AptosOptimism

Network-specific checks before a cross-chain transaction.

Aptos and Optimism have separate network contexts. A cross-chain route must account for the source environment, destination environment and the mechanism used to transfer or represent the asset.

Route Intelligence

Source network

Aptos: Aptos uses the Move ecosystem and has asset conventions that differ from EVM networks.

Destination network

Optimism: Optimism is an Ethereum Layer 2 environment with its own transaction and asset context.

Asset considerations

On the source side, Verify the network-specific asset representation and account details. On the destination side, Verify the Optimism contract address for the asset you intend to move.

Fee considerations

Compare network costs with any route or destination costs before moving small balances. On Optimism, Compare network gas with bridge and route costs, especially for low-value balances.

Before You Bridge

  • Source: confirm the asset is actually held on Aptos.
  • Destination: confirm the wallet and destination network.
  • Token: verify the exact asset representation rather than relying on ticker or logo.
  • Costs: compare gas, bridge fees, liquidity, price impact and the final received amount.
  • Security: Confirm the destination and transaction effects before signing. At the destination, Check network, recipient, contract and transaction details before signing.
Never use a seed phrase or private key to complete a bridge. A legitimate bridge flow should not require either.

Use the Live Bridge Tool

When a live route is available, open Dust Sweeper and review the current quote immediately before signing. Route availability, liquidity and network conditions can change.
