How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the WETH asset and Linea network you currently hold.

2. Review the route

Check the estimated output, fees, timing, and Polygon 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 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.

Leaving Linea L2 for Polygon L1

Linea inclusion and its ethereum settlement are distinct from final receipt on Polygon. The live route, rather than a generic rollup withdrawal assumption, determines the provider path and timing for this direction.

WETH destination representation

WETH is classified as a wrapped asset for this route. WETH uses a wrapped contract asset on Polygon. The recorded Polygon 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.

Polygon receipt-side execution

Polygon is a L1 EVM network in the Polygon ecosystem. POL pays destination-side network gas on Polygon. EVM 0x account address A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas.

Linea deposit-side execution

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 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 Linea. Its token balance, approvals, and contract transfer behavior are separate from the native coin used for network gas.

Linea to Polygon bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than Linea; using a destination that is not valid for Polygon; 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 Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. 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

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

Linea to Polygon FAQs

What WETH representation leaves Linea?

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.

What WETH representation arrives on Polygon?

WETH is a contract representation on Polygon with 18 decimals at 0x7ceB23fD6bC0adD59E62ac25578270cFf1b9f619. POL, not WETH, pays gas unless both symbols are the same. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. 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?

A Linea source is executed on the zkEVM rollup and later proven to Ethereum; L2 inclusion and proof settlement are distinct source milestones. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas. 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 Linea address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

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

Can I bridge WETH from Linea to Polygon without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live WETH Linea to Polygon 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.
