### FAQ:  Can an NFT only be bridged to Ethereum or Mantle Network?

NFTs can be sent back and forth between both Ethereum and Mantle networks.

### Are gas fees required only on Ethereum?

Gas fees are applicable only on the network from which you are sending. This means you will pay gas fees in ETH when sending from Ethereum to Mantle and you pay MNT as gas fees when transferring from Mantle to Ethereum

### How many transactions are required?

Two transactions are required when sending NFT from Ethereum to Mantle: one for approval and one for sending. When sending from Mantle to Ethereum, only one transaction is required (no approval needed, specific to Mantle).

### How long does it take for a transaction to complete?

Transaction times can vary, taking anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes, depending on the network traffic.

### Error Handling FAQ

### What should I do if my transaction fails to send?

Ensure you have sufficient gas to cover the transaction fees. Gas requirements can fluctuate, so it's important to have enough funds in your wallet to complete the transaction.

### Why can't I see my NFT in the popup when I attempt to bridge it?

Verify that you actually own an NFT by checking your Dashboard.

### I can't find the NFT Bridge option in the menu. What's going on?

The NFT Bridge feature is available only after you've successfully connected your wallet. Please ensure you are logged into the app with your wallet to access this option.

### What should I do if my NFT doesn't appear in my wallet after bridging?

If the NFT doesn't appear immediately, don't panic. Wait for a few minutes as network delays can occur. If the issue persists, verify the transaction on the block explorer and contact our support team with the transaction details.

### Can I cancel a bridging transaction once initiated?

Once a transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, it cannot be canceled. Ensure you're ready to bridge and have verified all details before confirming the transaction.

### Is support available if I encounter issues during the bridging process?

Yes, the Minterest community management team is available to assist with any issues or questions you might have about the NFT bridging process. Contact us through the official Minterest Telegram or Discord channels.

### Why is my NFT Boost not activated?

NFT Boosts on Mantle Network will be activated on March 18, 2024.
