Add Funds to Gateway Wallet
In order to use the Gateway you need to send ETH to your Gateway address on Ethereum Mainnet and then bridged to Arbitrum’s L2 Network.If you have ETH on the Arbitrum L2 Network, you can simply transfer the funds
to the newly created Gateway ETH Account.
Livepeer runs on the Arbitrium’s L2 Network and requires the funds to be
bridged.
Bridge Funds to Arbitrum
If you need to bridge ETH you can use the official bridge https://bridge.arbitrum.io/ or use an exchange that supports L2 transfers. For additonal information on bridging view the Livepeer bridging guide. Once you have ETH on the Arbitrum network, transfer it to your newly created Gateway address.Deposit Gateway Funds via Livepeer CLI
For production environments, we recommend a Reserve of at least 0.36 ETH to prevent service interruptions during gas spikes. The higher reserve amount helps maintain service continuity during periods of high gas prices on the network. There is an issue open to reduce this requirement in the future.
Open the Livepeer CLI
Open the Livepeer CLI by following the instructions for your platform. Choose Option 11. Invoke “deposit broadcasting funds” (ETH)- Enter 0.065 for the Deposit and 0.03 for the Reserve amounts when prompted.
