How do I bridge BEP2 assets to Kava Cosmos?

• Bridge to Kava EVM from Binance Smart Chain
• Bridge to Kava Cosmos from Kava EVM

Users can interact with the Kava Chain and Binance Smart Chain using Cosmos-compatible and EVM-compatible wallets. However, we use Keplr and MetaMask wallets for step-by-step tutorial purposes.

CRUCIAL STEP: Before moving your BEP2 assets to the Kava Cosmos, you must first bridge them to Kava EVM.

BEP2 assets will be bridged to the Kava EVM through Squid Router. However, users will need to bridge BUSD to Kava EVM from Ethereum as the pathway for BUSD between Kava EVM and Binance Smart chain isn't supported. Please note that this walkthrough tutorial applies to any BEP2 assets.
