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 Scroll. The Scroll 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.

Scroll to Optimism L2 handoff

This route crosses two L2 execution environments. Scroll settles to ethereum, while Optimism settles to ethereum; each side keeps its own gas balance, token contracts, transaction hash, and settlement progress.

LINK destination representation

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 arrives as a network-specific contract balance. The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Optimism receipt-side execution

Optimism is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Optimism. EVM 0x account address An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance.

Scroll deposit-side execution

Scroll is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Scroll. EVM 0x account address A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently.

Scroll to Optimism bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Scroll; using a destination that is not valid for Optimism; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. 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 OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 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.

Private Route for LINK → LINK

Scroll wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Optimism wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this LINK on Scroll to LINK on Optimism 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.

Scroll to Optimism FAQs

What LINK representation leaves Scroll?

LINK is a contract representation on Scroll at 0x548c6944cba02b9d1c0570102c89de64d258d3ac. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. 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 Optimism?

LINK is a contract representation on Optimism at 0x350a791bfc2c21f9ed5d10980dad2e2638ffa7f6. ETH, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 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.

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 Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. An OP Mainnet receipt belongs to the OP Stack L2 and needs ETH on that network for later activity; it is not an Ethereum L1 balance. 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 Scroll address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

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

Can I bridge LINK from Scroll to Optimism without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live LINK Scroll to Optimism 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.
