other to evm network boundary
Sui and Optimism use different network identities, gas assets, wallet support, confirmation behavior, and destination conventions. Validate each side independently in the current route.

How the Sasquatch deposit route works
1. Select the source
Choose the USDC asset and Sui network you currently hold.
2. Review the route
Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Optimism 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
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.
Sui deposit-side execution
Sui is a L1 Move VM network in the Sui ecosystem. SUI pays source-side network gas on Sui. Sui hexadecimal account address with an object-based asset model A Sui source consumes or mutates Move coin objects, uses a Sui address, and spends SUI for gas and storage-related execution.
From Sui L1 into Optimism L2
Sui source execution occurs on L1, while Optimism delivery occurs on a separate L2 ledger that settles to ethereum. SUI 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 Sui input asset and Optimism output representation. A shared ticker is not proof of a shared contract, native ledger, decimals, or wallet support.
Sui to Optimism bridge mistakes
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Sui; using a destination that is not valid for Optimism; running out of SUI before the source transaction is submitted; assuming other and evm addresses are interchangeable. A Sui source consumes or mutates Move coin objects, uses a Sui address, and spends SUI for gas and storage-related execution. 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.
Private Route for USDC → USDC
Sui account, object, transaction-effect, and fee activity remain public, and Optimism wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDC on Sui to USDC on Optimism path, Private Route is intended to reduce the direct visible relationship between activity around the source-side Sui hexadecimal account address with an object-based asset model and destination-side EVM 0x account address; it does not hide either chain's public records.
- ✓Reduces the obvious link between the USDC deposit and USDC receipt
- ✓Compare standard and Private Route options for Sui → Optimism
- ✓Shows what remains public on Sui and Optimism before you deposit

Sui to Optimism FAQs
Which side uses Sui coin objects and SUI gas?
Sui is the Sui side. Its Move coin types, address, objects, and SUI gas do not transfer as EVM contract metadata.
Which asset can travel from Sui to Optimism?
The live route lists assets supported in this direction. Confirm that the selected source representation has an explicit Optimism output before depositing.
Which gas balances matter for this bridge?
A Sui source consumes or mutates Move coin objects, uses a Sui address, and spends SUI for gas and storage-related execution. 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 Sui address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?
Sending on a network other than Sui, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Optimism can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Can I bridge USDC from Sui to Optimism without KYC?
Requirements are checked for the live USDC Sui 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.
