# $PEARL Bridge

Use [PearlBridge](https://pearlbridge.xyz) to swap native PRL ↔ WPRL (ERC-20 on Ethereum) at **1:1**.

> WPRL contract on Ethereum: `0x07696DcaB55E62cfef953666b29Fe1970518cB00` — always verify on [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/token/0x07696DcaB55E62cfef953666b29Fe1970518cB00).

### Quick facts

|          | PRL → WPRL                               | WPRL → PRL                           |
| -------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| Fee      | 0.5% (min 4 PRL)                         | None (just ETH gas)                  |
| Speed    | \~20 min (fast lane) or 24 h (slow lane) | Minutes after burn confirms          |
| You need | Pearl wallet + Ethereum wallet           | WPRL + ETH for gas + `prl1…` address |

### PRL → WPRL (Pearl → Ethereum)

Lock native PRL on Pearl, receive WPRL on Ethereum.

1. Open [pearlbridge.xyz](https://pearlbridge.xyz) and keep the toggle on **PRL → WPRL**.
2. Click **Sign in** (top right) and connect your Ethereum wallet.
3. Enter the amount in **AMOUNT (PRL)** and click **Continue**.
4. Copy the **deposit address** the bridge gives you.
5. From your Pearl wallet, send the **exact amount** of PRL to that address.
6. Wait \~20 min (fast lane) — WPRL lands in your Ethereum wallet automatically.

> Fee example: bridging 1,000 PRL → 0.5 % = 5 PRL → you receive **995 WPRL**.

### WPRL → PRL (Ethereum → Pearl)

Burn WPRL on Ethereum, receive native PRL on Pearl. **No bridge fee** — you only pay ETH gas.

1. Switch the toggle to **WPRL → PRL**.
2. Connect the Ethereum wallet that holds your WPRL.
3. Enter the amount and paste your **`prl1…` Pearl address**.
4. Click **Burn WPRL** and confirm in your wallet (pay ETH gas).
5. Native PRL arrives at your Pearl address within minutes.

> Double-check your `prl1…` address — Pearl transactions are irreversible.

### Fast lane vs slow lane

* **Fast lane** — first 100,000 PRL bridged per 24 h window → minted in \~20 min (6 Pearl confirmations).
* **Slow lane** — any tx > 100,000 PRL, or once the daily fast-lane quota is full → 24 h timelock. Settles automatically, no action required.

Check **Fast Lane Left** on the bridge homepage to know which lane you'll be in.

### Safety

* 1:1 backing — verify live solvency at [pearlbridge.xyz/audit](https://pearlbridge.xyz/audit).
* Always verify the WPRL contract address before approving spends: `0x07696DcaB55E62cfef953666b29Fe1970518cB00`.
* Test with a **small amount** first.
