# How to deposit ETH for vETH

vETH can be used across the Cronos zkEVM Ecosystem. It is pegged 1:1 to ETH but you can earn yield just by holding it. Depositing ETH also earns you points in the [pioneer program](https://blog.cronos.org/p/announcing-the-cronos-zkevm-pioneer).

## Before depositing ETH via the bridge

First, you need to hold ETH on Ethereum. You can purchase ETH via one of the following ways:

1. Swap on [Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/swap)
2. Buy on a centralized exchange and withdraw to Ethereum
