Before using Orca, you’ll need some ETH for gas fees on Eclipse. Follow the instructions below based on your starting point:
From Ethereum Mainnet:
- Purchase ETH on a centralized exchange (CEX) and transfer it to your wallet.
- Use a bridge like Eclipse Canonical Bridge to move ETH to Eclipse. Learn more about the Eclipse Canonical Bridge here.
