if you select MetaMask, your browser will trigger a connection pop-up from the extension. Approve the connection request. Upon successful linking, your wallet address will be displayed in the top right corner of the PandaBridge interface, confirming you are connected.
Selecting Networks and Tokens
The next step involves configuring your swap. You will see two main fields: 'From' (the initiating chain) and 'To' (the receiving chain).
In the 'From' section, select the blockchain network you are sending from and the specific token you wish to swap. Then, enter the amount. Simultaneously, in the 'To' section, choose the destination blockchain and the token you want to receive. The interface will automatically display the estimated amount you will get based on current rates.
You can enter any destination wallet address in the recipient field. For a straightforward swap to your own connected wallet, you can simply use the address that is already populated.
Executing the Swap and Confirming the Transaction
After double-checking all the details—amounts, networks, and addresses—click the Swap button. Your connected wallet (e.g., MetaMask) will prompt you to confirm and sign the transaction. Once you approve it and the transaction is processed, the swap is initiated. Typically, cross-chain transfers are completed within about a minute. You can monitor the status of your transaction in the 'History' section on the website.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the exchange rate determined?
The rate is not fixed. It is sourced in real-time from Chainlink's decentralized oracle network, reflecting the current market price to ensure a fair valuation for your swap.
What should I do if my tokens haven't arrived?
First, check the transaction status in the 'History' tab. If it shows as completed but you haven't received the tokens, there may be a delay in the network's block confirmation. Allow some time, and if the issue persists, you will need to seek assistance from support channels for further investigation.
Why is my order status still 'Processing'?
Most orders are confirmed within a minute. A persistent 'Processing' status could indicate a UI caching issue. Try refreshing your browser page or checking the destination wallet's activity directly on a blockchain explorer, as the assets may have already arrived.
Is KYC or an account login required to use PandaBridge?
No, absolutely not. PandaBridge is non-custodial and permissionless. You only need to connect your Web3 wallet to start using the service; no personal registration or identity verification is needed.
Can I send the swapped tokens to a different wallet address?
Yes, you can specify any valid wallet address as the recipient. This feature enhances user privacy and flexibility, allowing you to manage your assets across different wallets easily.
Are there any transaction limits?
Yes, PandaBridge is optimized for smaller-value transactions. The swap amount is typically limited to a specific range to maintain efficiency and security for all users.
Does PandaBridge require token approvals?
No, it does not. The platform uses a direct transfer method for swaps, meaning you only sign the transaction for the exact swap amount. It does not request unlimited permissions to access your wallet funds, which is a significant security benefit.
How far back does the transaction history go?
The History tab is configured to display the most recent transactions for user convenience. Older records are periodically archived and may not be visible in the standard interface.
