If your Aibai transfer is pending or failed, check its source-chain transaction before trying again. The Aibai route works only for supported assets and networks, so check those details and your destination wallet. For a stalled Aibai crypto bridge transfer, follow the transaction hash through bridge status and destination settlement, then escalate if the quoted time passes.
A bridge transfer has a source-chain transaction and a separate destination-chain delivery, which can finish at different times. Depending on the route, the bridge locks or burns a token before releasing or minting its counterpart, or pays the recipient from a liquidity pool after verifying the deposit. A confirmed source transaction means the first stage succeeded; it does not mean the destination token has arrived.
Suppose Maya is moving ETH from Ethereum to Arbitrum, provided that route is currently offered. She may see a source transaction hash, a bridge transfer ID, and later a destination transaction hash. If her wallet still shows no funds, she needs to check Arbitrum in the wallet before concluding that delivery failed.
The right route is the one that delivers the asset Maya can actually use, at an acceptable total cost and with a security model she understands. Before sending, she should read the live quote rather than assume that two tokens with the same ticker are interchangeable. These details decide whether the transfer solves her problem:
For example, if Maya sends 0.500 ETH, a quote might show 0.498 ETH arriving and an estimated 0.001 ETH in Ethereum gas. She needs at least 0.501 ETH in her source wallet and should expect 0.498 ETH on Arbitrum; the 0.002 ETH difference is the quoted route cost. These are illustrative figures, not a current Aibai quote. Time also depends on the route: a liquidity payout may take minutes, while a native Arbitrum-to-Ethereum withdrawal has a challenge period of at least seven days.
Maya should submit one transfer only after its route, recipient, and minimum received amount look right. A token approval and the bridge deposit can require separate wallet signatures, so she must distinguish them in her transaction history.
An approval alone has not moved Maya’s ETH across chains. If the wallet shows only an approval transaction, she must return to the route and submit the bridge transaction. After submission, she can use the destination transaction hash to check for delivery on the receiving chain.
