### Bridging Assets to Open Campus Codex Testnet[​](broken://pages/LgQdqpj6PHvAZCqNxYsn) <a href="#bridging-assets-to-open-campus-codex-testnet" id="bridging-assets-to-open-campus-codex-testnet"></a>

To start interacting with the Open Campus Codex Testnet, you'll need to bridge your assets. Bridging assets involves transferring cryptocurrencies from one blockchain (Arbitrum Sepolia) to another (Open Campus Codex). This process expands your asset's utility by enabling its use within the Open Campus ecosystem. Ensure **Arbitrum Sepolia** is the source and **EDU Chain Testnet** is the destination for the transaction.
