How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the ETH asset and Hyperliquid network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Optimism 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 network-specific contract asset on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). The recorded Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) 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 Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) L1 into Optimism L2

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) source execution occurs on L1, while Optimism delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. HYPE 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 Optimism. The recorded Optimism 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.

Optimism receipt-side execution

Optimism is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Optimism. EVM 0x account address An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance.

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) deposit-side execution

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) is a L1 EVM network in the Hyperliquid ecosystem. HYPE pays source-side network gas on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). EVM 0x account address; confirm the destination is HyperEVM A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs.

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) to Optimism bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Hyperliquid (HyperEVM); using a destination that is not valid for Optimism; running out of HYPE before the source transaction is submitted. A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. 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 OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. 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

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

Hyperliquid to Optimism FAQs

What ETH representation leaves Hyperliquid (HyperEVM)?

ETH is a contract representation on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) with 18 decimals at 0x1fbcCdc677c10671eE50b46C61F0f7d135112450. HYPE, not ETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. 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 Optimism?

ETH is listed as the native representation on Optimism; ETH is used for network gas. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. 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 ETH contract token and a native ETH. Match the source and output details in the live quote.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

A HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. 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 Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

Sending on a network other than Hyperliquid (HyperEVM), selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Optimism can prevent normal detection or receipt.

Can I bridge ETH from Hyperliquid to Optimism without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live ETH Hyperliquid to Optimism 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.
