Bridging AVAX to SUI is Easy via Portal by Wormhole

The ability to efficiently bridge crypto assets from one blockchain to another is essential for DeFi users looking to maximize opportunities.  In the past, it was difficult or downright impossible in many cases.  Thankfully, Portal has emerged as a top blockchain bridging solution.

In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to you how to use Portal to bridge $AVAX tokens from Avalanche network to Sui Network in the form of $SUI tokens.

What is Portal Bridge by Wormhole?

Portal is a cross-chain bridge designed for fast and secure token and NFT transfers across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Base, Sui, Sei and many others. It enables seamless interoperability by locking tokens on the source chain and minting equivalent wrapped tokens on the destination chain, with low transaction fees. The process is validated by a network of 19 trusted Guardian nodes, which ensure security and reliability.  Built on Wormhole’s proven infrastructure, Portal has processed billions of dollars in cross-chain transactions, making it a trusted choice for moving crypto assets between networks like Avalanche and Sui.

What You’ll Need to Bridge AVAX to SUI

For context and clarity, our goal in this tutorial is to show you specifically how to turn $AVAX tokens held in a MetaMask wallet into $SUI tokens in a Slush wallet.  Therefore, we’ll assume you have a MetaMask wallet holding $AVAX as well as a Sui native wallet such as Slush.  In the Portal bridging process, the MetaMask wallet with the AVAX will be the “source wallet” and the Slush wallet will be the “destination wallet”.

Step-by-Step Guide to Turning $AVAX into $SUI via Portal Bridge

Start by going to the Portal Bridge and follow the steps below.

Step 1: Select “From” and “To” Chains and Set Amount

In the “From” top section select the blockchain and token you want to bridge over to Sui.  In this example, we’re going to choose Avalanche as our Network and AVAX as our token.  Next, in the “To” bottom section select Sui as our Network and SUI as our token.  Finally, enter the amount of AVAX you want to bridge to SUI.

Step 2: Connect Source and Destination Wallets

Now that you have Avalanche network and AVAX selected in the top “from” section and Sui network and SUI selected in the “to” bottom section, the next step is to connect your “Source Wallet”.  Simply click the “Connect Source Wallet” button and your MetaMask wallet (which holds the $AVAX) will open for approval.  Go ahead and approve the connect.  Next, connect your Destination Wallet which will be your Slush Wallet.

Step 3: Review and Execute the AVAX to SUI Bridge Transaction

In our video example above, we chose 20 AVAX as the amount to bridge to SUI.  Portal Bridge will take a small fee (typically about $2) which you’ll see in “Routes”.  Review and click the “Confirm Transaction” button when ready.  Now you can relax and monitor the transaction which typically takes about one minute to complete.

Step 4: Verify Transaction Completion

Once the bridging process is complete, open your Slush wallet and verify that you received SUI in exchange for AVAX.  To verify, simply check your $SUI balance and go to Transaction History.  You can also open Mayan Explorer to verify the success of your transaction.
