Yes you can! The DeGate bridge works both ways; you can bridge your tokens from ETH->ARB1 or from ARB1->ETH. Kindly note we only support ETH/USDC for the moment.

Unfortunately, you are not able to do so. Kindly unwrap your tokens using any DEX before your bridge them over!
Will my tokens be wrapped on Arbitrum One?
The bridge only supports ETH/USDC. For example, if you bridge ETH over to Arbitrum One, you will get ETH tokens on Arbitrum One.
How long will does each transaction usually take?
Each transaction will usually take 10 minutes, no more 7-days wait between Ethereum and Arbitrum One!
My transaction has been pending for hours, what should I do?
Not to worry, your tokens are SAFE! There might be some backend issues, and our tech team is constantly working to ensure all transactions go through. All transactions will be logged. In the unfortunate event your transaction fails, your tokens will be returned to your wallet.
Is there any way for me to cancel my transaction? I do not want to bridge my tokens over to Arbitrum One anymore

Unfortunately, DeGate is only available in certain regions. We seek your understanding on this matter.
Who provides the liquidity for the DeGate bridge currently?
Currently, the liquidity on both L1 and L2 is provided by DeGate DAO. Positive arbitrage opportunities may arise because the DeGate bridge employs the AMM model - you can read more about it here (https://medium.com/degate/degate-launches-l1-l2-bridge-beta-on-arbitrum-one-e8057eb61b88)
Why is the slippage so high on DeGate bridge for higher amounts of ETH/USDC?
The bridge is still in beta phase, more liquidity will be added to both L1 and L2 pools as we gather more feedback from the community in general. 

For optimal slippage on the DeGate bridge, we would recommend doing < 10 ETH per transaction. So break it up into a couple of transactions if you have a large amount to bridge over. Do note all transactions will be stopped if slippage is more than 10% in order to put the user's interest first.
