   * Enter the amount you wish to bridge.
   * Optionally, you can add some extra BNB to cover transaction fees.

If you bridge an amount greater than 100 USDT for the first time, you will receive a gas from CORE Faucet, allowing you to swap your crypto and accumulate more CORE, the token necessary to validate all your transactions on the chain.
