# 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://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;
