Where & How
$GNET Can Be Bridged – A Complete Guide
Galactica Network is an Arbitrum Orbit L2 built for privacy-preserving identity (zkKYC), reputation, and compliant DeFi/DeSoc. Its native gas & governance token is
$GNET. Bridging
$GNET is essential to use it on Galactica Mainnet for staking, governance, earning gUBI (the merit-based UBI token), and participating in the ecosystem. Here's exactly where and how you can bridge it right now:
Primary / Canonical Bridge: Arbitrum Bridge (Ethereum → Galactica Mainnet)This is the official, native bridge for moving
$GNET (and ETH) from Ethereum to Galactica Mainnet.→ Go to:
portal.arbitrum.io/bridge
→ Set source: Ethereum
→ Set destination: Galactica Mainnet
→ Select
$GNET (Ethereum contract: 0x690F1eEf8AcEaD09Ac695d9111Af081045c6d5b7)
→ Connect wallet, approve, and bridge.Once bridged,
$GNET becomes native on Galactica (used for gas, staking, voting power via veGNET, etc.).This is the most secure and recommended path for mainnet usage.

Why bridge to Galactica Mainnet?Stake
$GNET at
app.galactica.com to earn rewards and boost voting power (ve-based staking).
Earn gUBI — Galactica’s merit-based Universal Basic Income token, backed by a growing “treasure chest” of
$GNET,
$ARCHAL, and other assets. Use zkKYC credentials and reputation scores in compliant dApps. Participate in governance with locked veGNET community badges. Bridging unlocks the full Galactica citizenship experience.
Additional / Emerging BridgesGalactica is designed as an omni-chain Identity Virtual Machine (IVM), so more bridges are coming:Hyperlane Nexus mentions for Galactica Solana (moving
$GNET between ecosystems).
Potential third-party bridges (LayerZero, Wormhole, etc.) as the network grows, given its CosmosSDK EVM compatibility roots and Arbitrum Orbit foundation.
Always check
app.galactica.com or official docs for the latest supported routes.
Safety Tips When Bridging
$GNETUse official links only (
portal.arbitrum.io for mainnet, thirdweb for testnet).
Double-check contract addresses and destination chain.
Start with small test amounts.
Have ETH on source chain for gas.
After bridging to Galactica, add the network to your wallet (Chain ID: 613419, RPC from
docs.galactica.com).
Never share seed phrases or approve suspicious contracts.
Why This Matters for the Galactica EcosystemBridging
$GNET isn’t just moving tokens — it’s entering a network that treats social capital like DeFi treats financial capital. With zkKYC, programmable compliance, and merit-driven UBI, Galactica aims to make privacy real-world usability the default in Web3.The more users bridge, stake, and build reputation, the stronger the shared “treasure chest” and governance become.
