I am struggling to get any service to work as they have worked before. Cbridge and XYfinance are not working. what should I try next? Any way to resolve the restricted service from Cbridge for USA residence? Greg ---

I believe there are several pathways, depending on where the end goal is. Note that I do not reside in USA so I am not aware of any restrictions related to that. - Bridge to another chain in USDT using [WanBridge](https://bridge.wanchain.org/AssetBridge) - Send to other Parachain with AstarPortal - Send to an exchange that supports ASTR ---

From experience going through a CEX is the most reliable and practical solution to brige from a chain to another. You have all the Exchanges supporting ASTR here: [https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/astar](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/astar) ---

CEX is the best way according to you, it saves time and some fees. ---

I have heard other users facing the same issue as you. I am not sure about the liquidity on XY Finance. As other agents said, CEX would be the most reliable and fast way to tranfer ETH to ASTR. If you don’t have Astar native wallet, please use this tutorial: > **[Astar Snap to send tokens from CEX to Metamask — Soneium Airdops](https://theastarbulletin.news/astar-snap-to-send-tokens-from-cex-to-metamask-soneium-airdops-4d7477d54011)** > > To participate in the TGE/airdrop of projects that will be launched on Soneium, it is necessary to lock ASTAR EVM in the dApp contracts… ---

Cbridge works but don’t estimate gas correctly, you have to edit max gas manually in your wallet before sending the transaction. @kc8iir01 can you please let us know if your problem is related to apps malfunction or your region being restricted?
