Why move funds off Arbitrum
Arbitrum has the deepest DeFi liquidity of any L2, but it's still a rollup: the largest swaps and some mainnet-only venues live on Ethereum, and exchange withdrawals settle there. A liquidity bridge handles the exit without the long native-withdrawal wait, so you can move to L1 or hop to another chain in a couple of minutes.

Common ways to bridge from Arbitrum
Stay safe while bridging
- Approve only what you’re bridging. The widget requests finite token approvals by default — there’s no need to grant an unlimited allowance.
- Check the URL every time. Bookmark this site and confirm the address bar before connecting a wallet.
- Start small for a new route. A tiny test transfer confirms everything works before you move the full amount.
Moving a large amount? Consider a hardware wallet
A hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline, so a compromised browser or a malicious approval can’t drain your funds on its own. It’s the single biggest security upgrade for anyone holding meaningful value on-chain.

Bridging from Arbitrum
How much does it cost to bridge off Arbitrum?
Arbitrum gas is only a few cents, so leaving is cheap. The cost is mostly the route's spread plus, if you're heading to Ethereum, the mainnet gas to receive the funds. The Arbitrum side confirms in under a second.
Do I need to wait to withdraw from Arbitrum?
Only the native rollup path has a delay. A liquidity bridge releases tokens already sitting on the destination chain, so you avoid the long challenge-period wait and usually land in a couple of minutes.
Will my USDC carry over cleanly?
If you hold native USDC on Arbitrum, a route that delivers native USDC on the destination keeps it canonical. If you're holding the older USDC.e, you may want to swap it to native USDC first so you're not moving a thinner-liquidity token.
