How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the DAI asset and Scroll network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Ethereum destination network.

3. Create the order

Open the live route and follow the exact deposit instructions.

4. Track delivery

Use the receipt and status page until the destination funds arrive.

What you need to know

DAI representation on both sides

DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path. The same stablecoin ticker does not make the two network records or contracts interchangeable.

ETH source gas and ETH destination readiness

A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract.

Leaving Scroll L2 for Ethereum L1

Scroll inclusion and its ethereum settlement are distinct from final receipt on Ethereum. The live route, rather than a generic rollup withdrawal assumption, determines the provider path and timing for this direction.

Scroll deposit-side execution

Scroll is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Scroll. EVM 0x account address A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently.

Ethereum receipt-side execution

Ethereum is a L1 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Ethereum. EVM 0x account address An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract.

Scroll to Ethereum bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Scroll; using a destination that is not valid for Ethereum; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical.

The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.

Private Route for DAI → DAI

Scroll wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Ethereum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this DAI on Scroll to DAI on Ethereum path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.

Scroll to Ethereum FAQs

What DAI representation leaves Scroll?

DAI is a contract representation on Scroll with 18 decimals at 0xcA77eB3fEFe3725Dc33bccB54eDEFc3D9f764f97. ETH, not DAI, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. DAI leaves through its network-specific stablecoin contract and can require approval; the collateral design does not make a bridged DAI contract canonical.

What DAI representation arrives on Ethereum?

DAI is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f. ETH, not DAI, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. The receiving wallet must recognize the exact destination DAI contract. Peg intent does not guarantee that a bridged representation has the same liquidity or issuer path.

Does the same DAI ticker guarantee the same ledger form?

No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a DAI contract token and a DAI contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.

What destination address should be used?

EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Scroll address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

Sending on a network other than Scroll, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Ethereum can prevent normal detection or receipt.

Can I bridge DAI from Scroll to Ethereum without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live DAI Scroll to Ethereum quote. Verification requirements can depend on the provider, amount, jurisdiction, and current route. Sasquatch does not verify this route as universally no-KYC; check the live flow before continuing.
