Bridge Guide • Route Intelligence

MantaArbitrum

Network-specific checks before a cross-chain transaction.

Manta and Arbitrum 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

Manta: Manta provides an Ethereum-compatible environment with its own network balances and application context.

Destination network

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

Asset considerations

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

Fee considerations

Compare network gas with route and destination costs. On Arbitrum, Compare L2 transaction costs with any bridge or liquidity costs required to reach the destination.

Before You Bridge

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