Bridge Guide • Route Intelligence

MetisAptos

Network-specific checks before a cross-chain transaction.

Metis 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

Metis: Metis is an Ethereum scaling environment with its own network and token representations.

Destination network

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

Asset considerations

On the source side, Verify the token contract on Metis. On the destination side, Verify the network-specific asset representation and account details.

Fee considerations

Compare L2 gas with bridge and liquidity costs. 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 Metis.
  • 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 network and transaction details before signing. 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.
