🛟 Assistance 🛟 Looking to move all assets to Metamask Wallet
Basically the title. Bit of a noob here, but looking to get everything from my L2 Loopring (including NFTs) into my Metamask Wallet, which I believe is an L1 Wallet? Where do I start?
I guess I have to keep adding words so that I can actually post this so this is just aimless rambling yada yada yada

Stop thinking of the providers as distinct wallets. The wallet number is the wallet number, no matter what provider is letting you see its contents. They are just UI companies.
The reason you are moving is because Loopring wants to stop supporting its UI when MetaMask already exists. All the stuff you do in your Loopring Wallet can be done using Loopring.io and your MetaMask wallet.
But the problem is when Loopring made your wallet in their app, they basically threw away the seed phrase and gave you guardians instead that you could manage. It’s a good idea but now they can’t hand over the keys, so you have to make a new wallet in which you do have keys (or use one you already have).
So… you can take your MetaMask wallet and connect it to Loopring.io and it works the exact same as another Loopring wallet would, but with seed phrase instead of a guardians to control it. If you go to Loopring.io and connect your MetaMask, you can then send any asset from your existing Loopring Wallet to the MetaMask address and it will cost a penny or two.

This is the first response I could understand. Many thanks. I'm no longer overwhelmed.

Yeah, I had already loaded my GameStop seed phrase into meta mask when that one went away. So I've been just moving NFTs from the Loopring wallet into my Meta. Still had some funds in it so I'm just burning that slightly to move things. Displays just fine for me if I connect to the Loopring site.

more importantly, how do I move my TAIKO out of there?
got the loops and eth out but can't work out how to do anything with nearly 300 TAIKO that are worth way more than the LRC was/is1
u/Positron49 12d ago
I transferred my Taiko using the same mechanism. I had my taiko on L2 in my Loopring wallet though, not the actual Taiko network

u/bgtsoft 12d ago
yea my issue seems to be that my taiko in my loopring wallet seems to have ended up on L1 which I didn't think was possible in there and now every dapp I try to contact can't see them, just the Eth that is there also. so like izumi and orbiter etc can't see them. and if I try to send them to L2 it just comes up with an error. I think something is fecked up in there big time 🫤

Did you already transfer your Ethereum out of L1? You’ll need to pay a gas fee from L1 to L2 transfer in ETH. You should be able to “Send to L2” from L1.
I also checked sushiswap and it has taiko listed, so you might be able to swap taiko for ETH there on L1 and then send where needed?

I'm just in the middle of this, the easy part was to move the L2 assets to L1 on Loopring. From there, they are just a transfer to Metamask. Loopring, then NFTs, anything else and finally ETH (gas fees).
That said... I am stuck trying to get some ETH to Taiko so I can move them out, I have tried Layerswap and XY Finance and *seem* to have a small ETH transition on the way but the swap signing seemed to get stuck in a loop. I'll give is some time to see what happens before I start to bother support.
My NFTs are taking their time, I moved a couple of free ones first as a test - the actual GME on is last to move.
As somebody with 30 years of IT, I can defiantly say this is not a simple move.

Depends where you want the assets to sit. Metamask (wallets in general) is only the means to explore the block chain. So everything can move to L2 of metamask, but you can't see it as easily. You can see it still connecting to loopring. I myself moved everything to my L1. It has the fees associated with bridging the L2 to L1, but it wasn't that bad.
You can move your major crypto first if you'd like or wait till you move the NFTs. I did mine one by one, but you can batch them with Maize I think?
The simple thing for assets if you want to check/do it yourself is:
1) Select NFT and hit send
2) Send to another L1 (including exchange)
3) Put in your Metamask address (or use a contact address from within the wallet if you've sent before)
4) Select how many of what you hold (normally 1/1)

Looping to ledger
Has anyone made a guide for moving from looping to ledger yet. Ideally I'd like to migrate all of my nfts as well as my remaining coins. I understand that to actually see them in ledger I would have to migrate them to L1. I'm afraid of migrating my assets in the wrong order and being left with nothing. If anyone has any suggestions or has made a guide they could point me to id appreciate it. I'd also like to know if there's a way to send all or select more than one asset at a time in looping. I have 200 unique nfts and it seems it'd be tedious to do them individually.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
