The Netbox.Bridge is a blockchain tool that allows users to move NBX funds from one chain to another. For example, you can move (swap) your NBX coins on Netbox.Chain to NBXB tokens on Binance Smart Chain (BSC), that are pegged at a 1:1 ratio and vice versa. Read more about Netbox.Bridge on our website.

To use the Bridge you must have any available wallet installed with Binance Smart Chain and NBXB tokens support (read the separate Manual on how to add NBXB token to your MetaMask and Trust Wallet).

  • Payment password — enter your Netbox.Wallet payment password to complete the transaction;
