# Bridging Assets Using the Fuel Bridge
The [Fuel Bridge](https://app.fuel.network/bridge?from=eth\&to=fuel) allows users to transfer assets from Ethereum Layer 1 (L1) to Fuel efficiently and securely.
### How to Bridge Assets
1. **Connect Wallet**: Ensure you have a wallet on Ethereum L1 and Fuel L2.
2. **Select Assets**: Choose the token you wish to bridge from Ethereum L1.
3. **Approve Transaction**: Authorize the transaction in your wallet to move the assets to the Fuel Bridge contract on Ethereum L1.
4. **Complete Transfer**: Confirm the transfer and wait for the tokens to appear in your Fuel L2 wallet.

### Important Notes
* **Transaction Times**: Bridging from L1 to L2 typically takes about **15 minutes**. However, transferring assets from L2 back to L1 can take up to **7 days**, as Fuel currently operates as an [optimistic rollup](https://starkware.co/blog/zk-rollups-explained/zk-rollups-vs-optimistic-rollups/#:~:text=As%20a%20security%20guardrail%2C%20optimistic,proves%20the%20transaction%20is%20invalid.).
* **Gas Fees**: Bridging assets from Ethereum L1 will incur a gas fee.
* **Finality**: Transactions typically finalize after a short delay for security purposes.
