Bridge LPT between Ethereum and Arbitrum

Move or acquire LPT on Arbitrum One so it can be delegated through the Livepeer protocol.

This page applies only to unbonded LPT. If your LPT is already bonded, unbond it and wait through the protocol unbonding period before you try to bridge or withdraw it.

You always need ETH on the chain where you are signing transactions. For a canonical bridge deposit, that means Ethereum mainnet gas first and then a small Arbitrum balance for later delegation actions.

What counts as “ready to delegate”

Your LPT is ready once all of these are true:

• the token is in a self-custody wallet on Arbitrum One
• you have a small ETH balance on Arbitrum One for future protocol transactions
• the wallet is one you can connect to Livepeer Explorer

Canonical bridge route: Ethereum mainnet to Arbitrum One

Use this path if you already hold LPT on Ethereum mainnet and want the protocol-native bridge flow.

Other practical routes

Buy or withdraw directly to Arbitrum One

If you are acquiring LPT on an exchange, the fastest route is often a direct withdrawal to Arbitrum One. Do not rely on any static exchange-support list here; verify the exchange’s current network selector at the moment you withdraw.

Swap on Arbitrum One

If you are already on Arbitrum One with ETH, WETH, or stablecoins, swapping into LPT can be simpler than bridging LPT itself. The key requirement is still the same: after the swap, the LPT must be in your own Arbitrum wallet.

Bridge-specific details worth knowing

Why third-party bridges are risky for LPT

LPT uses dedicated bridge contracts rather than the generic ERC-20 gateway flow. If a third-party bridge does not explicitly support LPT’s route, do not assume it is safe.

The contracts involved

Canonical bridge flows touch the mainnet L1Escrow contract at {l1Escrow} and the Arbitrum L2LPTGateway contract at {l2Gateway}.

What you cannot bridge

Bonded LPT cannot be bridged. Unbond and withdraw first.

Next steps

Choose an Orchestrator

Compare active-set status, reward reliability, and commission terms before you bond.

Delegate Your LPT

Follow the wallet flow once your LPT is visible on Arbitrum One.
