# Purchasing the Guardian Node License

This guide provides a quick overview of how to bridge your stablecoins (USDC or USDT) to Arbitrum using Squid Router, and how to proceed with purchasing the Guardian Node license once your funds are ready.

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure your funds are stored in a self-custody wallet where you fully control the private keys or seed phrase. Examples include MetaMask, Rabby, Phantom, Trust Wallet, Ledger, SafePal and Trezor.

Do not use custodial exchange wallets such as Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, or Crypto.com, as you may not have full control over the assets or transaction permissions.
{% endhint %}

## Step 1: Bridge USDT or USDC to Arbitrum

If your USDT or USDC is currently held on another chain (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain, etc.), you’ll need to bridge it to Arbitrum before you can use it on the Mawari Node Sale platform.

🟢 Watch the video tutorial below to follow the step-by-step process using [Squid Router](https://app.squidrouter.com/), a cross-chain bridge built for speed, simplicity, and reliability.

> ✅ Supported chains and tokens may vary depending on network liquidity. Make sure to select USDT or USDC, and Arbitrum as the destination chain.
