How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the ETH asset and Ethereum network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Arbitrum 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

ETH source representation

Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a native asset on Ethereum. The recorded Ethereum representation uses 18 decimal places. Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ.

From Ethereum L1 into Arbitrum L2

Ethereum source execution occurs on L1, while Arbitrum delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. ETH pays source gas and ETH is the destination gas asset; identical-looking wallet addresses do not merge the balances or transaction histories.

ETH destination representation

Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a native asset on Arbitrum. The recorded Arbitrum representation uses 18 decimal places. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.

Arbitrum receipt-side execution

Arbitrum is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Arbitrum. EVM 0x account address An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately.

Ethereum deposit-side execution

Ethereum is a L1 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Ethereum. EVM 0x account address An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit.

Ethereum to Arbitrum bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Ethereum; using a destination that is not valid for Arbitrum; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.

Private Route for ETH → ETH

Ethereum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this ETH on Ethereum to ETH on Arbitrum 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.

Ethereum to Arbitrum FAQs

What ETH representation leaves Ethereum?

ETH is listed as the native representation on Ethereum; ETH is used for network gas. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. Native ETH can fund both transfer value and gas on its selected network. If the source is WETH or another tokenized form, approval and unwrap or exchange logic differ.

What ETH representation arrives on Arbitrum?

ETH is listed as the native representation on Arbitrum; ETH is used for network gas. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees.

Does the same ETH ticker guarantee the same ledger form?

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

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. 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 Ethereum address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

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

Can I bridge ETH from Ethereum to Arbitrum without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live ETH Ethereum to Arbitrum 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.
