What you need to know

Solana to EVM route mechanics

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.

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.

Solana deposit-side execution

Solana is a L1 SVM network in the Solana ecosystem. SOL pays source-side network gas on Solana. Base58-encoded Solana account address A Solana source signs over accounts or token accounts, identifies SPL assets by mint, and spends SOL for transaction fees.

From Solana L1 into zkSync Era L2

Solana source execution occurs on L1, while zkSync Era delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. SOL pays source gas and ETH is the destination gas asset; identical-looking wallet addresses do not merge the balances or transaction histories.

Choose an asset that exists on both route sides

The live quote lists the exact Solana input asset and zkSync Era output representation. A shared ticker is not proof of a shared contract, native ledger, decimals, or wallet support.

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. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery.

Private Route for USDC → USDC

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 USDC on Solana to USDC 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.

Which asset can travel from Solana to zkSync Era?

The live route lists assets supported in this direction. Confirm that the selected source representation has an explicit zkSync Era output before depositing.

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 USDC from Solana to ZKsync Era without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live USDC 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.
