Arbitrum Bridge: how to bridge to and from Arbitrum
Arbitrum is an optimistic rollup on top of Ethereum. Its official bridge is the most trust-minimised option, but withdrawals back to Ethereum wait for a challenge period of about seven days. Third-party bridges skip the wait by paying you out of their own liquidity.
Quick answer
Services supporting Arbitrum: 27. Most used in our guides: Arbitrum Bridge, Relay, Circle CCTP, LI.FI. Direct transfers possible to: Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, TRON, Hyperliquid.
Popular services
Arbitrum BridgeCanonical bridge
Official Arbitrum bridge: the network's own route to and from Ethereum. Slower to withdraw, but no extra parties to trust.
Relay
Relay moves and swaps coins between networks, usually in seconds. You say what you want, and a solver pays you on the destination network right away from its own funds. The solver settles up with Relay afterwards.
Circle CCTP
CCTP is run by Circle, the company that issues USDC. It moves real USDC between networks: Circle destroys the coins on one side and creates the same amount on the other. You end up with genuine USDC, not a wrapped copy.
LI.FI
LI.FI is an aggregator. It compares many bridges and exchanges and picks the best route for your transfer. Many wallets and apps build it in. Jumper, a website for regular users that started inside LI.FI, runs on it.

Alternative ways to move funds
The official rollup bridge
The bridge run by Arbitrum itself relies only on Ethereum and the rollup. It is the safest option, but withdrawals to Ethereum are slower than with third-party bridges.
Move stablecoins instead
Converting to USDC or USDT and moving it through the issuer’s own transfer protocol often has the widest coverage and the least slippage. Swap back on the destination if you need another asset.
Through a centralised exchange
Deposit on Arbitrum, trade if needed, and withdraw on the destination network. Simple and often cheap, but the exchange holds your funds in between and needs identity verification.
Two steps through a well-connected chain
If no single route exists, first move to a chain with many connections (Ethereum, Solana or a major rollup), then on to the destination. It costs two fees, but each step uses a well-tested route.
How transfers work on Arbitrum
- Deposits from Ethereum through the official bridge arrive in minutes.
- Withdrawals through the official bridge take about a week; fast bridges such as Across or Relay take seconds to minutes for a fee.
- Most bridges and aggregators connect Arbitrum to other rollups directly, without going through Ethereum.
What to watch out for
- If you use the official bridge to withdraw, you must come back after the challenge period to finalise.
- Check that the bridge sends the native token, not a bridged copy with a different contract.
