How to transfer cross-chain in the Metal Wallet
Before we proceed with the first Step on how to transfer between internal chains in the Metal Blockchains, we’ll describe the different chains briefly below:
EVM Chain (C Chain)Built to handle the Ethereum Virtual Machine and for deploying Solidity contracts that can interact with top cryptocurrencies in a trustless environment.
Stake Chain (P Chain)Built for stakers to validate the Metal network or delegate to other validators to earn staking rewards.
Exchange Chain (X Chain)Built to handle cross-chain exchanging and transfers between sub-chains.
Step 1: Visit the Metal Wallet website and click on the Access Wallet button to log in to your account. Check the how do I log into my account chapter if you need more guidance.
Step 2: Click on the Cross Chain tab on the left menu to go to the cross-chain page. Here you can select the source and destination chain. For example, you bought METAL on an exchange and withdrew to your X address and now you want to stake, so you need to transfer it to the P address. So in the example below the Source Chain would be the X Chain and the Destination Chain the P Chain. Next, enter the amount you want to transfer and click on the Confirm button to complete the cross-chain transfer.
Congratulations, you have successfully transferred between chains!
