Stronghold is launching the SHx Bridge between Stellar and Ethereum networks using Axelar's secure interoperability protocol.
Starting soon, SHx holders will move assets freely between two of the most powerful blockchain ecosystems in existence.
How the Bridge Works
The bridge enables seamless movement of SHx between Stellar and Ethereum while maintaining a 1:1 total supply across both chains. Access the unique strengths of each network without being locked into one ecosystem.
Need Stellar's lightning-fast, low-cost transactions? You have it. Want Ethereum's massive DeFi ecosystem and developer tooling? Done. Switch between them anytime.
Action Required: Upgrade Your Tokens
If you hold legacy Ethereum ERC-20 SHx tokens, you must upgrade to maintain compatibility with the bridge.
We're providing two upgrade paths:
Direct upgrade UI – Lower fees, launching soon (we'll announce timing)
Uniswap pool – Fast, with a small swap fee
Choose the option that works best for you. Both paths lead to the same destination: full bridge compatibility.
What the Bridge Delivers
The bridge ensures consistent liquidity, exchange access, and interoperability across chains. You tap into the distinct utility of each ecosystem:
Stellar's efficiency meets Ethereum's depth. Payment rails connect with DeFi infrastructure. Speed combines with scale.
This is bridge-building in action, not just talking about integration, but actually shipping it.
One Unified Supply, Two Powerful Networks
Most blockchain projects talk about interoperability. We're delivering it. The infrastructure we're building makes blockchains work together for users, not against them.
Next Steps
Watch for our official announcement with:
- Detailed upgrade instructions
- New contract address
- Step-by-step guidance for both upgrade options
- Bridge launch timeline
We'll walk you through the process to ensure a smooth transition.
Looking Ahead
Two networks. One unified SHx. Built to move wherever our community needs it.
The barriers are coming down. The bridge is going up.
