🌉 Bridging to AO The Computer

The AO (Arweave) ecosystem provides multiple ways to bridge your assets, such as USDC or AR, from external blockchains into AO-native tokens.
Currently, there are three main bridging options, each serving a unique purpose:

🔗 Option 1: VentoSwap Bridge​

  • Best for bridging USDC → vUSDC.
  • Uses the VentoSwap interface.
  • Simple and direct method for quickly moving stablecoins into AO.

  • Developed by everVision Labs.
  • Allows bridging multiple assets (USDC, USDT, AR) from Ethereum and other chains into AO-native wrapped tokens (wUSDC, wAR, etc.).

🎯 Which One Should You Use?​

  • Use VentoSwap if you want vUSDC for DeFi apps quickly.
  • Use AOX if you need flexibility with different assets (not just USDC).
  • Use Astro Bridge if you want USDA, the AO-native stablecoin designed for long-term stability and broad adoption.

Whichever you choose, bridging enables you to access the full power of AO The Computer 🚀
