Integrated deeply within the Galxe ecosystem, Gravity serves as the backbone for a wide array of decentralized applications, making it a pivotal force in the evolution of Web3
Throughout this guide, we will assume that you are using the Metamask wallet since it is the one most people use, the process of setting up a wallet should be very similar regardless of the wallet you choose
The first step is to open Metamask and select the network icon dropdown menu
When the pop-up appears, click Add Network
The Add a network page will open. Add the following details:
RPC URL
Chain ID
1625
Currency symbol
G
Block explorer URL
Once you're finished, click Save
You are now connected to the Gravity chain
Tokens can be bridged to Gravity using the official Gravity bridge or multi-chain Stargate bridge
You will need a fraction of ETH to pay for bridging fees from any supported chain to Gravity
Gas on the Gravity chain is paid in G, which can currently only be obtained on the Ethereum chain. Therefore, we recommend bridging it as the first token so you can process transactions
To bridge USDC, USDT, or wETH, use the Stargate bridge. For G, use the bridge below
Visit the Gravity Bridge and connect your wallet. You will see the screen below:
2. Input the amount of G you want to transfer to Gravity and click Deposit
Approve, then initiate the deposit, which will require confirmation in your wallet interface
4. The transaction will show as pending on the activity page
The bridging transfer should take approximately 10 minutes, but it may take longer during periods of high traffic
