# How to convert WACME to ACME

**Wrapped Accumulate (WACME)** is an ERC-20 wrapped version of the native **ACME** token on Ethereum. WACME allows users in the Ethereum ecosystem to use ACME across an array of DeFi platforms, such as Uniswap and Curve.

The Accumulate Bridge offers a simple and user-friendly method to convert WACME back into native ACME for use in Accumulate.

Converting WACME to ACME can be accomplished with the Accumulate Bridge's Release feature. Releasing refers to burning Wrapped ACME (WACME) in Ethereum to release an equal amount of **ACME** in Accumulate (minus bridge fees). The Accumulate Bridge simplifies releasing ACME by providing an easy-to-use interface for management. 

### Steps in releasing ACME

**1.** Connect your wallet

The first step is to visit the Accumulate Bridge in your web browser and connect your wallet.

### **Transaction hash**

You can also view the transaction on [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io) by copying the transaction hash displayed by the bridge.
