Reverse the route: choose the token on Abstract as the source and the token and network you want as the destination. Keep enough ETH on Abstract to pay for the transaction.
Abstract Tips
Abstract uses smart contract wallets by default (Abstract Global Wallet); make sure the destination address is the one shown in your Abstract wallet.
Mistakes to Avoid
- No ETH for gas on arrival.
- Wrong address format: Abstract uses 0x (EVM) addresses.
- Fake bridge sites: use the widget or bookmarked apps, never links from direct messages; see crypto bridge safety.
