Monad is a high-performance EVM Layer 1 designed for parallel execution, fast finality, and fully compatible Ethereum tooling. You can bridge your wrapped staked ETH (wstETH) to Monad using Transporter or Jumper.
Bridging wstETH to Monad
You can move wstETH to Monad in a few minutes using either supported bridge interface.
Before you begin:
Ensure you hold wstETH (wrapped stETH). To wrap ETH or stETH into wstETH, visit stake.lido.fi/wrap
Make sure you have ETH on Ethereum to pay for gas.
For claiming or interacting on Monad, ensure you have MON for gas fees.
Option 1: Bridging via Transporter
Visit www.transporter.io
Connect Your Wallet: Connect your Ethereum wallet and ensure the bridge is set from Ethereum → Monad.
Select Token: Choose wstETH from the token list and enter the amount you wish to transfer.
Approve and Confirm: Approve the ERC20 allowance, then confirm the bridging transaction.
Wait for Finalization: Bridging typically finalizes within minutes. You can track status directly in the Transporter UI.
Once finalized, your wstETH will appear on Monad. If your wallet does not automatically display it, you can manually add the wstETH contract address on Monad.
Option 2: Bridging via Jumper
Visit Jumper: Navigate to jumper.exchange.
Connect Your Wallet: Ensure the source is Ethereum and the destination is Monad.
Select Token: Choose wstETH and specify your transfer amount.
Approve & Bridge: Approve the spend allowance and confirm the bridge transaction.
Track & Complete: Jumper aggregates routes and will notify you once the transfer is complete. Your bridged wstETH will appear on Monad after settlement.
Withdrawing wstETH from Monad to Ethereum
Both Transporter and Jumper also support withdrawals back to Ethereum.
Visit Transporter or Jumper and connect your wallet.
Select Monad → Ethereum as the route.
Select wstETH and enter the amount.
Approve and confirm the withdrawal.
Wait for settlement.
Withdrawal times vary by bridge design but typically complete within minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is wstETH?
wstETH (wrapped stETH) is the non-rebasing version of Lido’s stETH. Rewards accumulate through an increasing exchange rate rather than changing token balances.
How do I get wstETH?
Visit stake.lido.fi/wrap to wrap ETH or stETH into wstETH.
Are there any bridging fees?
You will pay gas fees on both networks and, depending on the bridge, a small liquidity or routing fee. Lido does not charge additional fees for bridging.
My wallet doesn’t show my wstETH on Monad. What should I do?
Import the wstETH contract address on Monad manually. The bridge interface will provide the correct address once mainnet deployment is finalized.
How long does bridging take?
Bridging speeds depends on the chosen bridge and the current network activity levels, but generally finalises within minutes.
