What you need to know

USDC representation on both sides

The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset. The same stablecoin ticker does not make the two network records or contracts interchangeable.

ETH source gas and ETH destination readiness

On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery.

Arbitrum to zkSync Era L2 handoff

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

Arbitrum deposit-side execution

Arbitrum is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Arbitrum. EVM 0x account address On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval.

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.

Arbitrum to zkSync Era bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Arbitrum; using a destination that is not valid for zkSync Era; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. The source wallet sends the exact USDC native or contract representation selected by the route; contract USDC can require approval and the chain’s native gas asset. 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 wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.

Private Route for USDC → USDC

Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and ZKsync Era wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDC on Arbitrum to USDC on ZKsync Era 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.

What destination address should be used?

EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Arbitrum address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

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