There are three ways to get tokens, namely by withdrawing from exchanges, receiving tokens from on-chain transfers, and depositing through cross-chain bridges.

Here is an example showing how to get tokens in an Arbitrum wallet through the above-mentioned ways.

Withdrawing from Exchanges

1. Copy the Arbitrum wallet address in imToken.

2. Enter the withdrawal page in the exchange, select the network (Arbitrum), enter the amount you want to withdraw and paste the copied wallet address. Then click “Submit” to confirm your withdrawal.

Note:

  • Withdrawing through Arbitrum is available in exchanges including OKX, Binance, and FTX. However, for Binance and FTX, there are only a few types of assets that can be withdrawn through the network.
  • Withdrawing through zkSync and Optimism is not available in exchanges for now.

Receiving Tokens from On-Chain Transfers

Click “Receive” and share or copy your wallet address to others.

2. Launch the Hop.Exchange, click “Connect a Wallet” to link your imToken wallet. After that, select the token that you want to deposit and enter the amount. Click “Send” - “Approve” after checking all the information.
Note: “Approve” means enabling the switch from Arbitrum to Ethereum for bridging assets to the Arbitrum wallet from your ETH wallet.

3. Click “Send” to pay fees after you have checked the token selected and the amount again.

Note: please ensure ETH in your ETH wallet is sufficient enough to pay gas fee and the bridging fee before depositing through cross-chain bridges.
