I can't withdraw my funds, and I need to pay my loan, it's already overdue
You do not need to run a ArcBridge Node to withdraw your funds, just you the standard bridge in DID Wallet.
If your bridge transactions did not go through, please provide your transaction link for further investigation.
This is how ArcBridge Node is designed to work, please open your app dashboard, and fill in the required environment variables and then it should start.
I tried to fill the variables still not working
