About

What it answers, and for whom.

A native withdrawal moves assets from a rollup back to Ethereum through its canonical bridge, and it cannot be released until Ethereum accepts the rollup's state. How long that takes depends on the proof system. This dashboard measures it from the chains themselves for every covered rollup: the time from the withdrawal transaction on the layer 2 to the first moment it could be finalized on Ethereum and to the moment users actually finalized it.

On optimistic rollups such as Base, OP Mainnet and Arbitrum One, a withdrawal waits through a challenge window of about a week after the state that includes it is proposed. On zk rollups such as ZKsync Era, Linea, Scroll and Starknet, it waits for a validity proof of its batch to be verified, which depends on how often each rollup proves. Both are timed here step by step.

Users often finalize later than they could, so the dashboard keeps two clocks: the protocol's minimum and the observed time. Fast bridges and intent networks can return funds sooner for a fee; they are outside this dashboard, which measures the native route.

Method

How it will be measured.

Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.

How receipts work →
  1. On OP Stack chains, each withdrawal is matched by its hash from MessagePassed on the layer 2 to WithdrawalProven and WithdrawalFinalized on the chain's OptimismPortal, and the dispute game that covered it is read from the DisputeGameFactory.
  2. On Arbitrum One, each L2ToL1Tx event from ArbSys is matched to the assertion that included it, the block that assertion was confirmed in on Ethereum and the OutBoxTransactionExecuted event that released it.
  3. On zk rollups, a withdrawal can be finalized once the batch that contains it is executed or finalized on Ethereum: BlockExecution on ZKsync Era, FinalizeBatch on Scroll, Linea's finalization events and Starknet's LogStateUpdate.
  4. The protocol minimum is the earliest block at which a withdrawal could be finalized; the observed time adds the delay before the user finalized it, and both are reported as medians and as the slowest tenth.
  5. Every timing names the layer 2 transaction and the Ethereum transactions it was matched to.

Questions

Questions people ask.

How long does it take to withdraw from Base to Ethereum?

On Base, a native withdrawal is proven on Ethereum once a state proposal covers it and can be finalized after the proof system's waiting period, about a week under fault proofs. The dashboard shows the current median for each step and marks any change to Base's proof system.

Why do optimistic rollup withdrawals take a week?

The waiting period gives anyone time to challenge a wrong state claim before Ethereum treats it as final. A shorter window would leave less time to catch a fraudulent withdrawal, so most optimistic rollups keep it at about a week.

Are zk rollup withdrawals instant?

No. They wait until a validity proof for their batch is verified on Ethereum, and some rollups add an execution delay after that. How often a rollup proves sets the wait, which the dashboard measures for each one.

How long does an Arbitrum withdrawal take?

A withdrawal from Arbitrum One can be executed on Ethereum once the assertion that includes it is confirmed, after a challenge period of about a week under the BoLD protocol, and the user then executes it from the outbox. The dashboard times both steps.

Can I withdraw faster?

Fast bridges and intent networks pay out on Ethereum much sooner and carry the native withdrawal's wait and risk themselves, for a fee. This dashboard measures the native route only; the cross-chain intents dashboard covers fill times.

Challenge window
The time during which a state claim on an optimistic rollup can be disputed before withdrawals that rely on it are released.
Proving a withdrawal
On OP Stack chains, the first Ethereum transaction of a withdrawal, which shows it is included in a proposed state.
Execution delay
A wait some zk rollups add between verifying a batch's proof and executing it on Ethereum.
