How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the LINK asset and Solana network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and ZKsync Era destination network.

3. Create the order

Open the live route and follow the exact deposit instructions.

4. Track delivery

Use the receipt and status page until the destination funds arrive.

What you need to know

Move from a Solana account into zkSync Era EVM

Solana uses Solana accounts and SOL for source fees, while zkSync Era uses an EVM 0x account and ETH for destination gas. Confirm the destination token contract and do not paste a Solana address into the EVM destination field. LINK is read from its Solana mint or native account, while LINK arrives at the quoted zkSync Era native or contract representation.

LINK mint and SOL fee checks

Base58-encoded Solana account address SOL is the native gas asset for Solana. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. 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. The mint/account selected by the quote must match the source wallet balance.

zkSync Era contract and 0x receiving checks

EVM 0x account address ETH is the native gas asset for zkSync Era. 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. A Solana address cannot receive this EVM-side output.

LINK keeps its ticker while changing ledgers

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

Solana to zkSync Era bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Solana; using a destination that is not valid for zkSync Era; running out of SOL before the source transaction is submitted; assuming solana and evm addresses are interchangeable. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. 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.

The wallet still needs the destination native asset before it can transfer or approve LINK later.

Private Route for LINK → LINK

Solana account, token, program, signature, and fee activity remain public, and ZKsync Era wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this LINK on Solana to LINK on ZKsync Era path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side Base58-encoded Solana account address and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.

Solana to ZKsync Era FAQs

What changes between the Solana source and zkSync Era receipt?

The source uses a Solana signature, mint or native account, and SOL fees. The destination uses a 0x account, ETH gas, and the quoted EVM token contract or native balance.

What LINK representation leaves Solana?

LINK is a contract representation on Solana at LinkhB3afbBKb2EQQu7s7umdZceV3wcvAUJhQAfQ23L. SOL, not LINK, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. 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 Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees. 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 Solana address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

Sending on a network other than Solana, 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 Solana to ZKsync Era without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live LINK Solana 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.
