WBT is the native gas token on Whitechain L2 and an ERC-20 token on Ethereum mainnet. WhiteBIT is the canonical issuer of WBT and the team behind Whitechain. This page covers the three ways to acquire WBT for use on Whitechain: buying on the exchange, using a fiat on-ramp, or bridging from Ethereum. For test WBT on the public testnet, see Testnet faucet.

​
On the WhiteBIT exchange

Available now. Direct withdrawal to L2 Mainnet becomes available after Mainnet launch.
WhiteBIT is the primary listing for WBT and the deepest source of liquidity. As the canonical issuer of WBT, WhiteBIT supports direct deposits and withdrawals to and from the Whitechain network. You can buy WBT with crypto via the Convert tool or with fiat through a deposit and trade.

​
Buy with crypto

  1. Open WhiteBIT and sign in.
  2. Top up your balance with any supported asset.
  3. Open the Convert tool, choose your source asset, and select WBT as the destination.
  4. Confirm the conversion. WBT lands on your Main balance immediately.

​
Buy with fiat

  1. Deposit fiat to your WhiteBIT account using a card or bank transfer, depending on the supported methods in your region.
  2. Use the Convert tool or the Spot Trading terminal to buy WBT.

​
Withdraw to Whitechain

  1. On the Balance page, find WBT and select Withdraw.
  2. In the Network section, select the Whitechain option.
  3. Enter the amount and your Whitechain address, then confirm with email and 2FA codes.
Native WBT on L2 Mainnet becomes available through the same withdrawal flow once Mainnet is live.

​
Bridge from Ethereum

The Portal bridge’s Ethereum to Whitechain route is deployed on testnet today. Mainnet routes are published at Mainnet launch. On the public testnet, you can also claim test WBT from the faucet instead of bridging.
WBT is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. The Portal bridge, Whitechain’s centralized bridge, is the path for moving WBT between Ethereum and Whitechain. The OP Stack canonical bridge has no deposit or withdrawal path for native WBT, on testnet or mainnet.
  1. Confirm you hold WBT on Ethereum. On mainnet, the token is at 0x925206b8a707096ed26ae47c84747fe0bb734f59; verify on Etherscan.
  2. Submit the transfer through the Portal on Ethereum and sign one transaction, with your Whitechain address as the recipient.
  3. Wait for the source network to confirm, about 12 minutes on Ethereum.
  4. Once the destination network holds enough liquidity, the Portal relayer releases the funds on Whitechain as a native WBT balance.
Transfers are subject to the Portal’s daily limits. For the full transfer flow, statuses, limits, and contract addresses, see Portal bridge.

​
On-ramps

Limited at launch. WhiteBIT fiat purchases (see above) cover the primary path. Third-party on-ramp partners will be announced separately.
Most users today should route through WhiteBIT for fiat purchases. When additional on-ramp providers (MoonPay, Transak, Ramp, and similar) integrate WBT or Whitechain directly, they will be listed here.

Testnet WBT

For development and testing on Whitechain Sepolia (chain ID 1874), do not use mainnet WBT. Claim test WBT from the Testnet faucet instead. Test WBT has no real value and cannot be bridged to mainnet.
