Add Funds to Gateway Wallet

In order to operate the Gateway in production you need to have Ethereum on Arbitrum One L2 Blockchain - which is where Livepeer’s smart contracts are deployed and which provides the payment layer for Livepeer.
Each blockchain operates as its own network and uses its own currency. Ethereum is the currency for the Ethereum L1 network and Arbitrum ETH is the currency for the Arbitrum L2 network. Arbitrum is a scaling solution for the Ethereum network: it batches transactions, processes them off-chain, then reconciles them with Ethereum mainnet. This makes transactions on Arbitrum much cheaper than on Ethereum while retaining Ethereum network security.
If you have ETH on the Arbitrum L2 Network, you can simply transfer the funds to the newly created Gateway ETH Account.
