If you are using an [EOA](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/accounts/#types-of-account) wallet you can use the same address. If your Ethereum mainnet wallet is a contract (e.g. a multisig) then you must specify an [Arbitrum wallet address](/arbitrum/arbitrum-faq/#what-do-i-need-to-do-to-use-the-graph-on-l2) where your transfer will be sent. Please check the address carefully as any transfers to an incorrect address can result in permanent loss. If you'd like to use a multisig on L2, make sure you deploy a multisig contract on Arbitrum One.

## What happens if I don’t finish my transfer in 7 days?

The L2 Transfer Tools use Arbitrum’s native mechanism to send messages from L1 to L2. This mechanism is called a “retryable ticket” and is used by all native token bridges, including the Arbitrum GRT bridge. You can read more about retryable tickets in the [Arbitrum docs](https://docs.arbitrum.io/arbos/l1-to-l2-messaging).

When you transfer your assets (subgraph, stake, delegation or curation) to L2, a message is sent through the Arbitrum GRT bridge which creates a retryable ticket in L2. The transfer tool includes some ETH value in the transaction, that is used to 1) pay to create the ticket and 2) pay for the gas to execute the ticket in L2. However, because gas prices might vary in the time until the ticket is ready to execute in L2, it is possible that this auto-execution attempt fails. When that happens, the Arbitrum bridge will keep the retryable ticket alive for up to 7 days, and anyone can retry “redeeming” the ticket (which requires a wallet with some ETH bridged to Arbitrum).
20+
21+
This is what we call the “Confirm” step in all the transfer tools - it will run automatically in most cases, as the auto-execution is most often successful, but it is important that you check back to make sure it went through. If it doesn’t succeed and there are no successful retries in 7 days, the Arbitrum bridge will discard the ticket, and your assets (subgraph, stake, delegation or curation) will be lost and can’t be recovered. The Graph core devs have a monitoring system in place to detect these situations and try to redeem the tickets before it’s too late, but it is ultimately your responsibility to ensure your transfer is completed in time. If you’re having trouble confirming your transaction, please reach out using [this form](https://noteforms.com/forms/notionform-l2-transfer-tooling-issues-0ogqfu?notionforms=1&utm_source=notionforms) and core devs will be there help you.
