How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the ETH asset and ZKsync Era network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Solana 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

Convert the zkSync Era 0x input into a Solana-account receipt

zkSync Era uses EVM account addresses and ETH for source gas. Solana uses Solana accounts, transaction signatures, and SOL for destination activity. A 0x address is not a valid substitute for the Solana receiving address shown by the route. ETH uses native ETH on the source; ETH uses ETH contract token on Solana.

Solana token-account check for ETH

Base58-encoded Solana account address A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. Determine whether ETH arrives as native destination gas or as a tokenized representation. Only the native balance can directly pay that network’s fees. A compatible wallet may create or use an associated token account, and SOL—not ETH unless it is SOL—pays later Solana fees.

zkSync Era approval and gas before the handoff

ETH is the native gas asset for zkSync Era. ETH is a native source balance. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum.

ETH keeps its ticker while changing ledgers

Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a native asset on zkSync Era. The recorded zkSync Era representation uses 18 decimal places. Native ETH exists on multiple recorded origin networks; other network forms require representation checks. Ethereum is classified as a native asset for this route. ETH uses a network-specific contract asset on Solana. The recorded Solana representation uses 8 decimal places. The Solana side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. Native ETH exists on multiple recorded origin networks; other network forms require representation checks. ETH leaves as a native asset. ETH arrives as a network-specific contract asset. The ticker remains the same while the ledger representation changes across the route.

zkSync Era to Solana bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than zkSync Era; using a destination that is not valid for Solana; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; assuming evm and solana addresses are interchangeable. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. 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. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. 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

ZKsync Era wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public. For this ETH on ZKsync Era to ETH on Solana path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side EVM 0x account address and destination-side Base58-encoded Solana account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.

ZKsync Era to Solana FAQs

Can the zkSync Era 0x account be reused as the Solana destination?

No. Base58-encoded Solana account address ETH pays the EVM source transaction, while SOL is used for later Solana activity.

What ETH representation leaves zkSync Era?

ETH is listed as the native representation on zkSync Era; ETH is used for network gas. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. 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 Solana?

ETH is a contract representation on Solana with 8 decimals at 7vfCXTUXx5WJV5JADk17DUJ4ksgau7utNKj4b963voxs. SOL, not ETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. 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 ETH contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. A Solana receipt uses a native SOL balance or SPL token account identified by mint; later token movement and account creation use SOL fees. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.

What destination address should be used?

Base58-encoded Solana account address Do not substitute a zkSync Era address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

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

Can I bridge ETH from ZKsync Era to Solana without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live ETH ZKsync Era to Solana 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.
