When this article was published, the MathWallet extension, MathWallet android and MathWallet5 iOS versions have already support Arbitrum.
After the installing, please import the Ethereum wallet first.
Then switch to the Arbitrum network, select [Import]-[Import from other chains], and import the Ethereum wallet
Note: This method can keep the Ethereum wallet and Arbitrum wallet addresses the same, and cross-chain operations need to be performed between the two same addresses.
ETH cross-chain (Ethereum -> Arbitrum)
Open https://mathdapp.store and search to find the Arbitrum Token Bridge dapp for ETH, which can be opened by scanning the QR code on the iOS mobile phone
Enter the amount of ETH and complete the signature
After the transaction is packaged, switch to the Arbitrum wallet to see the balance (the cross-chain handling fee of 0.0001 ETH is deducted)
Total expenses:
Gas fee: 0.007927049677442493 Ether ($27.27)
Cross-chain fee: 0.0001 Ether ($0.3)
Arrival time: 3min
ERC20 cross-chain (Ethereum -> Arbitrum)
Open https://mathdapp.store and search to find the app Arbitrum Token Bridge for ETH.
Search for the Token to be cross-chain (this article takes MATH as an example)
ERC20 token needs to do an Approve authorization first, and then complete the Transfer signature just like ETH
At present, the ERC20 token supported by Arbitrum Bridge uses the whitelist mode, and the tokens that want to join can submit an application to the official https://arbitrum.io/
Total expenses:
Gas fee:
0.003699604 Ether ($12.73)

This operation is a reverse cross-chain from L2 to L1.
Open https://mathdapp.store and search to find the Arbitrum dapp ‘Arbitrum Token Bridge’, which can be opened by scanning the QR code on the iOS mobile phone.
Enter the amount that needs to be cross-chain to Ethereum L1, transfer and sign
Switch to the ETH wallet and enter the ETH application Arbitrum Token Bridge,
you can see that there is a cross-chain transfer in the queue. According to the rollup mechanism, it takes about 8 days to claim to the ETH wallet.
