WETH9 Bridge (Chain 138) – Router Fix

After deploying a new WETH9 bridge with the working CCIP router, set export CCIPWETH9_BRIDGE_CHAIN138=<new_bridge_address>. All bridge scripts (including those below) use this env var when set. Deploy and configure in one step: scripts/deploy-and-configure-weth9-bridge-chain138.sh. See 07-ccip/README.md and root COMPREHENSIVE_STATUS_BRIDGE_READY.md.

---

✅ Verification Complete

All bridge configurations have been verified:

• ✅ WETH9 Bridge: All 6 destinations configured
• ✅ WETH10 Bridge: All 6 destinations configured
• ✅ Fee calculation: Working
• ✅ Bridge contracts: Deployed and operational

---

🧪 Testing Options

Option 1: Automated Verification (Recommended)

Run the verification script to check all configurations:

cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox
bash scripts/verify-bridge-configuration.sh

This verifies:

• All destination chains are configured
• Fee calculation is working
• Bridge contracts are accessible
• Token balances are readable

---

Option 2: Manual Transfer Testing

To test actual transfers, use the test script:

# Test WETH9 transfer to BSC
bash scripts/test-bridge-transfers.sh bsc 0.01 weth9

# Test WETH10 transfer to Polygon
bash scripts/test-bridge-transfers.sh polygon 0.01 weth10

Requirements:

• Sufficient ETH balance for wrapping
• Sufficient balance for gas fees
• LINK tokens (if using LINK for fees) or native ETH

Process:

1. Wraps ETH to WETH9/WETH10
2. Approves bridge to spend tokens
3. Calculates CCIP fee
4. Sends cross-chain transfer
5. Returns transaction hash for monitoring

---

Option 3: Test All Destinations

To test transfers to all 6 destination chains:

#!/bin/bash
# Test all destinations

CHAINS=("bsc" "polygon" "avalanche" "base" "arbitrum" "optimism")
AMOUNT="0.01"

for chain in "${CHAINS[@]}"; do
    echo "Testing WETH9 transfer to $chain..."
    bash scripts/test-bridge-transfers.sh "$chain" "$AMOUNT" weth9
    sleep 10  # Wait between transfers
done

for chain in "${CHAINS[@]}"; do
    echo "Testing WETH10 transfer to $chain..."
    bash scripts/test-bridge-transfers.sh "$chain" "$AMOUNT" weth10
    sleep 10  # Wait between transfers
done

Note: This will cost gas fees for each transfer. Start with one chain to verify functionality.

🔍 Monitoring Transfers

After initiating a transfer:

1. Check Transaction on Source Chain:

   cast tx <transaction_hash> --rpc-url http://192.168.11.211:8545
   

2. Check Events:

   cast logs --address <bridge_address> "CrossChainTransferInitiated" --rpc-url http://192.168.11.211:8545
   

3. Wait for CCIP Processing: Typically 1-5 minutes

4. Check Destination Chain: Verify receipt on destination chain explorer

---

⚠️ Important Notes

1. Gas Costs: Each transfer costs gas. Budget accordingly.

2. Test Amounts: Start with small amounts (0.01 ETH) for testing.

3. Processing Time: CCIP transfers take 1-5 minutes to process.

4. Fee Requirements: Ensure sufficient balance for fees (LINK or native ETH).

5. Destination Verification: Verify transfers on destination chain explorers.
