Frequently Asked Questions

I can't send assets:

USDTu: "The transfer amount is too high. Try sending a smaller amount."

USDTu on Waves is bridged from the blockchains Ethereum and Units. Therefore it is possible that on one blockchain there is not enough USDT to bridge to.

Solutions assuming Units bridge has insufficient USDT:

When I connect a wallet, it redirects me to the wallet website.

If your wallet is in the same browser where the bridge website is opened, reload the website and try again.

Different wallets on different browsers

In case you need 2 different wallets for a bridge transfer (for example, you bridge to or from Waves), and they are in different browsers, you can finish 'receive' transaction in another browser on the 'receive' tab.

Let's assume you need to transfer WAVES from Waves to Ethereum. You have MetaMask in Browser A and Phantom in Browser B.

  1. Complete 'send' transaction in browser A.

  2. Open WavesBridge in browser B: https://wavesbridge.io/receive

  3. Complete 'receive' transaction in Browser B by using this guide: How to receive assets on the destination blockchain?

No gas for transaction fees

I get the following error: "You have no assets to pay for the transaction on your receiving address. Please add some money and try again." or “You don’t have enough gas to pay for the transaction.”

You need to pay gas fees for the 'send' transaction AND for the 'receive' transaction. You can transfer some gas tokens from an exchange. Here is a list of exchanges to send some gas tokens: WAVES: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/waves/#Markets UNIT0: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/unit0/#Markets ETH: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/#Markets BNB: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bnb/#Markets SOL: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/solana/#Markets

I changed the network and can't finish the bridge transfer

You need to reload the page and you will see a button with your unfinished transaction. Press “Finish” to finish the transaction.

My transaction is pending on the bridge, but it is successful on the block explorer

My 'Send' transaction failed

If your transaction failed without any error on a block explorer, reload the page and try again.

If your transaction failed with the following error: "ERC20: transfer amount exceeds balance." - read the following explanation:

You can see this error in a block explorer if you approved 'send' transaction 2 times.

It happens if you don't see MetaMask pop-up window with the transaction confirmation, reload the page and try to complete 'send' transaction again. MetaMask asks you for 2 confirmations, you confirm it and as a result, you have 2 transactions: a successful one and a failed one.

In this case, you should open a successful transaction (should be right before the failed transaction). Find the transaction ID, and finish the 'receive' transaction. Use this guide to do so.
