All native coins of [supported chains](../general/supported-chains) can be wrapped and used with Pantos, thus having full multi-blockchain capabilities. Wrapped coins are always 1:1 backed by the actual asset, which is locked in a smart contract and can be redeemed anytime.

To test the wrapping and unwrapping functionality on testnets, you need to use an external faucet to claim some native coins for one of the supported chains.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
The Pantos faucet can only supply PAN test tokens, you need to use a different faucet to get native coins on the testnets.
{% endhint %}

### Step 1: Select asset

Select which token you want to wrap or unwrap.

### Step 2: Wrap or Unwrap

Choose if you want to wrap a coin or unwrap it.

### Step 3: Amount

Enter the amount that you want to wrap. Make sure to leave enough in your wallet to cover the gas fees. Wrapping/unwrapping operations cannot be paid with PAN.

### Step 4: Sign transaction

Confirm the transaction and initiate the process.
