Lumiterra operates on an Arbitrum Orbit (L3) application chain, requiring players to perform cross-chain transfers for in-game $LUAUSD transactions. This comprehensive guide walks you through every step—from initial setup to deposits and withdrawals.
Prerequisites for Cross-Chain Transfers
Before beginning, ensure you have:

- Click "Connect Wallet" → "Add Network"
Verify Network Connection:
- Check that the network displays "Arbitrum One"
- Confirm RPC URL:
https://arb1.arbitrum.io/rpc
Step 2: Acquire Stablecoins on Arbitrum
From Exchanges:
- Withdraw USDT/USDC directly to your Arbitrum One address
- Recommended exchanges: Binance, OKX, or Bybit 👉 Compare exchange rates
From Bridges:

Step 3: Exchange Stablecoins for $LUAUSD
