# How to HECO

Block Explorer :

<https://hecoinfo.com/>

Starting Gas (HT token)

* withdraw some from Huobi CEX
* get a crumb from a friend to get you going against bridged-in assets

**Bridging via CEX (stables & non-)**

* Huobi CEX:

<https://www.huobi.com/>

* no KYC required if withdrawal < 2 BTC/day ($20 in 2-week point cards for trading fees with KYC)
  * limited chain support, mostly ETH & HECO, has MATIC to Polygon, no BSC
  * low withdrawal fees (e.g.

*de minimis*

USDT to HECO)

* Binance CEX
  * e.g. USDT via TRC20 to Huobi CEX wallet, flat $1 fee
* SWFTcoin CEX:

<https://swap.swftcoin.com/>

* Need email-verification, gives instant access without KYC
  * On Wallet tab, can deposit numerous tokens from numerous chains by choosing token(chain) \[e.g. BTCB(BSC)] then Deposit to receive address to send to
  * Once received in CEX wallet, switch to Swap tab then Swap section, and swap for desired flavor of token (e.g. HECO). Fee on swaps is 0.2% (or 0.1% if holding token SWFTC). (Ignore DEX section, confirmed not working.)
  * Switch back to Wallet tab, search out

```
token(HECO)
```

, then Withdraw to HECO chain for small flat fee which you can learn by viewing this UI even prior to depositing.

**Bridging, stablecoins**

* Binance Bridge:

<https://www.binance.org/en/bridge>

(tentative, seeking confirmational report; \~$1 flat fee suggested) - e.g. USDT from BSC to Huobi CEX wallet via TRC20

* O3Swap:

<https://o3swap.com/swap>

(HECO <--> BSC/Ethereum, limited token options, 0.3% fee)

**Bridging, non-stables**

* MDEX Bridge:

<https://mdex.com/#/bridge>

* HMDX & BNB (HMDX recommended, acquire by swap on Mdex site \[BNB liquidity on HECO limited])
  * feeless
* multichain.xyz:

<https://multichain.xyz/>

(e.g. BIFI with min 0.01 BIFI fee)

* Anyswap v2:

<https://anyswap.exchange/bridge>

* uses multichain.xyz as engine
  * difficult UI/UX; choose target chain in MetaMask before filling out swap info
* O3Swap:

<https://o3swap.com/swap>

(same note as above)
