Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Super Bridge?
This platform is a cross-chain bridge designed for the Rootstock ecosystem. It provides a seamless way for users to move assets between Rootstock and other blockchain networks.
-
Peg-In (Move In): Transfer assets from other chains (like Bitcoin) into the Rootstock network.
-
Peg-Out (Move Out): Transfer your assets from Rootstock back to their native or other supported chains.
What is rBTC?
rBTC is a 1:1 Bitcoin-pegged asset on Rootstock. For every BTC you bridge, you receive the same amount of rBTC on the Rootstock network.
Is my BTC safe when using Super Bridge?
BTC bridged to Rootstock is secured through Rootstock’s PowPeg mechanism, which locks BTC on the Bitcoin network and makes the equivalent rBTC available on Rootstock. As with any blockchain transaction, always verify addresses and details before confirming.
How long does the bridging process take?
The process depends on network confirmations, which can take from several minutes to a few hours depending on network conditions. You can monitor the progress directly in the bridge interface. Here are some estimates by provider:
| Provider | Peg-In | Peg-Out |
|---|---|---|
| Flyover - Teks | 20m | 20m |
| Flyover - Rootstock | 20m | 20m |
| Changelly | 15m | 15m |
| Boltz | 1m | 5m |
| Native | 17h | 34h |
Why do I need to wait for Bitcoin confirmations?
Bitcoin confirmations ensure the transaction is secure and irreversible before rBTC is made available on Rootstock. This is a security requirement and cannot be skipped.
Can I send BTC from an exchange?
No. You should only send BTC from a wallet you fully control. Sending BTC from an exchange may result in loss of funds.
What wallets are supported?
You need:
- A Bitcoin wallet you control to send BTC
- A Rootstock-compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask configured for Rootstock) to receive and use rBTC
Always follow the bridge UI instructions for supported wallets.
What fees should I expect?
You may encounter:
- Bitcoin network fees (miners’ fees)
- Rootstock transaction (gas) fees when using rBTC
All applicable fees are displayed before you confirm the transaction.
Can I cancel a bridge transaction?
No. Once a Bitcoin transaction is broadcast to the network, it cannot be reversed or canceled. Always double-check details before confirming.
What happens if I close the browser during the process?
Your transaction will continue on-chain. You can return to the bridge later and check the status using your wallet or transaction hash.
What should I do if something goes wrong?
If the transaction is still pending, wait for confirmations. If you believe something is wrong:
- Check the transaction status on the Bitcoin blockchain
- Review the bridge UI messages
- Reach out through official Rootstock support or community channels
