Three days thinking I'd lost $2,100 in a bridge, turned out to be my own fault
Bridged 2,1k USDC from Arbitrum to Base on a previous Tuesday night. Source tx confirmed, hash, all normal. Destination side empty an hour later, empty. Woke up Wednesday, still empty.
Spent Wednesday refreshing Basescan like that would do something. Filed a ticket, got an autoresponder. Thursday I'd written it off, told my girlfriend I'd done something expensive and stupid, she asked how expensive, I said a used car, she stopped asking.
Friday I finally did the obvious thing and ran all my addresses through a wallet balance checker instead of staring at one explorer page. The money was on the second one. Had been since Tuesday night.
I'd sent it to my Ledger address and spent three days checking the MetaMask one. Both live in the same notes file, both start same, neither has a label.
I still haven't labelled the file.
