Begin by creating a Stellar wallet. Visit wallet and follow the prompts to set up your account. If you already have a LOBSTR wallet with Stellar assets then proceed to step 4.
Purchase assets such as EURC, BRL, XLM, NGNC, AUDD or TZS.
Utilize for transactions, available through LOBSTR's partnerships.
Once you have USDC or XLM you can go to Step 4 and bridge to pendulum. If you want to bridge other stablecoins like BRL, TZS etc then you can use LOBSTR's to exchange XLM or USDC for the stablecoin of your choice that you wish to bridge to Pendulum.
Alternatively, you can place a sell order on Stellar's Orderbook DEX, opting for either a limit or market order. Proceed to the next step once you have acquired your desired stablecoin. Both methods have minimal fees.
You will need PEN to fund the gas fees for Spacewalk transactions and for security deposit (1 pen will be enough for multiple transactions). If you already have PEN jump to step 6. If you don’t have PEN yet you can acquire from a CEX or DEX, or you can swap on Zenlink:
On Zenlink
Choose 'To Pendulum' and select the asset you wish to bridge.
Enter the token amount, then click 'Bridge.'
If you have not yet connected your Polkadot wallet (e.g., Talisman, Subwallet, Polkadot.js) you'll be prompted to do so, and then click ‘Approve’.
Pop up with the transaction details will appear:
Text memo: transaction memo
In single Transaction to: Recipient's address
Return to LOBSTR and select 'Send' from the left-hand tabs. Enter the deposit details as provided by the Spacewalk bridge. Ensure to paste the recipient's address from the 'In a single transaction to' section. Tick the 'Add Memo' box to input the required text memo. Note: if you do not include the memo you coins will be lost. Stellar transactions require memos. Review your payment details before clicking 'Send.'
Then review the payment details and click ‘Send’.
Once LOBSTR confirms the payment, go back to the Spacewalk Bridge interface and confirm the transaction by clicking 'I have made the payment.'

The bridging transaction typically completes within a minute. Monitor the transaction status via the tab on the Spacewalk bridge UI. The UI will indicate ‘Pending’ until the transfer is ‘Completed’.
