# Bridging

With TAOTools, you can bridge from and to the Bittensor network. In contrast to competitors, our bridge enables users to swap directly from ERC-20 ETH to TAO on the Bittensor network. This allows you to start making transaction on their ecosystem. \
\
Bridging within the TAOTools ecosystem happens in our bot. To get started and bridge your tokens from or to the Bittensor network, navigate to our [Website](https://taotools-documentation.gitbook.io/taotools-documentation/dapp-and-bot-features/www.taotools.ai) and hit the 'Bridge' button or navigate directly to our [Telegram Bot.](https://t.me/TAOToolsInteractBot)\
\
Once in the bot, hit the 'TAO Bridge' button after prompting /start.

From the above menu, select whether you want to bridge from ERC-20 ETH to Bittensor TAO or the other way around. Simply input the amount you want to send, followed by the recipient address.\
\
Once your recipient address is put into the bot, an order will be created for your bridge, which should look something like the below. For this example, simply send the TAO to the address stated, to get it bridged to the Ethereum address.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://taotools-documentation.gitbook.io/taotools-documentation/dapp-and-bot-features/bridging.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
