# thirdweb Bridge: ChainID 138 IS Supported!

**Date**: 2025-01-27  
**Status**: ✅ **ChainID 138 IS SUPPORTED**  
**Critical Update**: Previous test was incorrect

---

## ✅ Major Discovery

### ChainID 138 IS Supported by thirdweb!

**Source**: [thirdweb Chainlist](https://thirdweb.com/chainlist?query=138)

**Chain Details**:
- **Name**: Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet
- **Chain ID**: 138
- **Native Token**: ETH
- **Available Services**: 1
- **RPC**: `https://138.rpc.thirdweb.com`
- **Explorer**: `https://blockscout.defi-oracle.io`

**Bridge Support**: ✅ **"Bridge assets to and from Defi Oracle Meta using our secure cross-chain infrastructure"**

**Source**: [thirdweb Defi Oracle Meta Page](https://thirdweb.com/defi-oracle-meta)

## Why Previous Test Failed

### Issue: API Endpoint vs Bridge Service

**Previous Test**: Used `/v1/bridge/chains` endpoint which may not include all chains

**Actual Support**: ChainID 138 is supported via thirdweb Bridge service, but may be:
1. Listed under "Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet" name
2. Available through Bridge widget/UI rather than direct API
3. Using different API endpoint structure

---

## Updated Test Strategy

### 1. Use Bridge Widget/UI

**Recommended**: Use thirdweb Bridge widget instead of direct API

**Documentation**: [thirdweb Bridge FAQ](https://portal.thirdweb.com/bridge/faq)

**Key Points**:
- Bridge is an "asset router" that combines multiple protocols
- Supports tokens with sufficient liquidity
- Can request token support via dashboard

### 2. Check Token Support

**How to Request Token Support**:
1. Go to Bridge tab in project dashboard
2. Settings → "Don't see your token listed?"
3. Fill out chain and token address
4. Wait 20-40 minutes for route discovery

**Token Requirements**:
- Must have sufficient liquidity
- Must be on a supported chain (ChainID 138 ✅)

## Corrected Analysis

### ✅ What's Actually True

1. **ChainID 138 IS Supported**: ✅ Listed as "Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet"
2. **Bridge Service Available**: ✅ "Bridge assets to and from Defi Oracle Meta"
3. **RPC Endpoint**: ✅ `https://138.rpc.thirdweb.com`
4. **Credentials Configured**: ✅ Working

### ⚠️ What Needs Verification

1. **Token Recognition**: Need to check if WETH is recognized
2. **API vs Widget**: May need to use Bridge widget instead of direct API
3. **Route Availability**: Need to test actual bridge route

---

## Next Steps

### 1. Test Bridge Widget

**Use thirdweb Bridge Widget** instead of direct API:
- React Component
- Iframe
- Script tag

**Documentation**: [Bridge Widget](https://portal.thirdweb.com/bridge/widget)

### 2. Request Token Support (If Needed)

**If WETH not recognized**:
1. Go to project dashboard
2. Bridge → Settings
3. "Don't see your token listed?"
4. Submit:
   - Chain: Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet (138)
   - Token: `0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2`
   - Wait 20-40 minutes

### 3. Test Bridge Route

**Using Bridge Widget**:
```javascript
import { Bridge } from "@thirdweb-dev/react";

<Bridge
  clientId={THIRDWEB_CLIENT_ID}
  fromChain={138}
  toChain={1}
  fromToken="0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2"
  toToken="0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7"
/>
```

## Updated Verdict

### ⚠️ **CONDITIONAL GO - ChainID 138 IS Supported!**

**Previous Assessment**: ❌ Incorrect (based on API endpoint response)

**Corrected Assessment**: ✅ **ChainID 138 IS supported** via thirdweb Bridge

**What Changed**:
- ✅ ChainID 138 is listed in thirdweb chainlist
- ✅ Bridge service available for Defi Oracle Meta Mainnet
- ✅ RPC endpoint available: `https://138.rpc.thirdweb.com`

**Remaining Questions**:
- ⚠️ Is WETH token recognized at canonical address?
- ⚠️ Can we get a valid route for WETH → USDT?
- ⚠️ Should we use Bridge widget instead of direct API?

---

## Recommendations

### Immediate Actions

1. **Test Bridge Widget**: Use React component or iframe
2. **Check Token Support**: Verify WETH is recognized
3. **Request Token Support**: If WETH not listed, submit request
4. **Test Route**: Try actual bridge transaction

### Implementation Options

**Option 1: Bridge Widget** (Recommended)
- Use thirdweb Bridge React component
- Handles routing automatically
- Better UX

**Option 2: Direct API** (If widget doesn't work)
- Use Bridge API with correct endpoints
- May need different endpoint structure
