How to Bridge Parallel Tokens?

Parallel Protocol enables seamless multichain interaction thanks to its custom bridge powered by LayerZero.

This guide walks you through the process to bridge PRL, paUSD, or PAR between supported chains, whether you’re moving assets for governance, liquidity provision, or utility.

🧭 Why Bridge?

  • 🌐 Move your PRL, paUSD, or PAR to the chain where you need them

  • Interact with different DeFi ecosystems using the same Parallel assets

  • 🔄 Built on LayerZero’s OFT standard: secure, decentralized, and no wrapping

  • Always 1:1,  no slippage or fees on the protocol level

🚀 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Go to the Bridge Page

Open the official Parallel dApp and click on “Bridge” in the nav bar.

2. Connect Your Wallet

Connect the wallet holding the asset you want to bridge (PRL, PAR, or paUSD).

3. Choose Origin & Destination Chains

Select the origin chain and the destination chain.

All Parallel bridgeable assets support:

  • Ethereum

  • Polygon

  • Fantom

  • Base

  • Arbitrum One

  • Optimism

  • Sonic

4. Choose the Token to Bridge

Use the dropdown to select either:

  • PRL (Governance token)

  • paUSD (USD stablecoin)

  • PAR (EUR stablecoin)

Then enter the amount you want to bridge.

5. (Optional) Set a Recipient Address

By default, the tokens will be bridged to your own wallet. 

You can specify another EVM address if you want to send them elsewhere.

6. Approve & Confirm the Bridge

  • If it’s your first time bridging a given token, approve it

  • Confirm the transaction in your wallet

  • Wait a up to 20 min depending on the route for LayerZero to finalize. You can also track bridge status in layerzero scan (automatically appears in pop up).

Done!

Your tokens will appear on the destination chain, 1:1.

From there, you can use them for:

  • Stake PRL via sPRL1 (only on Ethereum, Polygon PoS, Base & Sonic for now) or sPRL2 (only on Ethereum for now)

  • Vote on Snapshot (only if PRL are staked)

  • Provide liquidity in PRL, PAR & paUSD pools

  • Or simply hold PRL, PAR & paUSD

⚠️ Additional Notes

  • The bridge uses LayerZero’s decentralized infrastructure

  • No token wrapping or synthetic minting, true interoperability

  • Controlled and configurable by the Parallel DAO
