How to use BSC > Stellar TFT Bridge

#16

Almost a year later and this is still not working.
Exchanged 700 USD with the bridge and never received anything in the wallet. Ticket was opened over 2 weeks ago and still nothing.
Do not use the bridge. You will lose your funds.

#17

That’s not true at all, I have used it before multiple times and it always has worked for me.

#18

The bridge may be working slowly right now, but should deliver funds within 48 hours.

#19

You can also join the telegram chat and ask for support there.

Ok I think it might be something with the BSC wallet addresses the TFT wallet is generating.

The TFT connect wallet I set up on an android phone a few months ago will not accept TFT BNC transactions with the address it currently uses. Metamask displays: Not ETH network, set to lowercase when I enter the address and try send BNC TFT.

I set up another TFT connect wallet on an Iphone just to test and the exact same thing happens.

#21

The TF Connect App actually doesn’t generate or manage BSC addresses. It only works with Stellar and TF Chain based TFT.

#22

Have you tried sending TFT on BSC from Metamask or another wallet to a Threefold wallet?
I have tried that several times on different wallets and have not been able to so far.

#23

Not sure if I understand what you mean, but you must go through the bridge to go from BSC to Stellar Chain.

Sending TFT from Metamask walelt to a Stellar wallet directly will not work.

#24

Hey Mik,

What I am basically saying is that I have not been able to send BSC based TFT purchased on Pancakeswap from my Metamask wallet to my Threefold connect wallet TFT BSC address. I am also saying that the bridge from Stellar to BSC is not working for me and that I believe it has something to do with the addresses the TFT wallet generates.

I’d be happy to post transactions on the blockchain confirming this if that is needed.

#25

OK thanks for the details.

I know there is actually an issue with the bridge. Here’s the statement by Mahendra on the TF telegram channel:

In regards to the bridge issue: There is a low amount of full nodes running on BSC, which are needed to serve all light clients (which we among others use for the bridge). As a result, we can’t submit calls due to a lack of peers. We are working on a solution by setting up our own full node on the grid.

This might be linked to your situation.

Yeah could be.
I guess I should run my own BNB node. Shouldn’t be a problem as I have the 10,000 BNB to run a full node just laying around. :smiley:

How to use the BSC-Stellar Bridge

To use the BSC-Stellar Bridge, follow the following steps. If this is your first time with MetaMask and BSC, read the section Setting up TFT on Metamask.

Note: Always start with a small amount the first time you try the Bridge.

Bridge from Stellar to BSC

Pre-requisites:

  • Metamask account

  • TF Connect App+Wallet

  • TFT on Stellar Blockchain

Steps

  1. Go to the BSC-Stellar Bridge website.

  2. Connect your MetaMask Wallet.

  3. Sign in with MetaMask.

  4. Choose the option Deposit from Stellar.

  11. Scan the QR code that appears on the Bridge window (or write the information manually).

  12. Make sure the MESSAGE is correctly entered.

  14. Press Confirm.

In this method, you use the Bridge directly. Thus, it is normal if you do not see your standard MetaMask address. MetaMask is on ERC20 and TFT is on Stellar. You are sending TFT to the Bridge’s address, and the Bridge sends money to your wallet afterward.

How to setup a Stellar address for TFT transactions?

You can use any Stellar wallet that has a TFT trustline enabled.

The easiest way is to simply create an account on the Threefold Connect App (for Android and iOS) and then use the TFT wallet of the app, which has by default a TFT trustline on Stellar chain.

The bridge will process deposits/withdrawals within 48 hours.

It will cost 100 TFT for the former, and 1 TFT for the latter. There is a fixed fee of 0.01 TFT when using the Stellar blockchain. Those fees are taken from the total of what you are bridging. For example, if you Bridge 80 TFT, from Stellar to MetaMask, you will receive 30 TFT.

I tried to send few TFTs as a test from my stellar wallet (threefold app) to metamask wallet with BNB chain via threefold BSC bridge, the funds never got to my metamask wallet, on threefold wallet I see 3 transactions one send of gas fees, another send of 10 tokens, and then a receive of 9 tokens.
when I scanned the QR code on the bridge the threefold app notified me that there are no wallets with balance for TFT.
am I doing something wrong? Metamask wallet also has some BNB and I have imported TFT token with the above address.

You have to pay 100 tokens as fee to move coins to Binance Chain.

The link to pancake swap is not working anymore

Seems there’s probably a few outdated links in the original post. Thanks for the report.
