Bitcoin UTXO and account-chain boundary
Bitcoin uses a UTXO source model while Scroll uses a non-UTXO destination model. Native Bitcoin deposits require a supported Bitcoin address, confirmation-aware input handling, and attention to change outputs; an EVM token labeled BTC or WBTC is not native BTC.
Scroll receipt-side execution
Scroll is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Scroll. EVM 0x account address A Scroll receipt is an L2 native or contract balance whose proof settlement to Ethereum is a separate milestone; later activity uses ETH on Scroll.
Bitcoin deposit-side execution
Bitcoin is a L1 Bitcoin Script network in the Bitcoin ecosystem. BTC pays source-side network gas on Bitcoin. Native Bitcoin address supported by the route, including network-specific bech32 or legacy formats A Bitcoin source spends UTXOs, creates a fee-bearing transaction and possible change, and waits for the route provider’s confirmation depth.
From Bitcoin L1 into Scroll L2
Bitcoin source execution occurs on L1, while Scroll delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. BTC pays source gas and ETH is the destination gas asset; identical-looking wallet addresses do not merge the balances or transaction histories.

The live quote lists the exact Bitcoin input asset and Scroll output representation. A shared ticker is not proof of a shared contract, native ledger, decimals, or wallet support.
Bitcoin to Scroll bridge mistakes
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Bitcoin; using a destination that is not valid for Scroll; running out of BTC before the source transaction is submitted; assuming bitcoin and evm addresses are interchangeable. A Bitcoin source spends UTXOs, creates a fee-bearing transaction and possible change, and waits for the route provider’s confirmation depth. A Scroll receipt is an L2 native or contract balance whose proof settlement to Ethereum is a separate milestone; later activity uses ETH on Scroll.
