🔁Ethereum <> Arbitrum bridge

The bridging process only concerns users who hold MNTE on Ethereum mainnet (because they participated in the presale for example), as they need to bridge it to Arbitrum to be able to use it on the Mintera App.

Prerequisite: Adding the Arbitrum network to Metamask

To use MNTE on Arbitrum you will need to enable the Arbitrum network on your wallet.

You do not have to create another wallet, you can simply switch Network on Metamask to see your balance on each network using the same public address.

Here is a quick tutorial to add the Arbitrum network (see step 1): https://arbitrum.io/bridge-tutorial/

While Metamask is the wallet most commonly used, other wallets allow you to see and interact with the Arbitrum network.

The bridging process

Option 1: do it yourself

Users can bridge MNTE themselves using the official Arbitrum Bridge.

Pros: you can do it yourself anytime and you are fully in control of your funds.

Cons: gas fees may be high to bridge.

1. Go to the Arbitrum bridge: https://bridge.arbitrum.io/

2. Connect your wallet and make sure that both your Metamask and the bridge website are set to the network Ethereum Mainnet. Make sure the arbitrum website is set on “from: Mainnet” and “To: Arbitrum One”.

3. Click on the dropdown list, enter 0x94D40B49F020BfeBbA1a80A0191EB3737B90E8d3 (MNTE contract address on Ethereum), select MNTE and import.

4. Click “Max” to bridge 100% of your tokens.

5. Double check the summary, and click “Move funds to Arbitrum One”.

Option 2: let us do it (limited offer)

This offer ends on June 30th, 2023.

To avoid the fees associated with bridging the token yourselves, we offer an alternative to users holding MNTE on Ethereum.

Pros: we cover the gas fees.

Cons: centralized, manual and more lengthy process.

1. Simply send your MNTE on Ethereum mainnet to the following address held by the core team: 0x8B668B5B62C943d99C9FB21BA940a2E910FECdD2.

2. We will send you back the same amount on Arbitrum + the equivalent of $5 in MNTE to help cover the transaction fee (weekly distribution).

All current and future distributions of MNTE by the Mintera team (token sales, giveaways and other events) are taking place on Arbitrum directly to simplify the user experience by eliminating the bridging process.

Bridging back to Ethereum

If for any reason you need to bridge your MNTE back to Ethereum, you can follow the inverse process using the Arbitrum Bridge.
