ETH to METIS Bridging Fees

When bridging from the Ethereum network to METIS, it is much more affordable than bridging from METIS to ETH. This is due to the fact the cost to transact on Ethereum is considerably higher than Layer 2's like METIS. The total cost to bridge funds between these networks is $5 - $10 AUD.
