&#x20;5\. Click **Save.** Done! You have connected your Metamask to the Avalanche network. Now all you need is AVAX for gas fees. Head over to the [official chat](https://t.me/byieldfinance) for a complete list of bridges! Keep in mind to bridge your funds in batches to have sufficient gas for multiple transactions.

Alternatively, you can use [https://app.elk.finance/#/elknet](https://app.elk.finance/#/elknet) to bridge over your funds from BSC, Polygon, Fantom, Huobi Eco & xDAI chain.&#x20;

Otherwise, you can choose to use [https://anyswap.exchange/#/router](https://anyswap.exchange/#/router) or [https://synapseprotocol.com/?inputCurrency=USDC\&outputCurrency=BUSD\&outputChain=56](https://synapseprotocol.com/?inputCurrency=USDC\&outputCurrency=BUSD\&outputChain=56)
