# Cross-Network Funding Bootstrap Strategy
|
|
|
|
Status date: March 29, 2026
|
|
|
|
This runbook captures the practical funding graph from Chain 138 after the live relay and recovery work.
|
|
|
|
## Core constraint
|
|
|
|
Chain 138 uses a custom router that emits `MessageSent` events but does not natively deliver into public-chain CCIP bridges.
|
|
|
|
That means:
|
|
|
|
- a native destination mapping like `138 -> Gnosis` is configuration signal, not proof of a live route
|
|
- the practical first-hop routes out of Chain 138 are the relay-backed lanes
|
|
- the other public chains are best treated as destinations of the mainnet hub after mainnet is funded
|
|
|
|
This is confirmed by live execution:
|
|
|
|
- the relay-backed `138 -> BSC` route worked and was used to bootstrap mainnet
|
|
- the original stuck `138 -> Mainnet` transfer was completed after relay funding and replay
|
|
- the earlier `138 -> Gnosis` native-bridge attempt did not produce a live delivery path
|
|
|
|
## Practical route matrix
|
|
|
|
| Chain | Practical route today | Current prerequisite | Best use |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| Mainnet | Relay-backed direct | Mainnet relay bridge must hold enough WETH | Direct `138 -> Mainnet` when relay inventory is funded |
|
|
| BSC | Relay-backed direct | BSC relay bridge only covers tiny sends right now | Small direct `138 -> BSC`, or bootstrap mainnet through BSC |
|
|
| Avalanche | Relay-backed direct | Avalanche relay bridge only covers tiny sends right now | Tiny direct sends only, or top up inventory first |
|
|
| Gnosis | Via mainnet hub | Bootstrap mainnet first | `138 -> Mainnet`, then `Mainnet -> Gnosis` |
|
|
| Cronos | Via mainnet hub | Bootstrap mainnet first | `138 -> Mainnet`, then `Mainnet -> Cronos` |
|
|
| Celo | Via mainnet hub | Bootstrap mainnet first | `138 -> Mainnet`, then `Mainnet -> Celo` |
|
|
| Polygon | Via mainnet hub | Bootstrap mainnet first | `138 -> Mainnet`, then `Mainnet -> Polygon` |
|
|
| Arbitrum | Via mainnet hub | Bootstrap mainnet first | `138 -> Mainnet`, then `Mainnet -> Arbitrum` |
|
|
| Optimism | Via mainnet hub | Bootstrap mainnet first | `138 -> Mainnet`, then `Mainnet -> Optimism` |
|
|
| Base | Via mainnet hub | Bootstrap mainnet first | `138 -> Mainnet`, then `Mainnet -> Base` |
|
|
| WEMIX | Deploy-first | Bridge not deployed and no gas seed | Deploy and seed first |
|
|
|
|
## Best strategy now
|
|
|
|
### 1. Keep mainnet as the hub
|
|
|
|
This is the best practical topology.
|
|
|
|
Why:
|
|
|
|
- `138 -> Mainnet` is a real relay-backed route when the relay bridge has WETH
|
|
- mainnet already has enabled fan-out mappings for Gnosis, Cronos, Celo, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base
|
|
- the successful recovery proved that topping up mainnet relay inventory and replaying is operationally viable
|
|
|
|
### 2. Use BSC as the bootstrap and recovery helper
|
|
|
|
BSC is the best non-mainnet first hop today because:
|
|
|
|
- the relay-backed lane is live
|
|
- deployer already has native BNB gas
|
|
- external bridging from BSC into mainnet is easy
|
|
|
|
Current limitation:
|
|
|
|
- BSC relay inventory is only large enough for tiny sends right now
|
|
|
|
Operational use:
|
|
|
|
- use it for small bootstrap steps
|
|
- use it to refill mainnet when mainnet relay inventory is empty
|
|
|
|
### 3. Treat Avalanche as a tiny-send lane until it is topped up
|
|
|
|
Avalanche is structurally similar to BSC but currently weaker because:
|
|
|
|
- the relay-backed lane exists
|
|
- deployer has native gas
|
|
- relay inventory is present but still below the `0.01` WETH working threshold
|
|
|
|
### 4. Treat the native-mapped chains as mainnet destinations
|
|
|
|
Gnosis, Cronos, Celo, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base are still valuable, but their practical role is:
|
|
|
|
- `Mainnet -> target` destinations after mainnet bootstrap
|
|
- not proven direct Chain 138 first hops
|
|
|
|
## What to keep funded
|
|
|
|
The highest-payoff balances to maintain are:
|
|
|
|
1. Mainnet relay bridge WETH
|
|
2. Mainnet bridge LINK
|
|
3. BSC relay bridge WETH
|
|
4. Avalanche relay bridge WETH if Avalanche is needed
|
|
|
|
Cleaning up legacy return paths back to Chain 138 is still worthwhile, but it is lower priority than keeping the relay-backed lanes liquid.
|
|
|
|
## Exact helpers
|
|
|
|
Live route printer:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox/smom-dbis-138
|
|
./scripts/deployment/print-chain138-public-chain-unload-routes.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Focused examples:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
TARGET_CHAIN=mainnet ./scripts/deployment/print-chain138-public-chain-unload-routes.sh
|
|
TARGET_CHAIN=bsc ./scripts/deployment/print-chain138-public-chain-unload-routes.sh
|
|
TARGET_CHAIN=polygon ./scripts/deployment/print-chain138-public-chain-unload-routes.sh
|
|
UNLOAD_AMOUNT_WEI=30000000000000000 ./scripts/deployment/print-chain138-public-chain-unload-routes.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Live audit:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd /home/intlc/projects/proxmox/smom-dbis-138
|
|
./scripts/deployment/audit-funding-bootstrap-routes.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Recommended execution order
|
|
|
|
1. Audit the current route and inventory state.
|
|
2. If mainnet relay inventory is sufficient, use direct `138 -> Mainnet`.
|
|
3. If mainnet relay inventory is insufficient, use `138 -> BSC` plus the proven external BSC -> Mainnet bridge pattern to refill mainnet.
|
|
4. Once mainnet is funded, fan out `Mainnet -> target` for Gnosis, Cronos, Celo, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base.
|
|
5. Seed Avalanche relay inventory only if Avalanche needs to become an active first hop too.
|
|
|
|
## Bottom line
|
|
|
|
The practical route graph is now:
|
|
|
|
- first hop from Chain 138 through the relay-backed lanes
|
|
- keep mainnet funded and use it as the hub
|
|
- use BSC as the proven bootstrap and recovery helper
|
|
- treat the native-mapped public-chain bridges as mainnet destinations unless a dedicated relay is added for them
