Choose the LINK asset and Optimism network you currently hold.
Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Arbitrum destination network.
Open the live route and follow the exact deposit instructions.
Use the receipt and status page until the destination funds arrive.
Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Optimism. The Optimism 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.
This route crosses two L2 execution environments. Optimism settles to ethereum, while Arbitrum settles to ethereum; each side keeps its own gas balance, token contracts, transaction hash, and settlement progress.
Chainlink is classified as a governance or utility token for this route. LINK uses a network-specific contract asset on Arbitrum. The Arbitrum 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.
Arbitrum is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Arbitrum. EVM 0x account address An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately.
Optimism is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Optimism. EVM 0x account address An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Optimism; using a destination that is not valid for Arbitrum; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. 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. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
Optimism wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this LINK on Optimism to LINK on Arbitrum 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.
LINK is a contract representation on Optimism at 0x350a791bfc2c21f9ed5d10980dad2e2638ffa7f6. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. 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.
LINK is a contract representation on Arbitrum at 0xf97f4df75117a78c1a5a0dbb814af92458539fb4. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. LINK arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.
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.
An OP Mainnet source uses sequenced OP Stack execution and ETH gas; ordinary route processing is not the same as the canonical L2 withdrawal delay. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.
EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Optimism address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
Sending on a network other than Optimism, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Arbitrum can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Requirements are checked for the live LINK Optimism to Arbitrum 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.
