# The Beam Bridge

## New Horizons for Interoperability

Beam Bridge connects Beam’s **Private DeFi (PriFi)** to Ethereum’s vast DeFi ecosystem. **Supported assets include ETH, DAI, WBTC, and USDT**. When bridging assets over from Ethereum, tokens are locked inside an Ethereum Smart contract and minted on the Beam blockchain as wrapped Confidential Assets (CAs).

## Get started with Beam Bridge: Step-by-Step Tutorial

Users will need the following:

* [**MetaMask wallet**](https://metamask.io/)
* [**Beam Wallet**](https://github.com/BeamMW/docs-gitbook/blob/main/downloads/README.md)

MetaMask is required for storing and transferring crypto assets on the Ethereum blockchain. Beam Wallet is required to store crypto assets on the Beam blockchain.
