# Bridges

> Bridges enable seamless movement of assets between the **Bitcoin** and **Starknet** networks. They allow users to convert BTC into wBTC and back, unlocking access to DeFi, yield farming, and other BTCFi services on Starknet.   

## 🌉 Bitcoin ↔ Starknet Bridges

In the **Services → Wrap** section, you’ll find several options to send your BTC to Starknet and receive wBTC, or vice versa.

## Atomiq Swap

Brove integrates the **Atomiq SDK** as a trustless, high-security bridge. To use it:

1. Connect your BTC and Starknet wallets.
2. Choose the amount to send (each bridge has a minimum and an approximate fee of 0.25% + 1500 sats or 0.1% Brove commission).
3. Click **Bridge**. Brove will use the SDK to get the best rate.\\

5. A BTC deposit address will be generated. You can send funds automatically from your connected wallet.\\

6. After several Bitcoin confirmations, you’ll receive your wBTC in your Starknet wallet.

> **Note:** The return process (Starknet → Bitcoin) works the same. Simply click the "double arrow" to switch direction. Fees are paid in wBTC via the paymaster.\\

## Layer Swap

Brove also integrates the **LayerSwap SDK** as an alternative bridge. The process is very similar:

1. Connect your BTC and Starknet wallets.
2. Choose the amount to send (minimum + fee of 0.25% + 1500 sats or 0.1% Brove commission).
3. Click **Bridge**. Brove will use the SDK to get the best rate.\\
