🔧 Troubleshooting

Can I cancel my withdrawal?

No, withdrawals cannot be cancelled once initiated.Once you initiate:

Your L2 ETH is immediately burned
Withdrawal enters 7-day challenge period
You must wait and finalize on L1

Options:

Complete the withdrawal (finalize after 7 days)
Once on L1, you can deposit back to L2 if needed

Finalize button is disabled / grayed out

The 7-day challenge period hasn’t completed yet.Solution:

Check “Time Remaining” on bridge interface
Wait until countdown reaches 0
Make sure 7 FULL days have passed
Refresh the page

The button enables exactly 7 days after initiation.

Forgot to finalize / Missed the deadline

There is no deadline!You can finalize your withdrawal:

7 days after initiation ✅
8 days later ✅
30 days later ✅
1 year later ✅

Your funds are safe in the L1 bridge contract. Finalize whenever you’re ready (preferably during low gas periods).

Wrong network when trying to finalize

You’re connected to L2 instead of L1.Solution:

Open your wallet (MetaMask)
Click network dropdown
Select “Ethereum Mainnet” (NOT TeQoin L2)
Return to bridge interface
Finalize button should now work

Finalization transaction failed

Common reasons:

Insufficient ETH on L1 for gas
Gas limit too low
Network congestion

Solution:

Check error message on Etherscan
Make sure you have ~0.01 ETH on L1
Try again with higher gas limit
Your withdrawal is still safe - just retry

Don't see my withdrawal on bridge interface

Solutions:

Wrong wallet:
- Make sure you’re using the same wallet that initiated
- Check wallet address matches
Wrong network:
- Bridge shows L2 → L1 withdrawals
- Make sure you’re looking at the right direction
Different browser/device:
- Withdrawal data is stored in browser cache
- Use same browser or manually enter TX hash
Clear cache:
- Refresh the page
- Clear browser cache
- Reconnect wallet

ETH not received after finalization

Finalized but ETH not in wallet.Solution:

Check finalization transaction on Etherscan
Verify status shows “Success”
Make sure you’re on Ethereum L1 network
Refresh wallet (disconnect/reconnect)
Check the correct wallet address

If finalization succeeded, ETH was sent to your address. Check you’re viewing the right network and wallet.

⏰ Important Timeline Reminders

Set Multiple RemindersDon’t forget to finalize your withdrawal!Recommended reminders:

📅 6 days after initiation: “Withdrawal ready tomorrow”
📅 7 days after initiation: “Withdrawal ready - finalize now”
📅 7 days + 1 week: “Finalize withdrawal (no rush, but don’t forget)”

Add to calendar:

Calendar app on phone
Google Calendar with email reminder
Outlook with notification

Gas Price AlertsSince you can finalize anytime after 7 days:

Wait for low gas periods
Set up gas price alerts on Etherscan
Finalize when notified about low gas
Save $10-20 on transaction costs!

✅ Post-Withdrawal Checklist

Verify L1 Balance

Switch to Ethereum Mainnet in wallet
Check balance increased by withdrawal amount
Account for gas fees

Save Transaction Records

    # Keep these for your records:
    - L2 initiation TX hash
    - L1 finalization TX hash
    - Withdrawal amount
    - Initiation date
    - Finalization date
    - Total time taken

Update Records

If you track your portfolio:

Remove ETH from L2 balance
Add ETH to L1 balance
Note withdrawal fees for tax purposes

💡 Best Practices

Plan Withdrawals 7 Days in AdvanceIf you know you’ll need ETH on L1:

Start withdrawal 7 days early
Don’t wait until you urgently need funds
Withdrawals cannot be expedited

Keep Some ETH on Both NetworksMaintain balances on both L1 and L2:

L1: For mainnet operations and gas
L2: For low-fee transactions
Never withdraw everything at once

Batch WithdrawalsInstead of many small withdrawals:

Accumulate ETH on L2
Withdraw larger amounts less frequently
Save on L1 finalization fees

Finalize During Low GasYou can wait after the 7-day period:

Monitor Ethereum gas prices
Finalize during weekends or late night
Save 50-70% on finalization costs
