WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Linea. The recorded Linea 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.
This route crosses two L2 execution environments. Linea settles to ethereum, while Base settles to ethereum; each side keeps its own gas balance, token contracts, transaction hash, and settlement progress.
WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Base. The recorded Base 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.
Base is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays destination-side network gas on Base. EVM 0x account address A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base.
Linea is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on Linea. EVM 0x account address A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones.
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 Linea. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.
Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Linea; using a destination that is not valid for Base; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted; treating a wrapped token as the native gas asset. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. 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 Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
Linea wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Base wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this WETH on Linea to WETH on Base 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.
WETH is a contract representation on Linea with 18 decimals at 0xe5D7C2a44FfDDf6b295A15c148167daaAf5Cf34f. ETH, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. 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.
WETH is a contract representation on Base with 18 decimals at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006. ETH, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. WETH arrives as a token contract balance. It may need an explicit unwrap before becoming native ETH and cannot itself pay transaction gas.
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.
A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. A Base receipt belongs to the Base L2 balance and token contract, not Ethereum L1; later activity needs ETH specifically on Base. The bridge output does not automatically fund every later gas need.
EVM 0x account address Do not substitute a Linea address merely because a wallet displays both networks.
Sending on a network other than Linea, selecting a representation not listed by the quote, or entering an address invalid for Base can prevent normal detection or receipt.
Requirements are checked for the live WETH Linea to Base 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.
