### Why Bridge MSS?

The ability to bridge MSS between both chains very cheaply is an integral part to the MintStakeShare strategy of stability and big liquidity.

* Ideally, users will swap or mint to get MSS wherever it is cheapest. The bridge can then be used to stake on the other chain if the user prefers.
* Sells will get most value by selling where price is highest.  Regardless which chain your tokens originate from, you can use the bridge to move them if the other chain is more favorable for selling.

With new money flowing to the chain with the lower price, and money leaving MSS on the chain with higher price, both chains prices should remain fairly in-line.

### How to Bridge MSS

Bridging MSS tokens between BNB Chain and Base Chain is easy and straightforward.

1. Visit the bridge page at [mintstakeshare.com/bridge](https://www.mintstakeshare.com/bridge) or by clicking the bridge button on the [homepage](https://www.mintstakeshare.com/).
2. Ensure you are on the chain that you want to send MSS from.  To send tokens from BNB Chain, you need to be on BNB chain, and Base Chain to send from Base.  Use the tabs at the top of the Bridge component to change chains.
3. Enter the amount of MSS you want to bridge, or use the Max button to bridge all your MSS.
4. Approve the bridge contract to spend your tokens by hitting "Approve" and submitting the transaction
5. Wait for the "Approve" button to change to say "Send x $MSS to BSC/Base", and then press the button to submit the bridge transaction.
6. Now you are done!  Wait for the bridge transaction to complete, and you will have your MSS on the destination chain!  This can take up to 3 minutes for BNB -> Base and up to 30 minutes for Base -> BNB

### Bridging MSS Specifications & Details

**Time to complete bridge**

BNB Chain to Base Chain: 2-3 minutes

Base Chain to BNB Chain: 25-30 minutes

**Fees**

A small bridge fee is paid in native when submitting the bridge transaction.  This will be in BNB for BNB Chain and ETH on Base Chain.  If the bridge transaction costs less than the native amount submitted, you will be refunded the difference once the bridge completes.

### Troubleshooting Bridge Transactions

If you have not received your MSS, try the following steps:

1. Ensure you have waited adequate time for the bridge to complete.  It can take up to 30 minutes for Base chain to BNB chain.
2. Ensure the initial bridge transaction was successful. If the MSS tokens never left your wallet on the source chain, try to submit the bridge again.
3. Click the "View Bridge History" button on the bridge component. This will take you to Axelarscan.io with your wallet address prepopulated. You will see your entire bridge history, and be able to see details on each one.
