# Bridging Guide

The initial mainnet launch of Bookies will take place on the Base blockchain. Therefore, users need bridge funds from another network to the Base network in order to participate. The initial currencies that you'll need to place bets on Bookies are USDC or DEGEN.

We recommend using [Hop Protocol](https://app.hop.exchange/#/send?token=ETH) or [Synapse](https://synapseprotocol.com/) to move funds from Ethereum or another Layer 2 to Base. Select the asset you would like to bridge and the chain that you would like to pull that asset from. Select Base as the destination and click send.&#x20;

Please note that these on-chain transactions require a Web3 native wallet like [MetaMask](https://metamask.io/) or [Rainbow](https://rainbow.me/).
