Wallet Address Safety: Avoiding Simple Mistakes on Metis
Best practices for copying, checking, and sharing wallet addresses before sending assets.
Why this matters on Metis
A correct address on the wrong network can still produce a bad outcome. Copy carefully, verify the first and last characters, and confirm the destination network.
Metis is an Ethereum scaling environment with its own network and token representations.
Metis is part of the Ethereum scaling ecosystem. The same ticker can exist on Ethereum and on Metis 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.
Metis: what to pay attention to
- Security: Confirm network and transaction details before signing.
- Assets and tokens: Verify the token contract on Metis.
- Costs: Compare L2 gas with bridge and liquidity costs.
A Metis checklist for this topic
- Review and revoke permissions you no longer use on Metis, especially unlimited approvals.
- Check the domain you are on before connecting a wallet for any Metis action.
- Send a small test amount first when an address or route on Metis is new to you.
- Verify the contract address on Metis from an independent source rather than a ticker or a logo.
Bridge from Metis
Compare L2 gas with bridge and liquidity costs. On the Manta side: verify the token contract and network-specific representation.
The bridge guide below is informational; any transaction depends on current network conditions and the route shown in the bridge interface.
