Scenario 1: Metamask is currently not connected to the Arbitrum network. It will prompt you to switch networks.

Scenario 2: If your Metamask does not yet have a connection established to the Arbitrum network, it will prompt you to add this network to your Metamask. All you have to do is approve the addition of Arbitrum to your wallet as shown below.

Scenario 3: Your wallet is connected to the Ethereum network, but there is no NFT in the wallet. In that case, the Migration option won’t be displayed.

  • After connecting to the wallet, if the login account has NFT while on the Ethereum network, it will be displayed to switch back to the Ethereum network for Migrate
  • Click the “SWITCH TO ETHEREUM” button to switch to the Ethereum network
  • Connect Wallet
  • Switch to the ETHEREUM NETWORK
  • You will be shown the Migration prompt (see green notification below)
  • Click the “TRANSFER TO ARBITRUM” button.You will then receive a migration confirmation popup.
  • Click the “TRANSFER TO ARBITRUM” button to migrate your NFT to Arbitrum
  • Approve the NFT migration using your wallet’s confirm button.
  • Confirm the Migration
  • After you have confirmed the migration in your Metamask, a popup displaying “Migration is processing” will appear.
  • Click the “SWITCH TO ARBITRUM” button, and access the ARBITRUM network
  • When logging in after successful mgiration, your NFT will now be shown on the ARBITRUM network. The NFT on the ETHEREUM network has been destroyed.
  • See below for an example of your NFTs displayed on the ARBITRUM MARKETPLACE
