How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the ETH asset and Scroll 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 native asset on Scroll. The recorded Scroll 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.

Scroll to Optimism L2 handoff

This route crosses two L2 execution environments. Scroll settles to ethereum, while Optimism settles to ethereum; each side keeps its own gas balance, token contracts, transaction hash, and settlement progress.

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.

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.

Scroll to Optimism bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Scroll; using a destination that is not valid for Optimism; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. 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

Scroll 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 Scroll 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 and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.

Scroll to Optimism FAQs

What ETH representation leaves Scroll?

ETH is listed as the native representation on Scroll; ETH is used for network gas. A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. 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 native ETH and a native ETH. 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 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 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 Optimism can prevent normal detection or receipt.

Can I bridge ETH from Scroll to Optimism without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live ETH Scroll 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.
