Hive to Arbitrum & Base: The Ultimate Token Bridge Tutorial for LEO and SURGE

[siberian12]

Want to move your LEO and SURGE tokens between Hive and EVM chains like Arbitrum or Base? Here's a step-by-step guide to help you bridge both ways safely and efficiently.

🔁 Bridging LEO Tokens Between Hive and Arbitrum

🛫 Hive → Arbitrum (arbLEO)

1. Go to the Arbitrum Bridge: https://wleo.io/leo-arbitrum/
2. Connect your Hive Wallet: Use Hive Keychain or HiveSigner to log in.
3. Enter your Arbitrum EVM Wallet Address: This is where your arbLEO will be sent.
4. Specify the amount of LEO to bridge.
5. Confirm and send: The bridge will burn your LEO on Hive and mint arbLEO on Arbitrum.
6. Wait for confirmation: This may take a few minutes.

⚠️ Note: The bridge fee is currently over 10%, so consider this before transferring large amounts.

🛬 Arbitrum → Hive

1. Return to the same bridge page: https://wleo.io/leo-arbitrum/
2. Connect your Arbitrum wallet (e.g., MetaMask).
3. Enter your Hive username as the destination.
4. Specify the amount of arbLEO to bridge back.
5. Confirm the transaction: The bridge will burn your arbLEO and mint LEO on Hive.

🌉 Bridging SURGE Between Hive Engine and Base

SURGE is a token that exists on both Hive Engine and the Base network. Here's how to bridge it both ways:

🛫 HE → Base

1. Send SURGE to @surge.oracle on Hive Engine.

2. Use your EVM wallet address as the memo.

   • Example: If your Base wallet is 0x123...abc, send:
     • To: @surge.oracle
     • Amount: 100 SURGE
     • Memo: 0x123...abc

3. Wait for confirmation: The oracle will mint SURGE on Base and send it to your EVM wallet.

🛬 Base → HE

1. Go to Basescan and connect your wallet.

2. Find the SURGE contract and use the ConvertTokenWithTransfer function.

3. Input the following:

   • Token amount to convert.
   • Destination Hive username.

4. Confirm the transaction: The contract will burn your SURGE on Base and the oracle will mint it on Hive Engine.

⚠️ Tip: Always double-check contract addresses and test with a small amount first.

🧠 Final Thoughts

Bridging tokens between Hive and EVM chains like Arbitrum or Base opens up DeFi opportunities, but it comes with fees and risks. Always:

• Use official bridges.
• Double-check wallet addresses and memos.
• Start with small test transfers.
