How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the WETH asset and Ethereum network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and ZKsync Era 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

WETH source representation

WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Ethereum. The recorded Ethereum representation uses 18 decimal places. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer.

From Ethereum L1 into zkSync Era L2

Ethereum source execution occurs on L1, while zkSync Era 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.

WETH destination representation

WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on zkSync Era. The recorded zkSync Era representation uses 18 decimal places. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.

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.

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.

WETH unwrap or exchange input check

WETH is a contract wrapper for ETH. It can be transferred as a token but cannot replace the native gas balance required by the network. On this route WETH is the source token on Ethereum. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.

Ethereum to zkSync Era bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Ethereum; using a destination that is not valid for zkSync Era; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. 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. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.

Private Route for WETH → WETH

Ethereum 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 WETH on Ethereum to WETH 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.

Ethereum to ZKsync Era FAQs

What WETH representation leaves Ethereum?

WETH is a contract representation on Ethereum with 18 decimals at 0xb1A7F8b3AdA1Cbd7752c1306725b07D2F8B4e726. ETH, not WETH, 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. WETH leaves through a wrapper contract and needs native chain gas. A WETH token balance cannot pay the gas required to submit its own transfer.

What WETH representation arrives on zkSync Era?

WETH is a contract representation on zkSync Era with 18 decimals at 0x5AEa5775959fBC2557Cc8789bC1bf90A239D9a91. ETH, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.

Does the same WETH ticker guarantee the same ledger form?

No. This bridge keeps the asset intent while moving between a WETH wrapped token and a WETH wrapped 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 zkSync Era receipt belongs to EraVM account state and uses ETH for later fees; proof settlement to Ethereum remains distinct from L2 delivery. 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 zkSync Era can prevent normal detection or receipt.

Can I bridge WETH from Ethereum to ZKsync Era without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live WETH Ethereum to ZKsync Era 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.
