ærc Bridge User Guide

The ærc bridge is a cross-chain bridge enabling seamless transfer of tokens and native cryptocurrencies between Ethereum and æternity blockchains. This guide will walk you through using the bridge, understanding its mechanics, and troubleshooting common issues.

Overview

The ærc bridge facilitates:

  • Bridging of native cryptocurrencies (ETH and AE)

  • Transfer of supported tokens between chains

  • Wrapped token functionality (wETH on æternity and wAE on Ethereum)

Prerequisites

Before using the bridge, ensure you have:

  • A wallet compatible with Ethereum (like MetaMask)

  • A wallet compatible with æternity (like Superhero Wallet)

  • Sufficient funds for network fees on the source chain

Step-by-Step Bridging Process

1. Network Selection and Wallet Connection

  1. Select your source network (Ethereum or æternity)

  2. Connect your wallet when prompted

    • Accept the connection request from your wallet

    • If no prompt appears, use the "Connect Wallet" button or reload the page

2. Asset Selection and Transfer Details

  1. Choose the asset to bridge from the dropdown menu

  2. Enter the recipient address on the target network

    • Must be a valid address you control

    • Can be a smart contract capable of receiving and transferring assets

  3. Verify the amount you wish to bridge

3. Initiating the Transfer

  1. Click the bridge/transfer button

  2. Confirm the transaction in your wallet

  3. Wait for transaction confirmation

    • Source chain will process the lock transaction

    • Target chain will process the release transaction

4. Completing the Transfer

Once the bridging transaction is confirmed:

  • For æternity: Assets will appear automatically in Superhero Wallet

  • For Ethereum: You may need to add the token to your wallet manually using the contract address from our supported tokens list

Advanced:

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

  1. Transaction Pending

    • Check gas prices on source network

    • Verify transaction status in block explorer

  2. Assets Not Received

    • Confirm target address is correct

    • Wait for additional block confirmations

    • Add token to wallet manually (Ethereum)

  3. Connection Issues

    • Clear browser cache

    • Reconnect wallet

    • Try alternative supported browser
