So it’s been a while since I last made a withdrawal on Publish0x. Last time I transacted was a few years back and I sent Eth to my METAMASK account. So I didn’t have any second thoughts, when setting up my new Eth address for my cold wallet.
A few days pass and I see the transaction is to be finalized on April 1st. Cool I can just sit back and check on that in a few weeks.
The first rolls around a check my wallet no transactions…….What is happening?
The devil is in the details!
I check back on PUBLISH0X withdrawal process page. Check to see if my Eth address is correct, it is. Then I scroll down further and then I see my mistake.
How to Withdraw Optimism Network $OP, $USDC or Ethereum $ETH Tokens from Publish0x to Optimism Network Layer 2?
The Optimism Network is a Layer 2 scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain, enjoying support from leading exchanges such as Binance, Bybit, KuCoin, BitGet, and more.
I forgot to look at the details. Layer2 did not exist last time I had a payment. It makes since to send on layer2 since there are lower fees.
So here we are. A cautionary tale, always read through everything if it’s been awhile, technology changes.
