How to Access BRLA: Step-by-Step Guide for TRU Holders

sebdavies · March 30, 2026, 3:16pm

As part of the transition to Brila, TRU holders will have the ability to access BRLA through the official access portal.

We recognize that not everyone in the community regularly uses self-custody wallets or interacts across multiple networks. To make this as smooth as possible, we’ve put together a step-by-step guide that walks through the full process, from withdrawing TRU from an exchange to completing the access flow through the portal.

This guide is designed to be practical and easy to follow, with a focus on minimizing common mistakes around network selection, wallet setup, and gas.

Before getting started, please take your time and read through the instructions carefully. If you are unfamiliar with self-custody, consider doing a small test transaction first and double-checking each step along the way.

As always, only use official links shared by the team, and never share your seed phrase or private keys with anyone.

The full guide is below.

How to Access BRLA Using Your TRU Tokens

This guide explains how to move your TRU tokens from a centralized exchange into a self-custody wallet, and then use those tokens in the Brila access portal.

Please read carefully before starting.

Important Warning

You are responsible for your wallet and transactions.

Brila, TrueFi, and contributors cannot recover tokens lost due to:

Incorrect addresses
Wrong network selection
Lost seed phrases
Phishing or scams
User error

Before doing anything:

Double-check everything
Do a small test transaction
Never share your seed phrase
Never enter your seed phrase into a website

If unsure, stop.

Before You Start (Very Important)

TRU must be on Ethereum
You should use Rabby Wallet
Use Rabby Gas Account (recommended) to simplify gas

What You Need

TRU tokens (likely on an exchange)
Rabby Wallet
https://rabby.io
Gas setup (choose ONE):

OPTION A (Recommended): Rabby Gas Account
OPTION B (Fallback): ETH + HYPE manually

Official Brila Access Portal
https://access.brila.finance/

Only use the official link.

Step 1: Set Up Rabby Wallet

Download:

https://rabby.io

Then:

Create a new wallet OR import existing
Write down your seed phrase
Store it offline
Never screenshot or store digitally

If you lose your seed phrase, you lose your funds.

Step 2: Copy Your Wallet Address

Your address looks like:

0x1234…abcd

You will use this to receive TRU.

Step 3: Withdraw TRU from Your Exchange

On your exchange:

Go to your TRU balance
Click Withdraw
Paste your wallet address
Select network: Ethereum

CRITICAL

TRU must be sent on Ethereum.

DO NOT use:

BNB Chain
Arbitrum
Base
Any other EVM compatible network
Any other non-EVM compatible network EVM

Before Confirming

Check:

Token = TRU
Address = correct
Network = Ethereum
Consider a small test first

After Withdrawal

Open Rabby
Check Ethereum network
Confirm TRU appears

If not:

Check on Etherscan:

https://etherscan.io

Paste your wallet address or transaction hash in the search bar

Step 4: Gas Setup (Recommended: Rabby Gas Account)

This is the easiest option.

What is Rabby Gas Account?

It lets you:

Fund one balance
Pay gas across networks automatically
Avoid managing ETH vs HYPE manually

How to Use It

Open Rabby
Go to “Gas Account”
Click “Deposit” or “Top Up”
Add funds (typically ETH or supported assets)

Once funded:

Rabby handles gas automatically
Works across supported networks

Important Notes

You must fund it BEFORE transacting
Keep enough balance for multiple transactions
If something fails, fallback to manual gas

Step 4B: Manual Gas Setup (Fallback Option)

If not using Gas Account:

You need BOTH:

ETH (Ethereum gas)

Required for Ethereum transactions
Add ETH to your wallet

HYPE (HyperEVM gas)

Required for HyperEVM transactions

Key Point

ETH and HYPE are NOT interchangeable.

Step 5: Go to Brila Access Portal

Go to:

https://access.brila.finance/

Only use official link.

Step 6: Connect Your Wallet

Click “Connect Wallet”
Agree to Brila Access Portal Terms & Conditions
Select Rabby
Approve connection

If MetaMask appears, Rabby still works.

Step 7: Verify Everything Before Proceeding

Check:

Correct wallet connected
TRU balance detected
Gas setup ready
Correct network

Read everything carefully.

Step 8: Complete the Access Process

Typical flow:

Connect wallet
Confirm TRU balance
View Total Claimable BRLA balance
Select “Swap TRU for BRLA”
Enter the amount of TRU you wish to Swap (E.g. 20000)
Select a lock duration (up to 50% bonus based on duration selection)
Select “Approve TRU”
Confirm in Rabby
Wait for confirmation
Return to Access Portal UI
Select “Swap TRU for BRLA” in the popup window
Confirm in Rabby
Wait for confirmation
The TRU to BRLA popup window will have a “Transaction submitted! Your BRLA tokens will be available after the lock period.”
The UI will update after a few minuted with your claimable BRLA balances

Step 9: Confirm Completion

After completion:

Look for confirmation message
Check transaction hash
Refresh wallet

If BRLA doesn’t show:

Switch networks
Refresh wallet
Add token manually if needed

Common Mistakes

Wrong network
TRU must be on Ethereum

Wrong address
Always double-check

No gas
Use Gas Account OR ETH + HYPE

Fake portal
Only use official link

Blind signing
Always read transactions

Sharing seed phrase
Never do this

Troubleshooting

TRU not showing:

Check Etherscan
Confirm correct network
Refresh wallet

Gas error:

Fund Rabby Gas Account
OR
Add ETH (Ethereum)
Add HYPE (HyperEVM)

Portal not detecting balance:

Refresh page
Reconnect wallet
Check network

Funds missing:

Check transaction hash

Safety Checklist

Before final transaction:

Official portal?
Correct wallet?
TRU in wallet?
