# Bridging to Perennial

{% hint style="info" %}
If you'd like to withdraw from Perennial, see [this page](/guides/bridging-from-perennial.md)
{% endhint %}

To deposit to Perennial, you are able to choose between two bridges. Each bridge has different speed/costs, so ensure to look at either option when deciding which one to use.

## Using the Intent bridge (\~30 sec)

Using Relay's intent bridge you can deposit from any of the 50+ supported chains. However, this bridge induces slippage so look at the native bridge if you are sensitive to fees.
