Overview

The standard bridges are responsible for allowing cross domain ETH and ERC20 token transfers. They are built on top of the cross domain messenger contracts and give a standard interface for depositing tokens.

The bridge works for both L1 native tokens and L2 native tokens. The legacy API is preserved to ensure that existing applications will not experience any problems with the Bedrock StandardBridge contracts.

The L2StandardBridge is a predeploy contract located at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000010.

interface StandardBridge {
    event ERC20BridgeFinalized(address indexed localToken, address indexed remoteToken, address indexed from, address to, uint256 amount, bytes extraData);
    event ERC20BridgeInitiated(address indexed localToken, address indexed remoteToken, address indexed from, address to, uint256 amount, bytes extraData);
    event ETHBridgeFinalized(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 amount, bytes extraData);
    event ETHBridgeInitiated(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 amount, bytes extraData);

    function bridgeERC20(address _localToken, address _remoteToken, uint256 _amount, uint32 _minGasLimit, bytes memory _extraData) external;
    function bridgeERC20To(address _localToken, address _remoteToken, address _to, uint256 _amount, uint32 _minGasLimit, bytes memory _extraData) external;
    function bridgeETH(uint32 _minGasLimit, bytes memory _extraData) payable external;
    function bridgeETHTo(address _to, uint32 _minGasLimit, bytes memory _extraData) payable external;
    function deposits(address, address) view external returns (uint256);
    function finalizeBridgeERC20(address _localToken, address _remoteToken, address _from, address _to, uint256 _amount, bytes memory _extraData) external;
    function finalizeBridgeETH(address _from, address _to, uint256 _amount, bytes memory _extraData) payable external;
    function messenger() view external returns (address);
    function OTHER_BRIDGE() view external returns (address);
}

Token Depositing

The bridgeERC20 function is used to send a token from one domain to another domain. An OptimismMintableERC20 token contract must exist on the remote domain to be able to deposit tokens to that domain. One of these tokens can be deployed using the OptimismMintableERC20Factory contract.

Upgradability

Both the L1 and L2 standard bridges should be behind upgradable proxies.
