What you need to know

WBTC source representation

Wrapped Bitcoin is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WBTC uses a wrapped contract asset on Arbitrum. The recorded Arbitrum representation uses 8 decimal places. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer.

Arbitrum to Linea L2 handoff

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

WBTC destination representation

Wrapped Bitcoin is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WBTC uses a wrapped contract asset on Linea. The recorded Linea representation uses 8 decimal places. WBTC arrives as a wrapper-contract token and must not be sent onward to a native Bitcoin address without an explicit unwrap or bridge path.

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.

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.

WBTC unwrap or exchange input check

WBTC is a custodial tokenized Bitcoin representation on smart-contract networks. Its transfers use token contracts and approvals rather than native Bitcoin inputs and outputs. On this route WBTC is the source token on Arbitrum. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.

Arbitrum to Linea bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Arbitrum; using a destination that is not valid for Linea; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. On an Arbitrum source, the Nitro sequencer records L2 execution before Ethereum settlement completes; ETH funds gas and ERC-20 inputs can need approval. WBTC leaves through a custodial wrapper contract with token approval and source-chain gas; no native Bitcoin UTXO is spent by that transfer. 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. WBTC arrives as a wrapper-contract token and must not be sent onward to a native Bitcoin address without an explicit unwrap or bridge path.

Private Route for WBTC → WBTC

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

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