Bridge to Mode Network

WHAT IT DOES

This tool enables you to bridge ETH from Ethereum Mainnet to Mode Network, a cutting-edge Layer 2 solution built on the OP Stack that focuses on AI and developer infrastructure. It reads your current ETH balance on Ethereum Mainnet, the Mode Network bridge contract details, and the current gas price to provide an accurate cost estimate before you commit. The tool then constructs and submits a transaction to the Mode Network bridge contract, depositing your specified amount of ETH to the Mode Network, where it becomes available as Mode-native ETH.

Mode Network is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) that is optimized for AI applications, developer tools, and next-generation decentralized applications. It offers low transaction fees and fast finality while maintaining Ethereum-level security through the OP Stack. The bridge uses the official Mode Network bridge infrastructure to securely transfer ETH from Ethereum to Mode, making it easy to onboard to the Mode ecosystem and access its growing AI and developer-focused applications. Mode Network is designed to support the next wave of blockchain innovation, with particular emphasis on AI integration and developer-friendly infrastructure.

HOW TO USE

Connect your wallet using the "connect" button. Ensure you are connected to Ethereum Mainnet (chain ID 1) — the tool will display your current chain ID and ETH balance. Enter the amount of ETH you wish to bridge to Mode Network in the input field. The tool will display the bridge contract address and estimate the gas cost for the deposit transaction.

Review the bridge summary, then click "bridge ETH to Mode" to sign and submit the transaction through your wallet. The tool will wait for confirmation and display the transaction details on Etherscan. After the transaction is confirmed on Ethereum Mainnet, your funds will be processed by the Mode Network bridge and will appear on Mode Network. This process typically takes a few minutes, depending on network congestion.

TECHNICAL MECHANISM — MODE NETWORK OP STACK BRIDGE DEPOSIT

The tool interacts with the Mode Network L1StandardBridge contract, which serves as the entry point for depositing ETH from Ethereum to Mode Network. The bridge's depositETH() function accepts ETH as value and handles the underlying mechanics of submitting a transaction to the Mode Network inbox contract. The bridge uses a combination of Ethereum layer 1 transactions and Mode Network's OP Stack messaging protocol to securely transfer assets between chains.

When you submit a deposit, the bridge contract sends your ETH to the StandardBridge, which then forwards it to the Mode Network bridge's inbox contract. The Mode Network sequencer processes the inbox transaction, credits your account on L2 with the equivalent amount of Mode-native ETH, and produces a receipt. Mode Network is built on the OP Stack, the same technology that powers Optimism and Base, providing a robust and secure foundation for layer 2 scaling. The bridge uses secure multi-signature validators and fraud proofs to ensure the integrity of the transfer. Mode Network is specifically designed to support AI and developer infrastructure, with features that enable efficient AI model execution, data processing, and smart contract development. The bridge is the primary entry point for ETH into the Mode ecosystem, enabling participation in Mode's AI-powered applications and developer tools.

WHAT IT CANNOT SEE

This tool cannot estimate exact gas costs without a live RPC call, and gas prices on Ethereum Mainnet may change between quoting and execution. It cannot guarantee bridge finality times — while typical deposits take minutes, network congestion may extend this time. The tool cannot verify the bridge contract address is correct beyond the pre-configured mapping, and if the mapping becomes outdated, the transaction could fail or be sent to the wrong contract. It cannot cancel a transaction once submitted, and if the transaction fails due to gas issues or contract errors, you may still pay gas fees. The tool cannot handle bridging from non-Ethereum chains, nor can it bridge tokens other than ETH. It also does not support bridging from Mode Network back to Ethereum or handling of ERC-20 tokens.

PLEASE NOTE — ETHEREUM MAINNET ONLY

This tool works exclusively on Ethereum Mainnet (chain ID 1). You must be connected to Ethereum Mainnet to use this tool. It does not support bridging from other networks such as Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, or from Mode Network back to Ethereum. The tool only bridges native ETH — it does not support ERC-20 tokens or other assets. Always verify that you are connected to the correct network and that the bridge contract address displayed matches the official Mode Network bridge address before submitting a transaction. Using the wrong network or an outdated contract address will result in transaction failure and loss of gas fees. Mode Network uses the same ETH token as Ethereum, so your bridged ETH will be usable immediately on Mode Network applications, including AI-powered dApps and developer tools.
