In 2025, multichain DeFi is no longer an innovation — it’s the norm. Projects, DAOs, and yield farmers increasingly need to migrate liquidity between blockchains to optimize for fees, yields, or specific dApp ecosystems.

This liquidity migration demands security, speed, and decentralization — a combination that RenBridge offers through a trustless, non-custodial cross-chain infrastructure.

This guide will show you how to use RenBridge to migrate liquidity from one blockchain to another (e.g., from Ethereum to Arbitrum or BNB Chain), especially when dealing with native assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Zcash (ZEC), or Dogecoin (DOGE).

Why Migrate Liquidity Between Chains?

DeFi users and protocols often migrate capital across chains for several reasons:

• Lower gas fees on L2s like Arbitrum and Optimism
• Higher APY opportunities on alternative yield platforms
• Access to specific protocols (e.g., NFT projects on Polygon or DeFi primitives on BNB Chain)
• Risk management and diversification

RenBridge enables this by converting native assets (e.g., BTC) into wrapped tokens (e.g., renBTC), usable on EVM-compatible chains with no middlemen involved.

What Is RenBridge and How Does It Help?

RenBridge is a decentralized cross-chain bridge built on RenVM, a virtual machine powered by a network of decentralized nodes known as Darknodes.

RenBridge allows users to:

• Lock assets on their native chain
• Mint 1:1 wrapped tokens on a target chain (e.g., Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon)
• Redeem back to the original asset at any time

The process is non-custodial, meaning users retain control over their private keys and assets throughout.
