Leaving Linea L2 for Polygon L1
Linea inclusion and its ethereum settlement are distinct from final receipt on Polygon. The live route, rather than a generic rollup withdrawal assumption, determines the provider path and timing for this direction.

What you need to know
Linea deposit-side execution
Linea is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Linea. EVM 0x account address A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones.
Select a Polygon-compatible output
EVM 0x account address POL is the native gas asset for Polygon. The quote identifies whether the delivered asset is native, contract-based, or bridged.
Polygon receipt-side execution
Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays destination-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas.
Linea to Polygon bridge mistakes
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Linea; using a destination that is not valid for Polygon; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas.
Private Route for USDC → USDC
Linea wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDC on Linea to USDC on Polygon 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.

Linea to Polygon FAQs
Which asset can travel from Linea to Polygon?
The live route lists assets supported in this direction. Confirm that the selected source representation has an explicit Polygon output before depositing.
Which gas balances matter for this bridge?
A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. 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 Linea address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?
Sending on a network other than Linea, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Polygon can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge USDC from Linea to Polygon without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live USDC Linea to Polygon 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.
