# Using HopiumSwap without Centralized Exchanges

![](/files/tga1icB8X22IHnOlTy8s)

HopiumSwap is a decentralized application. That means, unlike Binance or other centralized platforms, you don't need to register account to use it... you just need a crypto wallet. So how can you get crypto onto HopiumSwap without using a centralized exchange?

In this tutorial, we're going to guide you through the process of using "cross-chain bridges" to transfer your assets into your Polygon Network wallet, and start using HopiumSwap.

### **Move your assets from other blockchains to Polygon Network** 

You can use a variety of different cross-chain bridges to transfer tokens from Ethereum or other networks, onto Polygon Network wallet.

In the following tutorials, we are going to demonstrate moving USDT from a variety of different blockchains to Polygon Network wallet, using three different cross-chain bridges.

Let's try moving USDT from Polygon (MATIC) blockchain to BSC using AnySwap.

1. Prepare your Polygon (MATIC) wallet with USDT and some MATIC for gas.
2. Since AnySwap only supports MetaMask, OKEx Wallet and Coin98 Wallet. If you are using other wallet apps, we recommend you to import your wallet into MetaMask.
3. Navigate to <https://anyswap.exchange/#/router>
4. Connect your wallet and switch your network to Polygon (MATIC) Mainnet.
5. Select USDT on MATIC mainnet as "From", and USDT on BSC mainnet as "To". Then type in the amount of USDT you want to transfer.

6. Click "Approve USDT" to approve your USDT.
7. Additionally if you want AnySwap to deposit your USDT into another Matic address. Please use the "+ Send To" button.
8. Click "Swap" and complete your final cross-chain transactions.
9. The entire process will take around 10-30 minutes to complete depends on how congested the network is.
10. Once finished. You should receive your fund in your Polygon wallet. Now you can start using HopiumSwap to swap some tokens on Polygon Network!
