Migrating to Arbitrum
The Coinlander team chose the Arbitrum Layer 2 network due to its significantly reduced transaction fees, faster transaction times and its growing popularity as a general purpose smart contract chain.
Setting up your wallet
Add Arbitrum to MetaMask
Our website should prompt you to add Arbitrum as a Network to your MetaMask extension when you arrive. If for some reason that didn't work, you can add it manually:
Click on the MetaMask extension
Click on “Ethereum Mainnet” network at the top -> click on “Add Network” at the bottom of the menu, and enter the following in the tab that appears:
Network Name: Arbitrum RPC: https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc Chain ID: 42161 Currency Symbol: ETH Block Explorer URL: https://arbiscan.io
Bridge Eth to the Arbitrum Network
By "bridging" assets, you are moving them between blockchain networks (likely from Ethereum Mainnet to Arbitrum). The official Arbitrum Bridge can be found here: Arbitrum Bridge
If you need help bridging, please follow along with their tutorial: Arbitrum Bridge Tutorial
You're ready!
After waiting the requisite time for your assets to bridge (as of writing, 10 minutes), you should see that you have an Ether balance on the Arbitrum network within MetaMask.
