  • Select wETH in the Transfer From dropdown and choose the originating network and Transfer To Kava EVM as the destination Network
  • Input the total amount of wETH you want to bridge
  • Review fees and adjust slippage — the price change you're willing to accept during the Transfer — default is 0.5%
