What LINK representation leaves Base?
LINK is a contract representation on Base at 0x88fb150bdc53a65fe94dea0c9ba0a6daf8c6e196. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Base source transaction is sequenced on the OP Stack rollup and later settles to Ethereum; Base ETH and Base token approvals remain on the L2 ledger. LINK is a contract-token input, so the source wallet needs the network’s native gas asset and may need to approve the exact LINK contract.
What LINK representation arrives on Ethereum?
LINK is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0x514910771af9ca656af840dff83e8264ecf986ca. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
Does the same LINK ticker guarantee the same ledger form?
No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a LINK contract token and a LINK contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.
Which gas balances matter for this bridge?
A Base source transaction is sequenced on the OP Stack rollup and later settles to Ethereum; Base ETH and Base token approvals remain on the L2 ledger. An Ethereum receipt is an L1 native ETH balance or ERC-20 contract event; later token movement can require ETH gas and a new approval for another contract. 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 Base address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?
Sending on a network other than Base, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Ethereum can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge LINK from Base to Ethereum without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live LINK Base to Ethereum 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.
