How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the USDC asset and Ethereum network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Linea 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

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

An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract.

From Ethereum L1 into Linea L2

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

Ethereum deposit-side execution

Ethereum is a L1 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Ethereum. EVM 0x account address An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit.

Linea receipt-side execution

Linea is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Linea. EVM 0x account address A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract.

Ethereum to Linea bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Ethereum; using a destination that is not valid for Linea; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. 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 Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract. 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

Ethereum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Linea wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDC on Ethereum to USDC on Linea 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.

Ethereum to Linea FAQs

What USDC representation leaves Ethereum?

USDC is a contract representation on Ethereum at 0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48. ETH, not USDC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. 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.

What USDC representation arrives on Linea?

USDC is a contract representation on Linea with 6 decimals at 0x176211869cA2b568f2A7D4EE941E073a821EE1ff. ETH, not USDC, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract. The wallet must support the destination USDC native label or contract. Receipt does not automatically supply the destination network’s gas asset.

Does the same USDC ticker guarantee the same ledger form?

No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a USDC contract token and a USDC contract token. Match the source and output details in the live quote.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

An Ethereum source pays L1 base and priority fees in ETH, and an ERC-20 input can require a separate approval before the route deposit. A Linea receipt is recorded on the zkEVM L2 before the related proof settles to Ethereum; later activity needs ETH on Linea and the Linea token contract. 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 Ethereum address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

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

Can I bridge USDC from Ethereum to Linea without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live USDC Ethereum to Linea 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.
