How do I transfer cross-chain in the Metal Wallet? – Metal Blockchain Knowledge Center

In this article, you'll find out how to transfer between internal blockchains on the Metal Blockchain, and we'll also give you a brief overview of what those internal blockchains are.

Before we dive into the first step of transferring between internal chains on the Metal Blockchain, let's take a moment to describe the different chains briefly:

EVM Chain (C Chain)
This chain is designed to support the Ethereum Virtual Machine and allows for deploying Solidity contracts that can interact with popular cryptocurrencies in a secure environment.

Stake Chain (P Chain)

This chain is designed for stakers to validate the Metal network or delegate to other validators to earn staking rewards.

Exchange Chain (X Chain)

This chain is built for handling cross-chain exchanges and transfers between sub-chains.

Step 1: Go to the Metal Wallet website and click on the Access Wallet button to log in to your account. If you need more help, check out the how do I log into my account article.

Step 2: Click on the Cross Chain tab in the left menu to navigate to the cross-chain page.

Here, you can choose the source and destination chain.

For instance, if you purchased METAL on an exchange and withdrew it to your X address but now want to stake it, you'll need to transfer it to the P address. In this example, the Source Chain would be the X Chain, and the Destination Chain would be the P Chain.

Next, enter the amount you'd like to transfer and click on the Confirm button to complete the cross-chain transfer.

Great job! You've successfully transferred between chains!
