Good morning team, I bridged and transferred some eth from celo to the original chain ( ethereum ) but my transaction has been stuck 46 hours. Here is txid: > **[CELO Transaction Hash: 0x92fbf02c09... | CeloScan](https://celoscan.io/tx/0x92fbf02c09cdfcdce026da3b3cf9783f5b7a4905761890c6432bbf35fc371ce0)** > > Transfer 0.8921 WETH to Null: 0x000…000 | Success | Jul-21-2025 07:20:56 PM (UTC) and when I checked on ethereum the last transaction was 7 days ago, and I saw the transaction “Send/bridge burn on celoscan” 6 days ago and it was the same stuck. when I checked in this contract: [https://celoscan.io/address/0x913ee05036f3cbc94ee4afdea87ceb430524648a](https://celoscan.io/address/0x913ee05036f3cbc94ee4afdea87ceb430524648a) The “update” feature for releasing and opening bridge funds to Ethereum is stuck. And when I look at the “dispatch and committedRoot” logs from 6 days ago until my last transaction for ETH tokens, a total of 7 people transferred funds from Celo and they were all the same. Any help would be appreciated, Sincerely, thanks! ---

You need to pay the gas to process and finalize the bridging action. ---

How can I do this when my transaction at optics is like this? I have sent a DM on discord, there’s no answer to asking questions on Optics & Celo support. Discord doesn’t provide a suitable answer, instead they’re throwing questions at each other. And on Optics, it’s even worse, there’s no answer at all🥲 ![1000034829](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/celo/original/2X/b/b0b90034e8fe35dcf464917b890db6a49f781982.jpeg) ---

Hi @rzleffendi, I’ve pinged the team to check the system. Any idea why you waited until now to take this action? Optics has been shifting to retirement mode for almost 2 years now. ---

Well, what else can we do besides bridge? There is no liquidity to exchange it to ETH wormhole either🥲 ---
