# Bridging $EWT

Energy Web X has a bidirectional bridge with Ethereum mainnet, and a one-directional bridge with the Energy Web Chain (lifting only from EWC to EWX).

When you bridge from Ethereum to EWX, your ERC-20 tokens are locked on Ethereum, and an equal amount is minted on EWX.\
When you bridge from EWX to Ethereum, your EWX tokens are burned on EWX and the equivalent ERC-20 amount is released back to your Ethereum wallet.

#### Key Features

* Secure Cross-Chain Movement: Validated by EWX collators through multi-signature consensus.
* 1:1 Peg: The total circulating supply of EWT remains constant across both chains.
* Transparency: All transactions are verifiable on-chain via Etherscan and the EWX Block Explorer.
* Compatibility: Works with standard wallets such as MetaMask, SubWallet, and Nova Wallet.
* Fully audited with the highest security rating.&#x20;
