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

A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately.

Scroll to Arbitrum L2 handoff

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

Scroll deposit-side execution

Scroll is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Scroll. EVM 0x account address A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently.

Arbitrum receipt-side execution

Arbitrum is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Arbitrum. EVM 0x account address An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately.

Scroll to Arbitrum bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Scroll; using a destination that is not valid for Arbitrum; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; selecting a stablecoin by ticker without checking its network contract. A Scroll source executes in the zkEVM and is later included in a proof batch to Ethereum; Scroll contract identity must be verified independently. 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. An Arbitrum receipt appears on the Nitro L2 ledger under an Arbitrum token contract or native ETH balance; later spending needs Arbitrum ETH while L1 settlement continues separately. 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

Scroll wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Arbitrum wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDC on Scroll to USDC on Arbitrum 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 Scroll address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

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