Base → Metis
Network-specific checks before a cross-chain transaction.
Base and Metis 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
Base: Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 environment with its own network balances, applications and token representations.
Metis: Metis is an Ethereum scaling environment with its own network and token representations.
On the source side, Verify the token contract on Base and do not rely on ticker or logo alone. On the destination side, Verify the token contract on Metis.
Consider Base transaction costs together with bridge and route costs when moving small balances. On Metis, Compare L2 gas with bridge and liquidity costs.
Before You Bridge
- Source: confirm the asset is actually held on Base.
- 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: Use trusted interfaces and verify destination network and token before signing. At the destination, Confirm network and transaction details before signing.
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.
