# NFT

### Guides

* Step 1: Navigate to [Merlin Chain official Bridge](https://merlinchain.io/bridge)
* Step 2: Switch the network to Merlin ➡️ Bitcoin
* Step 3: Connect your wallet, and switch the Asset to the NFT you want to unlock, each operation could only select **up to 10 NFTs**.
* Step 4: Confirm your wallet address, click on 「Bridge」 to proceed
  * Note: You need to reserve gas fee in Merlin Layer2 address.
  * In addition, the fee for a single Bridge operation is 0.0001 BTC/NFT
* Step 5: After the operation is successful, you will receive a prompt on the front end. Currently, to ensure asset safety, the full unlock time for NFT unstaking is **up to 7 days**. Please be patient.

### Unstaking Failure

<figure><img src="/files/zcy4Aoy4cWFzhl4OtIvZ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The main reason for the current failure of NFT bridging is **insufficient balance in the wallet to cover all transaction fees**.

**Total transaction fee = Bridging fee \* Number of NFTs to be bridged + On-chain gas**

Although the wallet balance appears to be sufficient when clicking on Bridge to assess the bridging fee, the on-chain gas is always fluctuating (especially when all users are bridging simultaneously, causing gas prices to rise). Therefore, after deducting real-time gas from the balance during contract invocation, the remaining tokens in the wallet may not be adequate to cover the total bridging fee  Consequently, this results in contract failure, leading to failures in bridging after several days of attempted bridging.

This situation **only deducts on-chain interaction gas**, and the bridging fee is not deducted.

### Suggestions

1. It is recommended to remain more balance to prevent bridging failure after waiting for several days.
2. It's best to bridge out during off-peak hours to avoid high gas periods as much as possible.
3. In the case of bridging failure, it's still recommended to reserve more BTC and try again.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.merlinchain.io/merlin-docs/user-quick-start/how-to/staking-and-unstaking/unstaking/nft.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
