# Export currency to Ethereum (as ERC-20)

Any currency on Verus can be exported to Ethereum as an ERC-20. The currency can then be used in the complete Ethereum ecosystem, and on the Verus network. Sending to and from Verus and Ethereum couldn't be easier. More on the Verus-Ethereum Bridge.

# Exporting the currency

Now, let’s export a currency from Verus to Ethereum as an ERC-20 over the non-custodial bridge. We must have enough funds to pay for the export.

The command to export a currency to Ethereum as an ERC-20:

./verus -chain=VRSCTEST sendcurrency "myVerusID@" '[{
    "address":"0x85a7dE2278E52327471e174AeeB280cdFdC6A68a", 
    "currency":"myCurrency", 
    "amount":0, 
    "exportto":"veth", 
    "exportcurrency":true, 
    "feecurrency":"veth"
}]'

Let's break the command down with what you can change.

myVerusID@ is the from- and change-address. Can be a VerusID, R-address or i-address. The fee to pay for the export comes from here, and if you paid too much fees the rest will be returned here.

address You can fill in any ETH-address here, it is actually not important what is here.

currency is the name of the currency you wish to export as an ERC-20. E.g. MyCurrency, MyCurrency.vETH.

# Wait for notarization

After the bridge has been notarized to the blockheight where you have exported the currency, you can choose it from the token dropdown on the Bridge website mainnet (opens new window) or Bridge website Goerli testnet (opens new window)
