Safe Cross-Chain Transfer Checklist on Aptos
A pre-transaction checklist designed to reduce avoidable mistakes when bridging.
Why this matters on Aptos
A short pre-flight checklist can prevent irreversible mistakes. Network, token, recipient, route, fee and minimum received should all be confirmed before signing.
Aptos uses the Move ecosystem and has asset conventions that differ from EVM networks.
Aptos does not follow standard EVM conventions. Address formats, token identifiers and approval mechanics differ, so EVM-oriented checklists and tools should only be applied to Aptos after confirming they are supported.
Aptos: what to pay attention to
- Costs: Compare network costs with any route or destination costs before moving small balances.
- Security: Confirm the destination and transaction effects before signing.
- Assets and tokens: Verify the network-specific asset representation and account details.
A Aptos checklist for this topic
- Compare the quote, the minimum received amount and the total fees before signing.
- Check that the token you hold on Aptos is supported for the route you are considering.
- Allow for a delay between sending and receiving; do not repeat a transfer while one is pending.
- Keep enough native balance on Aptos to pay for the transaction that starts the transfer.
