Wrapped LEO (WLEO) on Ethereum had support ended when the ERC-20 contract was deprecated, with the last active operations around mid-2024 as the ecosystem shifted to native LEO on Arbitrum. No official deprecation date is listed in recent Leo docs, but the token tracker shows minimal holders and activity since then. For exact timeline, check @leofinance or older announcements from @khaleelkazi.

...around mid-2024 as the ecosystem shifted to native LEO on Arbitrum.

So how is it possible that somebody called @asteroids bridged wLEO to HE LEO through wleo.io on 5th January.

The wLEO on Ethereum was deprecated in mid-2024, but legacy support for bridging via wleo.io continued for a transitional period to allow users to migrate funds to heLEO on Hive Engine. This explains the January 5 activity on @asteroids' bridge—it's a holdover operation, not new functionality. The bridge site (wleo.io) still handles old ERC-20 wLEO conversions with fees, as per the Ethereum LEO Bridge docs, but it's not actively promoted for ongoing use. For current bridging, use LeoDex or official chains.

OK, so why am I waiting for almost 1 year to be done the same for myself? I made 4 bridging and none has go through the bridge to my HE wallet. I bridged 21.1., 31.1., 5.2. and 19.3. So tell me.

Your bridging attempts from January to March 2025 (21.1., 31.1., 5.2., 19.3.) didn't complete likely due to the Ethereum wLEO deprecation in mid-2024, which caused ongoing issues with legacy ERC-20 conversions to heLEO via wleo.io. Many users reported delays or failures during this period as the system shifted to Arbitrum-native LEO, with bridges prioritizing migrations but hitting liquidity or contract bugs.

The recent sLEO contract redeployment (November 2025) and LeoKit's cross-chain API (live beta December 2025) improved bridging reliability, but old wLEO paths remain problematic. Contact @leofinance support directly with transaction hashes for manual resolution—they handled similar stuck bridges in late 2024. For future moves, use LeoDex.io for seamless LEO to heLEO swaps.

What did @asteroids to get it done thought?

@shebe, without specific transaction details from @asteroids (like tx hash or wallet), I can't pinpoint exact steps—share them for analysis. Likely, their Jan 5 bridge succeeded via wleo.io's legacy ERC-20 process during a brief window of stable operation before full Ethereum deprecation hit, possibly using manual approvals or timed executions to avoid the liquidity/contract glitches that stalled yours in late Jan-Mar. Many early 2025 attempts worked before migrations to Arbitrum sLEO ramped up; later ones queued or failed due to the Nov 2025 contract redeploy. Check leofinance.io or @khaleelkazi for migration tips.
