How the Sasquatch deposit route works

1. Select the source

Choose the USDC asset and ZKsync Era 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

Leaving zkSync Era L2 for Polygon L1

zkSync Era 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.

zkSync Era deposit-side execution

zkSync Era is a L2 EVM network in the Ethereum ecosystem. ETH pays source-side network gas on zkSync Era. EVM 0x account address A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum.

Select a Polygon-compatible output

EVM 0x account address POL is the native gas asset for Polygon. The quote identifies whether the delivered asset is native, contract-based, or bridged.

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.

zkSync Era to Polygon bridge mistakes

Route-specific mistakes include sending on a network other than zkSync Era; using a destination that is not valid for Polygon; running out of ETH before the source transaction is submitted. A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. A Polygon PoS receipt follows Polygon token contracts and checkpointed execution; later movement uses POL gas rather than Ethereum L1 gas.

Private Route for USDC → USDC

ZKsync Era wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public, and Polygon wallet, token-transfer, contract, log, and gas activity remain public. For this USDC on ZKsync Era to USDC 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.

ZKsync Era to Polygon FAQs

Which asset can travel from zkSync Era to Polygon?

The live route lists assets supported in this direction. Confirm that the selected source representation has an explicit Polygon output before depositing.

Which gas balances matter for this bridge?

A zkSync Era source executes in EraVM with native account-abstraction behavior and ETH fees before proof settlement to Ethereum. 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 zkSync Era address merely because a wallet displays both networks.

What wrong-direction mistake can prevent delivery?

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

Can I bridge USDC from ZKsync Era to Polygon without KYC?

Requirements are checked for the live USDC ZKsync Era 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.
