# Bridge from Mode
Bridging ETH from Mode to Ethereum
Mode's bridge is a fork of Optimism's canonical bridge. With Optimism's Bedrock upgrade, a two-step withdrawal process designed to enhance the safety and integrity of cross-chain transactions was introduced.
{% hint style="info" %}
You can check the status of your withdrawal in the [Transactions](https://app.mode.network/transactions/) section.\
\
The 7 day withdrawal period is due to how optimistic rollups work, it's called the challenge period. Read more about it [here](https://docs.optimism.io/builders/app-developers/bridging/messaging)
{% endhint %}
1 - Bridge to Ethereum
First, go to [Mode's Bridge](https://app.mode.network/), click on **`Switch`** and select the token and input the amount you want to withdraw.
Click on **`Review Withdrawal`** , then check the 7 days checkbox and initiate the withdrawal.
You can see the transaction status of your withdrwal in the [**`Transactions`**](https://app.mode.network/transactions/) section
**Please wait up to 1 hour until the status of your tx is ready to prove.**
{% hint style="danger" %}
The steps to Prove and Finalize withdrawals are executed on Ethereum Mainnet. You will need ETH on Ethereum Mainnet to pay for these fees. This is also why these fees may seem high.\
\
Make sure you have ETH on Ethereum to pay for gas.
{% endhint %}
2 - Prove Withdrawal
After waiting for 1 hour, your transaction should be ready to "Prove withdrawal".

3 - Finalize Withdrawals
After proving the transaction you will have to wait 7 days until the status of the transaction is ready to finalise.\
\
\
\
You can now click **`Claim`** and after approving the transcation you should see the funds in your wallet on the Ethereum network shortly.\
\
The fees paid here are on Ethereum network.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.mode.network/user-guides/bridge/bridge-from-mode.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
