# GetBackMyCrypto

> GetBackMyCrypto is a free-to-use web service that recovers ERC-20 tokens stuck
> in incomplete Layer 2 bridge withdrawals back to Ethereum mainnet.

## What problem does it solve?

When a user bridges tokens (USDC, WETH, USDT, DAI, or any ERC-20) from a Layer 2
network back to Ethereum, a finalization step is required. If this step was missed,
failed, or left incomplete, the tokens become stuck in the bridge contract — the
user has no funds on L2 and nothing has arrived on L1 (Ethereum).

GetBackMyCrypto finds these stuck bridge withdrawals and executes the recovery
transaction on behalf of the user.

## Who should use this service?

Anyone who:
- Initiated a bridge withdrawal from Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync Era,
  Scroll, Linea, Mantle, Arbitrum Nova, or Starknet to Ethereum
- The withdrawal shows as complete or finalized on the L2 side
- But the tokens never arrived in their Ethereum wallet
- Days, weeks, or even months have passed with no resolution

*The 7-day period is a built-in security challenge window for Optimistic rollups.
Recovery can only happen after this window has elapsed.

## How it works (step by step)

1. **Scan** — Connect a wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rabby, Trust, Rainbow,
   Ledger) or paste a wallet address or transaction hash. The service scans all 10
   supported chains automatically.

2. **Review** — The service shows the stuck transaction: which token, how much,
   how long it has been stuck, the service fee, and the exact amount the user will
   receive.

3. **Approve** — The user signs a MetaMask approval for the service fee only.
   The full token balance is never at risk. The approval is for a specific amount
   to a specific contract address that the user can verify.

4. **Recover** — The service submits the finalization transaction on Ethereum.
   Recovered tokens arrive in the user's original wallet address — the same wallet
   that initiated the bridge.

## Pricing

- **Free** for recovery amounts under $10 USD
- **10% service fee** for amounts $10 USD and above, shown upfront before approval
- Gas fees (~$0.50) are separate and paid by the user's wallet

## Supported tokens

Any ERC-20 token that was bridged. Common examples: USDC, USDT, DAI, WETH, WBTC,
MATIC, ARB, OP. The service is token-agnostic.

## Supported wallets

- Browser extensions: MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rabby, and any EIP-1193 wallet
- Mobile: Trust Wallet, Rainbow, Ledger Live, and 400+ wallets via WalletConnect

## Safety

- The user only approves the fee amount — never the full stuck balance
- Recovered tokens always go to the original wallet (same address that bridged)
- The recovery contract address is shown in MetaMask before signing
- The service does not custody funds at any point
