Easy right?! Let's just keep in mind:


Gas Fees: Make sure you have enough gas to cover the transaction fees. Otherwise, you won't be able to complete the porting process, and your tokens will be "held" until enough gas is provided to the blockchain.


Token Address: Adding the right token address to your wallet on the target blockchain is another important step. Token addresses are different on every blockchain, so make sure you import the correct address to your wallet, otherwise, you won't be able to see the tokens in your wallet even if the transaction was already completed.
