What you need to know

LINK source representation

Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM). The Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. 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.

From Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) L1 into zkSync Era L2

Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) source execution occurs on L1, while zkSync Era 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.

LINK destination representation

Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on zkSync Era. The zkSync Era side is contract-tracked rather than a native gas balance. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

zkSync Era receipt-side execution

zkSync Era is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on zkSync Era. EVM 0x account address A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery.

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 zkSync Era bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Hyperliquid (HyperEVM); using a destination that is not valid for zkSync Era; 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. 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. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Private Route for LINK → LINK

Hyperliquid wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and ZKsync Era wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this LINK on Hyperliquid to LINK on ZKsync Era 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 ZKsync Era FAQs

What LINK representation leaves Hyperliquid (HyperEVM)?

LINK is a contract representation on Hyperliquid (HyperEVM) at 0x1ac2ee68b8d038c982c1e1f73f596927dd70de59. HYPE, not LINK, 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. 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 zkSync Era?

LINK is a contract representation on zkSync Era at 0x52869bae3e091e36b0915941577f2d47d8d8b534. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. 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 HyperEVM source spends HYPE for EVM gas; HyperCore balances, vault positions, and other Hyperliquid account states are not interchangeable inputs. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. 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 zkSync Era can prevent normal detection or receipt.

Can I bridge LINK from Hyperliquid to ZKsync Era without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live LINK Hyperliquid to ZKsync Era 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.
