Once this step is done: For future bridging, I recommend Orbiter.finance https://www.orbiter.finance/ (lower gas fees) to bridge to ZKSync.

In step 5 it says "Go to https://www.orbiter.finance/ and do the following: Select Arbitrum Nova as the network you're bridging from, Select Arbitrum One for the network you're bridging to."

Visit the Orbiter website and connect your MetaMask wallet to the site. Initiate the bridging process, allowing you to move your Ethereum from Arbitrum One to Arbitrum Nova. Follow the prompts and wait for the confirmation.

Seeing your other comments you converted BTC to ETH then sent said ETH to your wallet on the zkSync network, if that's what you did, it simply the same address as your eth wallet, if you want to take your ETH out of the zksync network, you can use https://www.orbiter.finance/ from there you can select zksync Era as the source network and then send it to the network of your choice, the destination address is the same as the one the original funds come from.

I used https://www.orbiter.finance as a bridge.

https://www.orbiter.finance, layerswap just a few I found. Let me know if you need more..

The bridges I use to go from ETH mainnet to Polygon (and vice versa) are umbria and orbiter fiance. Never had any issues with these and a lot of people here use them because they are usually pretty fast and have relatively low fees, but as a disclaimer I just want to add always use anything you're connecting your wallet to at your own risk. And don't take any help offered to you in the DMs as they will be scammers. Good luck!

You can always use the official bridges, but I love using Orbiter.finance for bridging, it's one of the cheapest options and works basically instantly.

Alessandro said it'd be a few days before he can get me a data endpoint, but once that happens I'll have clientdiversity.org updated in a day or 2

Ethereum is the most decentralized transaction ledger in the world, with thousands of nodes distributed across the world, and more client diversity than any other blockchain that I'm aware of:

https://clientdiversity.org/

The move to Proof of Stake has also made solo validation accessible to parties other than large pools.

there are guides on https://clientdiversity.org/

Large number of nodes does not equal decentralization. In Ethereum, like all other networks/countries, power tends to consolidate. All the consensus power is consolidated to 1-2 entities.link Hedera is already far more decentralized.

Apparently that’s the case, yes: https://clientdiversity.org/ though the source says „data might not be 100% accurate“, but I guess it’s sure geth dominance is down.

Execution clients only run GETH. Client diversity isn’t even great per eth foundation: https://clientdiversity.org

10+ separate companies implement the protocol in 10 completely different independent code bases https://clientdiversity.org/

As I said this is the second time I did this "report" and asked for better sources the first time as well. In the end I did my best to find reliable sources, but even back then I really wasn't sure if these numbers are correct. And if you look at https://clientdiversity.org/ there are even two data sources you can choose that really differ... so +1 to the irony of our industry...
