The world of cryptocurrencies is expanding rapidly, and with popular tokens like $Bone and $SHIB emerging, the ability to navigate between networks becomes crucial. Thanks to ArchAngel, who provided an invaluable tutorial video, this guide offers a detailed walkthrough on bridging your $Bone or $SHIB tokens.

Preliminary Steps:
Verify the Website: Always ensure you are on the correct site, shibarium.shib.io. Confirming the address protects against potential scam websites.

Connect to MetaMask: This tutorial uses MetaMask. Once connected, your wallet should be visible on the site.
The Bridging Process:

Access the Bridging Menu: From the website’s main menu, select the staking icon, then “Bridge” from the dropdown.

Selection of Tokens: On the Ethereum mainnet, choose either the $Bone or $SHIB token from the dropdown. Your balance should be displayed promptly.

Determine the Amount: For demonstration purposes, Arch Angel uses a transfer of 100 $Bone or $SHIB tokens.

Understanding the Process: Keep in mind that bridging doesn’t allow staking or delegation on the Shibarium network. If your intention is delegation, remain on the Ethereum mainnet.

Start the Transfer: Transfers usually complete within 20-30 minutes, but can extend to hours during network congestion.

Approve the Transactions: Two transactions occur during the deposit: one for approval and the second for the actual deposit.

Monitor the Progress: Upon initiating, the website updates you on the transaction’s status. Once successful, your token balance will reflect the change.

Key Points to Remember:
Two-Phase Transaction: Remember the process involves both an approval and a deposit transaction. Complete both for a successful bridge.

Withdrawal Timeframes: While transferring $Bone from Shibarium to Ethereum takes seven days, $SHIB, $LEASH, and $ETH transfers range from 60 minutes to 3 hours.

Switching Networks on MetaMask: To view your tokens on Shibarium within MetaMask, switch to the ‘Shibarium’ network. Toggle between Ethereum and Shibarium as needed.
