Torches is a decentralized application. That means, unlike KuCoin or other centralized platforms, you don't need to register account to use it... you just need a crypto wallet. So how can you get crypto onto Torches without using a centralized exchange?

In this tutorial, we're going to guide you through the process of using 'cross-chain bridges' to transfer your assets into your KCC wallet, and start using Torches.

### **Move your assets from other blockchains to KCC**&#x20;

You can use a variety of different cross-chain bridges to transfer tokens from Ethereum, BSC or other networks, onto KCC.
