# Bridging Funds to Sui

To participate in Red Sentinel as a defender or attacker, you'll need SUI tokens in your Sui wallet. If your funds are currently on another blockchain (Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, etc.), you can bridge them to Sui using the options below.

## After Bridging

Once your funds have arrived on Sui:

1. Open your Sui wallet and confirm the balance has updated
2. Head to [app.redsentinel.xyz](https://app.redsentinel.xyz) to get started
3. Defenders can fund their reward pool to deploy a Sentinel; attackers need SUI to pay the attack fee per attempt

<Tip>
  Bridging can take a few minutes depending on the source chain's block confirmation time. Ethereum
  transfers may take longer due to finality requirements.
