# Unwrap XLA

### How to Unwrap wXLA (ETH/BSC/SOL → Scala) <a href="#id-9-how-to-unwrap-w-xla-eth-bsc-sol-scala" id="id-9-how-to-unwrap-w-xla-eth-bsc-sol-scala"></a>

Use this sequence to return **wXLA** from an external chain back to the native **Scala Network** as **XLA**.

1. **Connect EVM Wallet**:
   * Navigate to <https://bridge.scala.network/>
   * Connect your **MetaMask** wallet (for ETH/BSC) or **Phantom** (for Solana).
   * **Crucial**: Switch your wallet network to the **Source Chain** where your **wXLA** is currently held (e.g., Ethereum Mainnet or BSC).&#x20;
2. **Configure Transfer**:
   * **Select Source**: Choose the chain where your wXLA resides (**Ethereum**, **BSC**, or **Solana**).
   * **Select Target Chain**: Set the destination to **Scala Network**.
   * **Enter Amount**: Input the amount of **wXLA** you wish to unwrap.
   * **Enter Destination Address**: Paste your **Scala Network address** (your MetaMask address configured with Scala RPC).
3. **Submit Swap**:
   * Click **Submit Swap** (or **Unwrap**).
   * Sign the required transactions in your wallet:
     1. **Approve**: Allow the bridge to burn your wXLA.
     2. **Confirm Transfer**: Initiate the burn process on the source chain.&#x20;
4. **Transfer Completion**:
   * The bridge burns your wXLA on the source chain and releases native **XLA** on the Scala Network.
   * Wait for the finality period. The native **XLA** will arrive at the **Scala address** you provided.
   * Switch your MetaMask network to **Scala Network** to view your updated balance.
