ArbitrumAptos

Network-specific checks before a cross-chain transaction.

Arbitrum and Aptos 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

Arbitrum: Arbitrum is an Ethereum Layer 2 environment with its own balances and application ecosystem.

Destination network

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

Asset considerations

On the source side, Confirm the Arbitrum token contract rather than assuming an identical ticker represents the same asset everywhere. On the destination side, Verify the network-specific asset representation and account details.

Fee considerations

Compare L2 transaction costs with any bridge or liquidity costs required to reach the destination. On Aptos, Compare network costs with any route or destination costs before moving small balances.

Before You Bridge

  • Source: confirm the asset is actually held on Arbitrum.
  • 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: Verify the network, contract and destination before signing cross-chain transactions. At the destination, Confirm the destination and transaction effects 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.
