Three receipt checks for Mantle bridge fees
A bridge receipt shows whether a transaction ran and its gas cost, but three checks confirm the network, fee and final token movement before you stop.
Check the network, the fee paid and the destination transfer before treating a Mantle bridge move as complete. A receipt is the record an explorer shows for a submitted transaction. It can confirm that transaction’s result, but it may not show the whole trip across networks. For a fuller walkthrough of the steps, see this mantle bridge guide. These three checks help you separate a fee from a failed transfer or one still in progress.
Which network does the receipt belong to?
First, check that the receipt is on the network where you sent the transaction. A bridge transfer can involve activity on two networks, and each transaction has its own receipt. An Ethereum deposit, for example, starts with a transaction on Ethereum. The destination side is a separate check.
Match the transaction hash in your wallet to the hash shown by the explorer. Then check the receipt’s status. A successful status means that transaction ran without reverting; a failed status means it did not complete as requested. A wallet’s “sent” message only confirms submission. It does not prove the transaction succeeded.
How much did the transaction actually cost?
Use the receipt to check the gas fee, the network charge for processing a transaction. On a standard EVM receipt, multiply gas used by the effective gas price to get the execution fee. This is the amount paid for that transaction, which can differ from the estimate shown before you approved it.
Check the wallet’s fee breakdown as well. Some bridge routes can include costs beyond the execution fee in one receipt. Approvals also use a transaction, so an ERC-20 transfer may require a separate approval fee before the deposit. If you made several transactions, add their costs rather than counting only the deposit.
Did the tokens arrive on the destination network?
Check for the destination transaction or transfer before assuming the bridge is finished. A successful source receipt proves that the first transaction ran; it does not by itself prove that tokens have arrived in the receiving wallet. Look up the destination activity and confirm the receiving address, token and amount.
- Network: Confirm the receipt matches the chain where you submitted the transaction.
- Fee: Read the actual gas used and price, then check for other listed costs.
- Arrival: Confirm a destination transfer to the right address and token.
If the source receipt succeeded but the destination transfer is not visible, check the bridge’s status for that transaction and allow for processing time. For a withdrawal, there may be another step on the destination network, with its own fee and receipt. Keep enough of that network’s gas token to complete it. The useful rule is simple: count the fee from each receipt, and call the transfer done only after the destination side checks out.
