What Happens When Assets Are on the Wrong Network? on Mantle
How to troubleshoot assets that are present on-chain but not visible in your wallet interface.
Why this matters on Mantle
Assets do not disappear because a wallet interface is displaying another network. Switching to the correct network and verifying the contract can often explain an apparently empty balance.
Mantle is an Ethereum-compatible scaling environment with its own network balances and applications.
Mantle is part of the Ethereum scaling ecosystem. The same ticker can exist on Ethereum and on Mantle as separate token contracts, so a balance seen on one network cannot be assumed to exist, or to be redeemable at the same value, on the other.
Mantle: what to pay attention to
- Assets and tokens: Confirm the token representation on Mantle before interacting with it.
- Costs: Compare the complete route cost rather than looking only at the bridge fee.
- Security: Verify contracts, network and destination before signing.
A Mantle checklist for this topic
- Keep a simple record of what you reviewed on Mantle, so the next checkup starts from a known state.
- Never enter a seed phrase or private key into a scanning or recovery site, including for Mantle.
- Leave a balance alone when the cost of moving it from Mantle exceeds what you would receive.
- Confirm the wallet address and that you are viewing Mantle before interpreting any balance.
